The King's Castle: Open to the Public?
The answer, unfortunately for your inner fan, is a decidedly un-blue suede shoes no. The legendary suite Elvis occupied at the Westgate Las Vegas (formerly the International Hotel) is no longer a place for pilgrimages by the peanut butter and banana sandwich-wielding faithful.
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Why the Shut Down? There are a few reasons why the suite isn't open for public tours. Security concerns are one – imagine the throngs of overzealous fans itching to swipe a rhinestone from a throw pillow. Additionally, since the suite has been converted into separate luxury villas, a peek inside would mean bothering whoever's currently paying a small fortune to live like the King (without the whole, you know, leaving the building thing).
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
