This week, Ira spoke with Richard Zoglin, author of ELVIS IN VEGAS: How the King Reinvented the Las Vegas Show. In this 30-minute episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Zoglin talks about about the history of Las Vegas entertainment and how it evolved over the decades; the decision of Elvis to perform live in Las Vegas, which was his first time back on a live stage in more than eight years; the trend-setting impact of his show and why he saved Las Vegas entertainment, if not himself; and his legacy of Elvis in the entertainment capital.
