At first I thought "Ooh Las Vegas" might win an award for being the most stupid name of an album ever, but then I remembered that it was a song by Gram Parsons, recorded in 1973. As the title suggests it's a song about Sin City, but even more important is, that Parsons was accompanied by James Burton, Glen Hardin, Ronnie Tutt and Emory Gordy. In that very year they all were part of the Presley band, so "Ooh Las Vegas" turns out to be a clever name for an album with a recording made in Vegas in 1973.

The set was released in December 2024 by Millbranch Music and includes a cd as well as a dvd. It features a very good sounding audience recording of the king's midnight show on February 11, 1973. Besides that we get to see various 8mm films, made by fans between February 10th and 20th. There's also clips of "An American Trilogy", "Ooh Vegas" and "Sunburst Elvis" (all featuring 8mm fan footage) as well as a short documentary about the stint. The data carriers are housed in a fold-out digi-pak. Since this release was issued by a collector's label, the audio is not available on the streaming platforms.
