Licensing company orders Las Vegas chapels to stop Elvis-themed weddings

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas chapels of love that use Elvis Presley's likeness could find themselves becoming Heartbreak Hotels.

With Elvis so closely tied to Vegas' wedding industry, some say the move could decimate their businesses. The city's wedding industry generates $2 billion a year, and officials say Elvis-themed weddings represent a significant number of the ceremonies performed. Graceland Wedding Chapel, which performs 6,400 Elvis-themed weddings per year, has not been served a warning yet, according to manager Rod Musum.

"We are seeking to partner with each of these small businesses to ensure that their use of Elvis' name, image and likeness are officially licensed and authorized by the estate, so they can continue their operations," Authentic Brands Group said."Elvis is embedded into the fabric of Las Vegas history."

"An Elvis show is a performer essentially entertaining others by re-creating that person onstage," Tratos said.
