I remember walking into Graceland and having a tingling feeling and just at peace I’m in my happy place Elvis had aura about him that no others had
Makes me cry spa guy that's for your love for elvis Richard uk Coventry England
I visited Hilton hotel in 2009 and Thanks to the Staff I've been able to walk around the stage ! I'll never forget , It Was amazing .... ❤️
Wow 😮 lucky 🍀 you!
Thank you, Spa Guy. This is extraordinary. As a life long Elvis fan, I sometimes get a sense that I've pretty much seen, heard & read all things Elvis. You have put that feeling away. I am fascinated by what you have produced here. Thank you for all your time and effort.
Fascinating insight. Such a documentary should have been done decades ago when all the original fittings were still in place. But no one had the inclination back then it seems. We're privileged that you've taken the trouble to go all the way and beyond to share this in-depth material that I personally have been yearning to see for so long. Thank you Billy. Can't wait for the rest!!
I'm with you, T. However, we all can be glad that in the past half century previous owners haven't totally decimated the place. All we have to do is tear off the coverings and most of the original glory is still there beneath it. Let's go!ua-cam.com/video/ZQ2EvXWjBtk/v-deo.html
I'm willing, as long as those funky angels are still there to protect me !!
Indeed. lol
Hello from England
Elvis HAD THAT SWAGGER, THE VOICE, THE STAGE PRESENCE and would COMMAND THE AUDIENCE. This is why he WAS THE KING
Spa guy you do an amazing job 😊 i wasnt born yet during the Elvis presley times, but i sure wish i cold have Thanks for sharing.
After watching 'That's The Way It Is' countless of times since I was a youngster in Europe, I knew that one day I will walk into that room. Sure enough, after moving permanently to Las Vegas from Europe, I was able to sneak into that showroom a few years ago. I was the only soul in that room and got the chills like never before. I will never forget that feeling.
You are doing what I've always wondered what it was like to walk in Elvis' foot steps from all the iconic film footage from Vegas/Memphis..heck..anywhere! Billy, thank you for being the Elvis Spectre. You are like the living ghost of Elvis past! Lets not forget the Gray Ghost neither. You go above and beyond not only for yourself as an Elvis historian but for us HUGE fans like myself who can only wish to do half of what you do and provide. From myself I thank you from the heart and soul. You are Such a talented musician. Hoping one day we can meet and always know that when you say..There you have it friends! You know you have one here in Connecticut. Been going to Graceland since 1980. You go above and beyond. Again, Thank you and god bless. Always be safe and you Tighten Up for us always. Sincerely, Rowland
Spa guy,that was beyond incredible!!! The view from that stage was everything!!! Your videos are the best. Cannot wait for the next!😭😉
I had visited the USA in ‘76 and when I was checking into my hotel in LA there was a ticket box in the foyer. The concert was for Long Beach, I stopped and actually held a ticket in my hand! Then I realised that my whole itinerary would be be messed up. As I was going to be in the USA for a few months I decided to catch a show down the track as he was on tour. My next stop was Vegas and I went to the hotel and they allowed me to see the showroom. I stood near the sound box and pictured Elvis on that stage. I could feel the energy of that room. It was April and I then went to the mid west for a couple of months. Somehow I didn’t get to see him before departing for Europe. The very next year he passed away. If I have one big regret in my life it was that!! Actually holding a ticket and then deciding against it. The motto of this story was that opportunity comes grab it as there may not be another.!!
You Are Right!! Never pass up something cool!!
I loved this vídeo. Seeing the places where the mity of ELVIS Presley passed and made history was wonderful. For me "the Internacional hotel" is a sort of "Elvistic cathedral". I love Elvis and this sacred place where ELVIS took thousands of fans to delirium.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nāo sei Ingles, apenas algumas palavras. Aprendizagem da matéria que fez parte das grades currículares no Ensino Fundamental. Muito superficial, mas deu prá ver que seu comentário foi muito bom mesmo. Parabéns por ele. Voce é ótima!
Até o próximo.
Abraços.
IMACULADA CONCEIÇÃO 😘😘😘👏👏👏👏👏🌺🌺🌺🌺💖💖💖
Amazing......Elvis King the world!!!!!
A true fan who always honors Elvis . Thank you from one super fan to another for all your dedicated work and keeping Elvis' spirit alive!
and that,s the way it is. well done spa guy you never fail to impress me
How wonderful of you and these two gentleman to be so kind as to take us on these history tour's of Elvis( not the king, only GOD 😘 is King )
The quality of your videos in terms of content never ceases to amaze me. Thanks
I thought the International was torn down. Never wanted to go to Las Vegas until now and stay in one of the rooms there but I have to tighten up first and save up for some money. Can't wait for part 2 !
This is fantastic! Spa Guy, you're living my dreams, lol. Thankyou so much for giving us a glimpse of the things we may never get to see for ourselves. Love x 1000
Thank you Spa Guy and all the considerate people who allow you to have access to the buildings. Walking where Elvis went is priceless! Thanks!
You are the man! Another first! Those guys should work in conjunction with the hotel to give tours. They'd make a mint.
It would be awesome to travel where all Elvis has been!!! Just meet half the people he came in contact with!!! Wow Billy that’s what you do!!!🤪😁😁 What awesome video’s you bring us SG!! Thanks so much!
what a great film, spa man you get to the greatest places and bring it alive for us who can't get there, thank you my friend.
Very very good Spa Guy ! Elvis for ever and ever !
Wow!!! I'm gonna love this set of videos. Priceless insight to an important part of Elvis history. Thanks so much.
Loving this,and so excited that there is more coming! Thank you for your work,I keep saying it but you are the best 👍👍👍
I love the energy and enthusiasm of our two guest presenters. And the video clip really moves along fast. I was surprised to see the end credit appear so quickly. I guess I am enjoying the presentation and didn't want it to end. Hehehhe.
Very informative and educational, no one else does videos like this about Elvis. Thank you
Thank you Billy for this great part 1. Such an amazing video 👏🏻👌🏼
I always try looking for this stage and couldn't find it but Billy .y man tighten up as always and found it amazing friends AMAZING I ENJOY IT BILLY THANKS SO MUCH ..GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AS WELL AND DAD TOO !!!
WOW again! Great video as always and can't wait for the part 2.
Love your work spa guy
Man, I still have some of your past episodes I have to watch. Just watched this one today. What a great Hotel. So great that they kept a lot of things like some of those cool older Chandeliers. Wouldn't mind going there just to have a good look around. Enjoyable one. Thanks again, Billy.
I finally had time to watch all parts.. now Im rewatching them all..looking forward to part 6. I like those guys! and I noticed Prince was mentioned... My home town boy from Minnesota!
Incredibably True 😉 you are the expert spa Guy, thank you 🇫🇷
Any concert or video I’ve ever watched with Elvis in it I never saw anything but him. I only recently paid attention to his singers and band members. He was mesmerizing to me
ALSO ** Interesting story if you read this Spa Guy, I stayed in Memphis for a week a couple months ago and tried to go see Scotty Moores old house where Elvis first met him and Bill Black to audition, I was chased out of the neighborhood... I can laugh about it now, but at the time it was pretty wild. I couldnt even get a picture off, some teenagers jumped in a pick up truck and tried running me off the road. Sad. Love your stuff man, keep on doing it.
Wow Josh be safe my friend it is a dangerous neighborhood there for sure..
'This is very cool' Billy, to think over 600 the over times Elvis tread those same foot falls. Wow. Again I'm living vicariously through your videos sir :), looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.
Billy you are the man!!! Love this channel so much!!! Thank you again sir!!!
Wow! It’s breathtaking! How must you have felt being there! 👏👏👏
On to part 2.
Still not sure why just odd..
You did uh Fantastic job Mr. Billy👍👍👍
i don't know how many times i've seen the movie and here it is spa guy stay one of kind.........
Great footage, great to see this. I was last there in 2012, wish I had been able to get to all the corridors and backstage like you guys!
Awesome Elvis history, can't wait to see the rest. Thank you brother Billy! Tighten up. :-)
Thank you for this historic Elvis story - pure Gold! Greetings from all of us in Far East !
Wow! Fantastic video! Thank you so much Spa Guy
this is gonna be great.....thanks so much Spa Guy......you are the man
Fantastic! That was very interesting. I had the good fortune of visiting that stage in 2005. Walked in hoping not to get tossed out and went to the stage where he would've waited to come out during his intro. I noticed a very old mirror on the wall adjacent to where Elvis would've been standing prior to coming out. Always wondered if Elvis looked into that mirror. Can't wait for the subsequent showings, Spa Guy! :)
.Thank you so much Billy and Trey for giving us incredible parts of Elvis history !
Ty spa guy love ur dedication to elvis😂🇨🇦🇨🇦
Once again Billy boy...brilliant pal
solid gold spa guy...can not wait to see the rest!

Wow thars amazing footage. So cool
Thank you for part 1 of the story about Elvis and his time at what was then, The International Hilton in Las Vegas Showroom where Elvis stood and performed incredible shows for thousands of people who loved him. It seems that I noticed part 2 of the story first, after I started looking at it. That's alright, I enjoyed both videos and look forward to part 3. Love you Spa Guy!!
Billy you kick ass and take names, great job you do.
Just a fantastic video on the International Hilton in Las Vegas where Elvis did his shows. Nice to get some insight. Thanks to Mr. Richard Crofts for his insight and sharing his memories. The one regret is never being able to see Elvis in person at one of his shows. Many thanks Mr. Spa Guy. I look forward to the other parts to this story. God bless.
wow spa guy when you opened the showroom doors I had tingles, and I am here in Wales in the UK i probably would have been very emotional if I had been with you thank you for all you are doing it is fascinating
Great video as always...thanks for your job!!
WOW! Great video!!! Looking forward to see more....
Love your vids Spa Guy! thanks!! from Argentina!
Beautiful sight.love it!
Spa guy. You got to get UP. in his PENTHOUSE You were pointing to it. Great info. Loving it. Vegas years. For me.
This is so cool and it's intriguing to me when I hear stories from people who have as much enthusiasm about Elvis as I do 😊. Awesome video Spa Guy, I can't wait to see the rest!
I dont know why you dont make some kind of dvd i get more out of watching youre uploads than anyone elses youre simply the best keep up the good work many thanks russ
Wow, thank you Billy, this truly is something to see, looking forward to the rest, thank you.
The link to the next one should be at the end.. All 6 are out..
@@SpaGuy thank you Billy
WOW thank you so much billy.i would never have ever been so lucky to have seen this ever if it wasn’t for all your research my friend.lovin it.so exciting x
600 plus concerts right there!!! Amazing. Great this building still exists as so many buildings get demolished.Cranny how life goes as Elvis was not very well received in the 50's in Vegas but then in 69 -76 (77 ?) was the top draw!!! Gee want a good seat a tip of $100 will get ya closer. Big $$$ back then as mentioned. Of all the places Elvis sang I suppose he liked Vegas & Hawaii the most. Possibly Memphis as well. Really super vid.
Back in the 90s my mom had a party at the top of the Hilton, next to Elvis's suite/floor, his elevator that went to his floor, very interesting up there, great views of the city too.
Thank you for sharing!! I have never been to Vegas, this is so awesome!
This is the coolest ever. That statue though is poorly done. I would be embarrassed to have it in my hotel. That's the Way it Is was an amazing movie. Elvis was by far in his prime there. Hard to imagine in 6 years or so he became so ill and died. Such a waste. Self destruction is terrible. His mother was the same though. Billy thank you so much for these videos and so jealous you got to stand on the stage where Elvis stood. Binging these shows from first to last. Enjoying every minute of it. Thank you!
La sua voce scavalchera anche questo millennio. Nello Italia .
And Elvis thought he'd be forgotten..Never!
Man this is some great stuff. I've been an Elvis fan since I was a kid in the 60s I'm 58 now. I got to see Elvis Presley perform in Kansas City and also got to shake his hand..Elvis was the BEST!!!
Worth you were so very lucky
Awesome Spa Guy and thank you! I lived in Vegas back in 1985 for six months but never got into the Hilton,/International backstage like this! Thank you!
Hi Spa Guy I really wanted to go to Graceland this year but did not make it. I was at Graceland back in 1995, when I was 24. and that was the last time I was there. Hope you are having a good time at Elvis Week.
Another superb video. On a visit from England in 2013, i managed to visit the showroom and the dressing room! so this brings back great memories of an iconic place in
Elvis history
Thanks Billy ...this is fantastic . .I was in Vegas November last year...I visited the Westgate....I agree I was disappointed with the statue...did not resemble Elvis at all but it was nice to be in a place where Elvis had been...I could almost feel his spirit there...but this is a beautiful insight into the walk along to the stage that he would have walked.. once again thanks Billy as always another wonderful video...
Just awesome you took the time to capture history.
Wow you keep doing a great job billy i love it cant wait for more
Wow. So cool to see where it all happened. Ty
You are one busy man! Love all the videos!
Another great video Spa Guy. Always enjoy your efforts with such detail
Another one out of the park Billy. Much appreciated good Sir. Bless.
I knew the room was large but good Heaven's I didn't realize how many seats were there till ya get the stage view. I'm so glad you got to go and share with us. I can't even imagine doing that night after night and them being sold out shows, I can imagine the pressure to be perfect as a man can get was brutal. I am not at all impressed with that statue. Boo to them lol
Some times he would do two shows a night and on occasion three shows.
This so cool thanks for sharing and all you do Spa Guy 🤙
I am an audio engineer for a major entertainment company. If I could go back in time my two favorite audio engineer gigs would be the Ed Sullivan show when Elvis played and the Elvis concert series at the International Hotel.
Both would be epic.. Wonder what the board setup would have been at both..
None of that was there when I last stayed at The LVH! No Elvis memorabilia whatsoever!
I love 💗 that you retraced his steps. 👍👏👏
Thank you again Friend.
Taking Care of T.U.
( I tipped a lot but never got past the 2nd tier there! )
Looking forward to the rest!
Yes! I've been waiting to see this video..can wait for the others .ty Billy. Ur much appreciated..God Bless
Thank you Spa Guy. This was another gem of a video you made. I loved it and can’t wait for the others to follow. You really have given a lot of rare and never before seen views in your videos. 👍
Wow!!!!! Spa Guy you just keep out doing yourself. Awesome!
Love your videos, 👍 keep them coming
Love it. one of your BEST Elvis videos, thanks.
Thanks for this, Spa Guy. I look forward to the rest of them .
I was at the Westgate in May 2015 for the Elvis Experience with Martin Fountain, the entertainer who "recreated" the Elvis Vegas show. Wonderful! I tried to imagine what it was really like. The Graceland museum was open there, too. Unfortunately, this was shut down. There was not a lot of publicity for it and younger people who came to Vegas weren't interested, I guess😢.
Man that is just awesome, I have always wanted to see what that place looks like now!! I have seen That's The Way It Is hundreds of times!!! Thanks for sharing Spa Guy!!
Two years ago I stayed overnight here in Westgate. It really was something to be there. Best part was visiting privately (only me and my family) Elvis's apartments and going up and down in his private elevator (which is gorgeous!) He seldom used it because of mobbing (it is locating in too visible place) and used service lift instead. Love this series! 😃
