His career had gone sour—bad movies, mediocre pop songs that no longer made the charts—and he’d been dismissed by most critics as over-the-hill. But in Vegas he played the biggest showroom in the biggest hotel in the city, drawing more people for his four-week engagement than any other show in Vegas history. His performance got rave reviews; “Suspicious Minds,” the song he introduced there, gave him his first number-one hit in seven years; and Elvis became Vegas’s biggest star. Over the next seven years, he performed more than 600 shows there, and sold out every one.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLas Vegas was changed, too. By the end of the ‘60s, Vegas’ golden age—when the Rat Pack led a glittering array of stars who made it the nation’s premier live-entertainment center—was losing its luster. Elvis created a new kind of Vegas show: an over-the-top, rock-concert extravaganza. He set a new bar for Vegas performers, with the biggest salary, the biggest musical production, and the biggest promotion campaign the city had ever seen. He opened the door to a new generation of pop\/rock artists and brought a new audience to Vegas—not the traditional well-heeled older gamblers, but a mass audience from Middle America that Vegas depends on for its success to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt once “a fascinating history of Vegas as gambling capital, celebrity playground, mob hangout, [and] entertainment Valhalla” (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eRolling Stone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e) and the incredible “tale of how the King got his groove back” (Associated Press), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eElvis in Vegas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis a classic feel-good story for the ages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Twisted Pages TX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43099640135785,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/0216\/0745\/files\/image_3b10b321-0347-4e61-bed8-51d5d410b372.jpg?v=1775332887"},{"product_id":"hip-hop-is-history","title":"Hip-Hop Is History","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"titleblock_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"titleblock\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"titleblock\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"titleblock_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0374614075\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"6fbv61-ilardk-9f6yow-lys0q4\" data-cel-widget=\"titleblock_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"t2y3tu-l0ppkz-wfi7ew-9lvouj\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\"\u003eHip-Hop Is History \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productSubtitle\" class=\"a-size-medium a-color-secondary celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"ql3439-cw4izs-u971vu-2u7uiz\" data-cel-widget=\"productSubtitle\"\u003eHardcover – June 11, 2024 \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bylineInfo_feature_div\" class=\"celwidget\" data-feature-name=\"bylineInfo\" data-csa-c-type=\"widget\" data-csa-c-content-id=\"bylineInfo\" data-csa-c-slot-id=\"bylineInfo_feature_div\" data-csa-c-asin=\"0374614075\" data-csa-c-is-in-initial-active-row=\"false\" data-csa-c-id=\"lhrnk7-vptl81-ot0zzp-fvsywu\" data-cel-widget=\"bylineInfo_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"bylineInfo\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\" data-cel-widget=\"bylineInfo\"\u003eby \u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Questlove\/e\/B00F01Z80Q\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1\"\u003eQuestlove\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Ben-Greenman\/e\/B001HPXOKA\/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_2\"\u003eBen Greenman\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\" data-cel-widget=\"bylineInfo\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-section a-spacing-micro bylineHidden feature\" data-cel-widget=\"bylineInfo\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThis is a book only Questlove could have written: a perceptive and personal reflection on the first half-century of hip-hop.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen hip-hop first emerged in the 1970s, it wasn’t expected to become the cultural force it is today.
