Description

Elvis Presley 1972 Las Vegas Hilton 3:00 AM Concert Poster. An original glossy B&W casino poster advertising The King playing an "Extra Special Show by Popular Demand" at 3:00 AM on the morning of Sunday, September 2, 1972, on Labor Day weekend. Features a dynamic shot of Elvis performing on stage, and has a lot of urgency to it, with fans told to "Make Your Reservations NOW."

Best of all for collectors, this specimen comes from the person who took the poster's photograph and helped put them up all over the casino. Please see Ed Bonja's very helpful and informative Letter of Authenticity that comes with this lot.

Elvis was paid $27,500 just for this additional show. "Burning Love" was his new RCA single and was racing up the charts, where it would eventually get to #2. Everyone agrees that in 1972 Elvis was still completely on his game.

Printed on thick paper with the feeling of card stock, glossy on the front and flat mat on the back. Measures 16 1/4" x 19" and grades to a strong Very Good Plus condition. Highly glossy posters like this are magnets for surface creases, and this has a few, but none on Elvis' picture and generally harmlessly in the white. Has a very clean appearance. COA from Heritage Auctions.
