" Next week, Elvis hits Las Vegas for the first time in forty years with the launch of the Elvis Experience, aka Graceland West, a curated exhibit of objects from Elvis&amp;#039;s home, concert performances, and an Elvis-themed wedding chapel at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort &amp;amp;amp; Casino. To mark the occasion, five nights a week for six weeks, Elvis re-creator Martin Fontaine\u2014basically the greatest Elvis impersonator in the world\u2014will take the same stage at the renovated Elvis Presley Theater with two dozen musicians and a choir to perform a seventy-five-minute set with no intermission. Fontaine will chronicle the King&amp;#039;s career arc from leather jackets to sequins, from the 1956 classic &amp;quot;Blue Suede Shoes&amp;quot; to 1975&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;What Now My Love?&amp;quot; To celebrate, we asked illustrator Helen Green to tell the story of Elvis&amp;#039;s musical evolution through his set list. Better yet, we dug deep into the archives and digitized Stanley Booth&amp;#039;s indispensable story from the February 1968 issue about his journey to Graceland to meet the King. It involves a hundred thousand dollars&amp;#039; worth of trucks and souped-up go-karts, Elvis as a mariachi, and lots of shaking pelvi. You might call it essential, or at least a lot of fun, like Green&amp;#039;s illustrated timeline. Read Stanley Booth&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;A Hound Dog, to the Manor Born&amp;quot; on Esquire Classics.    "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
