Licensing company that controls the name and image of “The King” orders Las Vegas chapel operators to stop using Elvis in themed ceremonies.

“It might destroy a portion of our wedding industry. A number of people might lose their livelihood,” Goya said.

Graceland Wedding Chapel, which performs 6,400 Elvis-themed weddings per year, has not been served a warning yet, according to manager Rod Musum.The licensing company oversees the estates of big names like movie star Marilyn Monroe and boxer Muhammad Ali and 50 consumer brands. The order should not translate into legal action against Elvis-themed stage shows in Las Vegas such as “All Shook Up” because impersonating someone for live performances such as shows is considered an exception under Nevada’s right of publicity law, according to Mark Tratos, a local attorney who helped write the statute.

Well you are burring him up more then cause not too many places have him in mind for anything anymore and we are all forgetting about him

Elvis has left the building! 😉

Oh, good grief. Elvis is a brand now, like Kleenex.

But no Vegas wedding is complete without an Elvis licensed by the state of Nevada

Soon to be followed by licensing agreements. Everybody has to get a piece of the pie.

Yes, focus on that instead of the human trafficking in Las Vegas XD XD XD XD
