Elvis was in the building again…and again…and again…as the beloved Night of 100 Elvises made its triumphant return after three long years of a COVID-caused hiatus. Whether on stage, in the crowd, manning the sound board, having a drink at the bar, or nabbing a peanut butter-and-bacon sandwich, there was an Elvis Presley around every corner.

With the annual shindig in recovery mode, there were fewer performers than there have been in previous years. But many costumed guests made up the Elvis differential, so it certainly seemed like there were 100 Presleys present. In addition to enjoying the night’s musical entertainment by at least 20 Elvis tribute artists and bands, the more than 300 guests gleefully enjoyed Elvis-themed food and drinks, mingled with other partygoers, and generally immersed themselves in the campy scene—which included “showgirls” in the Viva Las Vegas Lounge. Being a fan of the original King of Rock and Roll wasn’t a requirement for attendance—you just had to be a fan of having fun.

Proceeds from the party benefited Hungry for Music, a children’s music education and instrument donation non-profit.
