▪︎Elvis meeting fans, after the Dinner Show..
▪︎Four French Elvis fans, traveled all the way to Las Vegas to see “The King’s Return to Stage”. They attended seven shows between August 12 and August 25. On August 12, after the dinner show, they were allowed to meet Elvis in his dressing room for 15 minutes. He signed autographs, chatted and gave them tickets to attend the Midnight Show, that same night.
▪︎Mathieu Minacapelli (one of the fans) Recalls:•”We left Paris for the United States on 5th August, travelled by bus from New York to Memphis – of course, a visit to Graceland was a must for us – and eventually arrived in Vegas six days later at three in the morning. We went straight to the International Hotel and had the chance to visit the showroom: we wanted to be sure that we had reached the place where Elvis would perform.”•”Finally, we were invited to enter the room. Elvis came over to us and shook our hands with a large smile on his face. Elvis’ father, Vernon, was also there as was The Colonel. The King thanked us for having made the trip from France just to see him. What a fascinating personality. Believe it or not, but after a few moments we were standing there all relaxed in front of Elvis Presley who was just simply talking to us. It was amazing to see how he made people feel comfortable. Elvis was in a class of his own and, furthermore, he looked in great shape.”•”For us, these minutes were the happiest moments that we had enjoyed in our young lives.”
