In 1969, the King didn’t just return — he exploded back onto the stage. After the world saw him reclaim his crown in the ’68 Comeback Special, Elvis Presley stormed into the brand-new International Hotel in Las Vegas for his legendary opening shows. Backed by the powerhouse TCB Band, soaring gospel harmonies, and a full orchestra, Elvis blended sweat-drenched rock ’n’ roll, heart-stopping ballads, here was a man who had nothing left to prove — and everything to give.
Now, Tommy Holland brings that moment back to life in a breathtaking recreation that will transport you to the front row of 1969. Tommy captures not just the look and the sound, but the raw, unstoppable spirit of Elvis at his peak. This isn’t an impersonation — it’s a time machine to the night the King conquered Las Vegas.

From there, the journey moves to 1972 and the whirlwind spectacle of Elvis on Tour. The Vegas stage gives way to sold-out arenas across America, as Elvis commands the road with dazzling jumpsuits, powerhouse vocals, and the kind of high-octane performances that drove fans into a frenzy. Tommy Holland as Elvis embodies this era with uncanny precision — from the swagger in his walk to the fire in his voice, from the heartfelt intensity of “American Trilogy” to the rock ’n’ roll punch of “Burning Love.” Every gesture, every note, every glance at the crowd is infused with the same passion and electricity that made Elvis’ touring years unforgettable.
Get ready to clap, cheer, and lose yourself in the show that redefined live entertainment — from the night Elvis conquered Las Vegas to the years he ruled the road.

Long live the music that shook the world.
