The topic "Elvis and Las Vegas" has always fascinated the fans. So "Praytome Publishing" decided, after the success of "Elvis - Behind The Image" Vol. 1 & 2 to attend to that topic. After the release of "That's The Way It Is - Special Edition" in 2001, the team was disappointed, that the fan doesn't get any background information in the included "Making Of".. Although a lot of the people involved in the shootings, would have been available you have to miss background information on the original production and the period of 1970. We wanted to keep the interview part for the "Behind The Image" - series and the documentary should be more about the events of the year 1970 instead of Elvis, so we decided to create a new different format.

Leading Elvis experts from all over the world were contacted to take part in this dream project "Elvis In Las Vegas". The team was supplemented by the mega-collectors Jürgen Keilwerth & Sören Szameitat (Germany) as well as Andylon Lensen (Netherlands). Developing the concept it was decided to supplement the whole documentary with unreleased first class Super8 Material, again.

Searching the whole world for adequate footage we found what we were looking for in France. The fanclub president, mega-collector and Super8 shooter over years Jean-Marc Gargiulo was contacted, whose travels to Las Vegas and the recordings he made there had caused a sensation in the fan scene already years ago. In April 2004 there was a secret meeting in Paris, because it was obvious that the "Behind The Image Team" wanted to have the original reels to ensure the best possible quality of the finished production. The topic Las Vegas is really close to Jean-Marc's heart, so he was quickly amazed by the concept and agreed to participate at the project. It was clear that this new production would also be for the international fan scene so Bud Glass took a part of the research work, writing the script and recording the audio comment in English. In the meantime it was worked on the project on two several continents and in four different countries. A part of the crew went to Munich to deal with the digital transfer

and the restoration of the material in the famous Bavaria Film Studios. Because we didn't want to fall below the quality standard we set with "Behind The Image". In despite of the cost-intensive and complex preparatory work to this project the production time was very low. Due to the fact that certain features are reserved for the "Behind The Image" - series (i.e. interviews) there was a saving of expenses we wanted to give to the dealers and costumers in the same relation. With 88 minutes (standard 50-60 minutes) remained at the leading position concerning the price/performance ratio and continued on the once chosen way, to offer the fan material and information in never before seen quality to unbeatable prices.
