ELVIS PRESLEY:
I''ve been fortunate to visit Vegas,
Twice within the past eight years.
The first time was with a tour to se Danny Boy,
Which certainly brought some cheer.
We stopped at the Mone Carlo Hotel,
Very grand I may say.
What happened at the concert ,
Certainly made my day.
Daniel mentioned our group to the audience,
Asked us to stand to be seen.
He pointed at me and said "There's Yvonne Lewis",
On my face was an enormous beam.
The second time I visited there,
We stopped at the Hotel Flamingo.
It was the same hotel in the film
Of the above song if you'll forgive the lingo.
Me in the grounds of The Flamingo
The hotel complete with Flamingo's
Ceaser's Palace:
I certainly enjoyed both times in Vegas.
With wonderful memories to recall.
I'd love to return there again some day.
Yes! I certainly had a ball.
Elvis sure knew how to put on a show and bring forth memories
