Elvis-A-Rama
Personal possessions like his 1955 concert limo are complemented by stage costumes

Located between the Fashion Show Mall and the I-15 interstate, but a little too far from the Strip for walking to be advisable (free shuttle buses operate on demand), the Elvis-A-Rama museum contains just enough Presley memorabilia to satisfy avid fans of the King.

Personal possessions like his 1955 concert limo (bought with his $5000 bonus for signing with RCA, and now worth an estimated $340,000) are complemented by stage costumes, movie posters, and mass-produced souvenirs such as lipsticks and keyrings, billfolds and bubble-gum cards. A gift store sells irresistible examples of contemporary Elvis tat.

While it can't match the scale, sheer obsessiveness, or intimate personal connection, of the Liberace Museum, Elvis-A-Rama does at least justify its stiff price tag by throwing in hourly live impersonator shows on its small stage, featuring the sneering teenage Justin Shandor.
