<\/a>Check out a cool gallery of rock and roll superstars as they’d look today<\/a>. And Las Vegas Weekly did a great article about the 25 Greatest Headliners in Las Vegas History<\/a> that’s worth a look.<\/p>\n We’ll say it. Like many legends, Elvis’ legacy actually benefits from having passed when he did (1977).<\/p>\n If Elvis were playing Las Vegas now, he’d be taking hits for trying to reclaim his former glory without the voice to back it up. Audiences would wonder if he’s doing his own singing or lip-syncing. (He’d be lip-syncing, or at least be using vocal backing tracks, because just about every big star in Las Vegas does, even the great singers like Celine.)<\/p>\n His show would be an over-the-top spectacle, though, with an ample supply of showgirls and visual references to his amazing music and movie career. Mostly the music part.<\/p>\n People would note what an amazing head of hair The King still has.<\/p>\n Elvis would be rolled out for public appearances around Las Vegas. He’d tap a keg at Hofbräuhaus during Oktoberfest<\/a> and make the rounds at red carpets whenever a new show opened on The Strip, pretending to know who “Murray the Celebrity Magician” is. He’d get a Proclamation from the mayor every time his show hit an anniversary year with a “5” or “0” at the end.<\/p>\n Even when Elvis was killing it, it was already getting a little awkward.<\/p>\n
