Why did Elvis stay in Vegas?
Probably the main reason Elvis Presley went to Las Vegas is because he had not toured extensively since 1957, a 12 year difference (1969) and he simply didn't have the infrastructure in place required to tour at the time. This would include sound equipment, lighting, travel accommodations, stage wardrobe.
