It’s a gorgeous Hotel even after all of these years. I love the architecture shape of the building itself not to mention the interior of course.

Except for Ronnie Tutt was Elvis' drummer in 1970 not what the foreign guy said. He said it was Lange. That is incorrect. You even see him in the movie

That greenroom has an energy, doesn't it? First time you're in there, knowing that its the room in a film you've been watching for 30 years, just makes it an incredible space to occupy.

I saw Elvis not in Vegas but two times In 1974 Memphis and 1976 Ft Wayne And both times was a Rush !! Trust me I didn’t have to be in Vegas to get that rush what a man and what a feeling Electricity was everywhere it was amazing words could never describe I’ve been to 100 concerts other singers and I never got that RUSH OR CHARGE LIKE YOU DID AT A ELVIS CONCERT ! Incredible it was a very incredible And it was a very formal unlike other concerts Everybody was seated

Mr Spa Guy! You got me hooked! Like I said, when you use the pictures to juxtaposition from today to yesterday is AMAZING! I “saw” the Green Room at the International! Every Elvis fan knows - if those walls could talk! Each new video is just exciting to see. This was “Mondo success!👍👍👏👏👏” my friend. Thanks 🙏 ( would tighten up mean to tighten your seals ( Spa Guy recommends) ? This is my guess! 😝🤷‍♀️ Taking Care of T/U 👍👍👏👏😉. ❤️EP👑❤️

I was hoping Spa Guy or one of the two "Elvis Experts" would mention the meeting between Elvis, Barbara Streisand and her manager at the time Jon Peters. Excellent. Love the snapshots, particularly of Elvis and Mr. Cary Grant sharing an amusing moment; evidence of the expression on Elvis and Cary's faces. I love it. And also before I forget, one of the Elvis expert gentlemen is wearing a Brian Setzer tour t-shirt, Mr. Setzer was the lead singer, as readers may recall to the Stray Cats recording group from the early 1980s with the return in popularity of "rockabilly: music which is also connected to our man Elvis, of course.

Billy, It is so cool that you got to sit on that couch in that room knowing that Elvis was there and spent so much time in that very room. Thanks Spa Guy, more great stories and history about Elvis. Take Care & God Bless.

That would of been a treat of a lifetime ! Miss him. So glad we have his music and ones like you who keep his memory alive with such great trivia.

At 11:26 Arjan mentions Col Parker's arm being in a bandage when he met him there in 1987. The reason for the bandage as mentioned in one of the books was a result of a fall that Parker suffered at the entrance to one of the elevators, and the doors kept repeatedly opening and closing on his arm. It was as if he was being attacked by the elevator.

That was a great story about the Dutch photographer! Great ingenuity he had! I know Elvis got a kick out of the guys ingenuity of fooling security. That's probably why he let him take pictures, he loved people that thought outside the box. Dick Grob said he was constantly testing his security detail and giving them the slip.

Cary Grant is the good looking grey haired geezer talking to Elvis. Don't know if you're interested but there are/were some photos of Cary Grant in the Peabody Hotel in Memphis.... or there was in 1990. Coincidentally, I was in Memphis when Sammy Davis Jr died. Anyway, the photos where taken when he stayed there not long before he died in 1986.
