THE ROULETTES

THIS ELVIS SHOW WILL BE EPIC!

Join Graceland's 2024 Ultimate ETA Champion EMILIO SANTORO and 2022 Ultimate ETA Champion VICTOR TREVINO JR as they present ELVIS IN VEGAS!

Starting with Elvis’ first (and lukewarm) appearances in Las Vegas at the New Frontier Hotel to his iconic performances on the stage of the International Hotel in the 70s, this show will tell stories unknown to even the most ardent Elvis fans.

Recognized by 2 of the WORLD'S BEST Elvis Tribute Artists by Elvis Presley Enterprises, the vocals, moves, energy and charisma of these 2 performers will leave you speechless!

A Gospel Show Unlike Any You've Seen
at A Festival Before!

After the curtain falls and the roar of the crowd fades at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, another, more intimate performance begins—one few ever witnessed, and even fewer truly understood.

The Southern Gospel Roots of Elvis – The Vegas Years is a soulful, behind-closed-doors drama that reimagines the private nightly ritual of Elvis Presley at the height of his Vegas years. Trapped by fame and unable to attend church like an ordinary man, Elvis creates his own sanctuary high above the Strip. In his suite, far from the flashing lights and casino noise, he gathers his closest musicians, friends, and an ever-changing circle of curious celebrities for something deeply personal: all-night gospel sessions that stretch into dawn.

Join THE SPIRE in welcoming 2 x JUNO nominated ALEX BIRD & THE JAZZ MAVERICKS for an evening of jazz as Alex blends the soulful influence of legends like Tony Bennett with his own groundbreaking, original compositions.

Growing up in the heart of the city’s jazz scene and refined by a career in film and classical theatre, Alex Bird brings a storytelling depth that is rare in modern music. 

Fresh off his 2025 Bossa Nova collaboration with Latin Grammy winner Cheo, Bird continues to rewrite the textbook for vocal jazz with a style described by Downbeat Magazine as an “elegant, romantic gem.”
