Elvis Tribute Artist Travis Powell captivates audiences with a performance that faithfully re-creates the energy, charisma and excitement of Elvis’ comeback in Las Vegas.
More than 55 years after Elvis Presley changed Las Vegas entertainment, his enduring legacy continues to fill the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. After a second consecutive sold-out performance of “1969 Live! The King Returns,” Westgate Las Vegas has announced that the concert experience will return for a third time on Saturday, July 31, 2027.
Presented on the anniversary of Elvis’ historic opening night at the International Hotel on July 31, 1969, the show once again drew Elvis fans from across the country to experience one of the most iconic moments in entertainment history – re-created on the legendary stage where it first took place.

More than a tribute concert, “The King Returns” has become a celebration of one of the defining moments in Las Vegas entertainment history.
“Our job is to honor what made this property legendary while continuing to create experiences people can’t find anywhere else.
