Cozy up to Elvis' Las Vegas history in this $20,000 (per night) suite

Miami Herald17-06-2025
LAS VEGAS - The "Elvis Suite" at Westgate has never been named as such. It has been known as Tuscany Sky Villa, and now Imperial Sky Villa.
But it is Elvis' old Vegas home, no matter the name.
The new brand is a relaunch of the 13,200-square-foot fortress that has topped the tower since it opened as International Hotel 1969. This is where Elvis lived, hung out, entertained and even fired shots into the ceiling (since repaired) in his run at International/Las Vegas Hilton from 1969-76.
The dwelling is open for booking at the WestgateResorts.com website, with rates around starting at around $20,000 per night (varying on demand, spiking during busier weekends, of course). The new branding is the latest offering in the ongoing Elvis 90th Birthday Celebration across the resort.
The Imperial Sky Villa was originally part of the Sky Villas, overhauled for $60 million 30 years ago. The annex has mostly been used for corporate parties. The new, palatial area "now combines grand design with deep reverence for Elvis Presley," according to a release from the hotel. New, period photography is being added.
"Guests are invited to walk in his footsteps, surrounded by a curated visual homage and plaques that tell the story of his unforgettable Las Vegas years - from his first performance at the International Hotel in 1969 to his legendary 'Aloha from Hawaii' press conference."
Multiple bedrooms, ostentatious living and dining areas, spa-outfitted lavatories and panoramic views are among the amenities. So is the Skyroom Lounge (later known as the Crown Room), where Elvis partied with his legendary friends and visitors.
Westgate is fully loaded with Elvis offerings in his 90th birthday celebration. The "1969 Live Concert: The King Returns" runs for two performances July 31, on the anniversary of Presley's opening at the International Hotel 1969. "The King Comes Home" stage show runs in residency at Westgate Cabaret, and "My Brother Elvis: An Evening with David Stanley" monthly backstage tour and on-stage chat is back June 25.
You can't miss Elvis even when you enter the building, with a pop-up memorabilia display on the right, and his famous bronze statue a few paces to the left.

Watch: Austin Butler explains his Bad Bunny concert dance on 'Tonight'

1 of 5 | Austin Butler poses during the "Eddington" photocall at the Cannes Film Festival in May. He attended a Bad Bunny concert recently and discussed his unique dance on "Tonight" Tuesday. File Photo by Rocco Spaziani/UPI | License Photo Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Elvis star Austin Butler has explained his unique dance at a recent Bad Bunny concert, attributing it to an edible. The actor, 33, recently attended his Caught Stealing co-star's show in Puerto Rico, and unpacked the experience on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon Tuesday. "I thought we were just gonna be in an audience, you know, like with everybody and so somebody gave me an edible right before the show and I thought that was a good idea at the time and so I ate the edible and then it turns out we're in like a casita -- a house that is basically the second stage, that he comes and he's on that stage at one point," Butler told Fallon. He then explained how he felt as though his brain was divided "in two movies." The first train of thought was that he was so proud of his colleague and was "falling in love with Puerto Rican culture and the dancing." "And then the other part of me is like, 'Don't dance,'" he explained. "'Because you'll take attention away from him. This is his moment.'" "But then the music's so good and it's like in my bones at that point and so I'm like wanting to dance but then the other voice inside is saying, 'Don't take attention away,' so I ended up just like swaying my hips while crossing my arms," he continued. Caught Stealing arrives in theaters Aug. 29 and is directed by Darren Aronofsky.

Austin Butler Pulls off Ultimate NYC Flex Amid Zoe Kravitz Dating Rumors

was recently spotted in New York City with , with him also turning heads with his well-toned body. The actors are soon set to appear alongside each other in Caught Stealing, a crime comedy thriller film by Darren Aronofsky, which is set to premiere later this month. Austin Butler looks impressive out and about in NYC A new set of pictures featuring the Elvis actor and Zoe Kravitz in New York City was shared on social media. Posted by @deuxmoi on Instagram, the photos have subsequently received multiple reactions from fans. Both Austin Butler and Kravitz also looked exceptionally sharp in black ensembles, paired with black sunglasses. Meanwhile, fans seemed to be very excited about spotting Butler and Kravitz together. One user wrote in the comment section of this post, 'Austin and Zoe look hot.' Another fan wrote, 'Both looking hot. That tan he's been rocking him in pr hottest he's been.' Hence, it is evident that fans are very impressed with both actors, with some even stating the possibility of them dating. Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler first sparked dating rumors back in October 2024. Speculations began after they were spotted kissing on the set of their upcoming film. Since then, the pair has drawn attention to themselves in many outings. However, there was nothing spotted that could exclusively confirm that they are indeed romantically involved. Multiple sources close to the two claim that they are 'just friends,' which may as well be the simplest explanation. Some fans also spoke about this in the comments of the aforementioned Instagram post. One user wrote, 'They start promoting the film, I don't think there's anything between them, it's normal that they're in NY, he leaves his house and she leaves a hotel, someone has taken pictures of them kissing or holding hands, I think he's very happy single.' Nevertheless, as the rumors rage on, perhaps they will cease when either Austin Butler or Zoe Kravitz directly addresses them. Caught Stealing will premiere in theaters across the US on August 29, 2025. The post Austin Butler Pulls off Ultimate NYC Flex Amid Zoe Kravitz Dating Rumors appeared first on Mandatory.
