What\u2019s the best way to get comped in Vegas? We bet turning up in Elvis Presley\u2019s private jet may be a fast track to some real VIP treatment. In fact, we couldn\u2019t think of a more \u201cballer\u201d way to arrive in town.<\/p>\n

Elvis Presley\u2019s private jet has been sitting on the tarmac in New Mexico for the past 30 years. It needs a new owner and can be yours for several million dollars. Come on, it\u2019s now or never. (Image: GWS Auctions Inc)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And now you can, if you have a few million bucks lying around and the\u00a0number of a good aircraft mechanic. That\u2019s because the King\u2019s 1962 Lockheed Jetstar private plane is up for auction next weekend.<\/p>\n

Elvis, who was Vegas\u2019 star attraction between 1969 and 1976, and left an indelible mark on the city, may have permanently left the building, but his jet hasn\u2019t gone anywhere in decades.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been sitting on a runway in New Mexico for the past 30 years, gathering tumbleweed.<\/p>\n

Love Elvis? Tender Your Offers<\/b><\/h2>\n

OK, it needs some restoration. The gold-tones with woodwork, red shag carpet and red velvet seats, all personally designed by Elvis, are looking a little frayed these days, and a lot of work needs to be done on the cockpit.<\/p>\n

Oh, and it\u2019s missing all its engines. But it can be yours for around $2 million to $3.5 million .<\/p>\n

At least, that\u2019s the ballpark figure auctioneer GWS Auctions of California<\/a> expects the it to go for on Saturday (May, 27), when bids will start at $10,000. It\u2019s one of 315 lots included in an auction of rock and roll celebrity memorabilia that includes handwritten notes from The Beach Boys and lost photos of the late R&B singer Aaliyah.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThis is the \u2018lost\u2019 jet. It was very important to Elvis, as he owned it with his beloved father, Vernon,\u201d explains the auctioneer\u2019s website. “This jet has the potential of being fully restored, and placed on exhibit for the world to come see.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Suspicious Minds<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, at the Westgate Casino Las Vegas<\/a>, there is a whole bunch of Elvis memorabilia that has definitely not left the building. In fact, it remains impounded in the casino, despite a lawsuit launched in April 2016 by Elvis\u2019 estate to get it back.<\/p>\n

These are the assorted stage outfits, letters and jewelry, and even the TV remote from Elvis\u2019 Graceland mansion, all of which formed part of the casino\u2019s ill-fated “Graceland Presents Elvis” attraction, launched at the casino last year, before being swiftly abandoned.<\/p>\n

It seems Westgate fell out with the company operating the show, Exhibit A Circle, who, the casino claims, left it in the lurch by suddenly walking from the project, despite signing a ten year contract.<\/p>\n

Westgate is suing Exhibit A Circle for breach of contract and, apparently, keeping the rare Elvis artifacts as collateral.<\/p>\n

Elvis Presley Enterprises accuses Westgate of \u201caggressively seizing the valuables without a legitimate basis\u201d as a means to gain leverage in its case against Exhibit A Circle.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s enough to make you empty a .357 magnum into your television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
