LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Thousands of dancers broke out into a flash mob at the Westgate Las Vegas to celebrate the legacy of Elvis Presley.
To mark the 55th anniversary of the iconic venue where Elvis captivated audiences with 636 consecutive sold-out shows, the event brought fans together to pay homage to The King himself. The flash mob showcased a dynamic medley of two beloved Elvis classics, “CC Rider” and “Viva Las Vegas,” in celebration of the Vegas Dance Explosion’s 25th Silver Anniversary.
The songs were brought to life with a live performance by Images of the King World Champion Ted Torres Martin, the star of Westgate’s new Elvis show, The King Comes Home.
