Notes: This is the last concert where Elvis sang "I Just Can't Help Believin".

Concert: This show stands out as one of the best from this Vegas season which had its ups and downs. Without any doubt Elvis was in high spirits at this special opening night and the result is really o.k. He tries his best to please the crowd and even includes the rare I Just Can`t Help Believing which he had sung some 5 years ago for the last time. A top notch show with many highlights and an excellent setlist. So lean back and enjoy over 100 minutes of Elvis entertainment pure ! (Ciscoking)
