Clue #1:
This location is less than a mile from the Las Vegas City Hall
Could this be at the Las Vegas Hilton – obviously from behind the statue. It was dedicated on the 31st anniversary of his passing. Objects to the left and right are the guitar and microphone in his hands? It’s significant since he performed 837 consecutive sold-out shows and before 2.5 million people. The statue was inside, but moved outside in 2006.
Wow! Patti you’re darn good at this puzzle!
Yes, this is a statue of the “King of Las Vegas” Elvis Presley, who still holds the record for the longest continuous engagement of any performer — Eight years at the Las Vegas Hilton. The statue was created by Carl Romanelli in 1978 and can be found just outside the main entrance to hotel.
oh I couldn’t wait to get out of work today to see what today’s puzzle would be — thanks!! So much fun!! now to wait until next Thursday!
Wow, Patti! Thanks for the added info about the statue. I didn’t know about the dedication. Also, I thought I remembered that it was inside, and now I know I wasn’t confused about that!
