Nevada
Is there a man even more synonymous with Las Vegas than the one and only; the King of Rock n’ Roll; Elvis Presley? The man wasn’t even from the State of Nevada. And yet, just like how Frank Sinatra sang about a city he’s not even from (he’s from New Jersey, and he made the song “New York, New York”), Elvis sang to the heavens, “Viva Las Vegas.”
And the icon of this casino-laden haven has thanked the “Hound Dog” icon ever since. In fact, endless numbers of Elvis impersonators do shows in Vegas (and beyond). After all, we can’t experience the real Elvis anymore in person, so we just have to make do with all of his variants.
