Elvis In Concert December 1975
Elvis third appearance in Vegas in 1975 was called the "Pre-Holiday Jubilee". This engagement was to get Elvis to complete his cancelled shows from August, and as Vegas normally closed down in December, it was a risk to get Elvis in as it was normally so quiet at this time of year. But as usual Elvis changed all that, and Vegas came alive as soon as it was mentioned Elvis would be coming to town.
