Put on your blue suede shoes and join us for a Viva Las Vegas Valentine's Movie Night featuring Elvis Presley! It's a hunka hunka burning love under the neon lights. Let's rock 'n' roll together! Angie Marchese, Vice President of Archives & Exhibits at Graceland, is planning a trip to Philadelphia to host a special Valentine's Day showing of the film “Viva Las Vegas.”
Alongside Marchese, Brandon Coleman will be there as our very own Elvis Presley for the evening bringing authenticity to a memorable time celebrating the timeless charm and musical magic of Elvis Presley’s iconic era.
The 1964 musical comedy starring Presley as all-musically gifted race-driver Lucky Jackson wants in Las Vegas is to score enough money for a new car motor so he can win the Grand Prix. When he encounters swimming instructor Rusty (Ann-Margret), he considers staying around longer. After Lucky loses his winnings in the hotel pool, he's forced to remain in Vegas long enough to win back his dough -- but now he also wants to win Rusty's heart. Unfortunately, so does his slick racing enemy, Elmo (Cesare Danova).
