Elvis Presley’s Graceland In Feud Over ‘The King’s’ Memorabilia

Holly Feed

Westgate Las Vegas Resort closed down an exhibit dedicated to Elvis Presley, and Elvis Presley Enterprises is less than thrilled.

In a statement sent to the Review-Journal, Elvis Presley Enterprises said on February 26, 2016 Westgate seized, “without any legitimate legal basis,” hundreds of Elvis artifacts on loan to the exhibition from the Graceland Archives.

The following week, Elvis Presley Enterprises through its representative David Beckwith told Vegas DeLuxe, “The Presley family is an aggrieved party caught in the middle of a disagreement between two other parties.”

At this time Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley are in the middle of this ongoing feud between Westgate Las Vegas executives and its tenants who are licensees of Elvis Presley Enterprises. 

At this point the Presley family would like all memorabilia returned to Graceland where his legacy and artifacts will be maintained properly.

We hope the family and Elvis Presley Enterprises is able to resolve the issue soon, and that ‘The King’s’ artifacts remain intact. 

To remember “The King” of rock n’ roll watch the color video for one of his signature hits, “Jailhouse Rock” below.
