Today, on 14 July in Elvis History

The film's cast and crew of Viva Las Vegas traveled to Las Vegas where they stayed at the Sahara Hotel.

During this period Elvis spoke with almost every musician he knew about accompanying him to Las Vegas.

Rehearsals for the upcoming show in Las Vegas were held at MGM's studio in Culver City and were filmed for use in the documentary that would be titled "That's The Way It Is".

Elvis was in Tahoe in preparation for the opening.

Elvis performed at the Civic Center, Springfield, Massachusetts, where Elvis threw his guitar into the crowd.

Elvis flew on to Las Vegas with Linda, where he once again put himself under Dr. Ghanem's care.
