Today, on 9 July in Elvis History

Due to the success of "That's All Right" on the radio, Elvis, Scotty and Bill tried to make a B side for the single. Probably this was the day they cut "Blue Moon Of Kentucky".

Unexpectedly Elvis, Red West, Gene and Junior Smith and Arthur Hooton, showed up at June Juanico's house in Biloxi.

Elvis reported to MGM for preproduction on Viva Las Vegas. Soundtrack recording began at Radio Recorders at 7:00 p.m. and ran till 4:15 a.m.

From Los Angeles Elvis flew in a chartered jet to Las Vegas, where he checked into the International before he went on to Palm Springs.

Elvis performed at the Hulman Civic Center, Terre Haute, Indiana.
