Harvey and Mike saw Elvis' Show at the Hilton in 1969 or 1970 and said that it was fantastic.  It was a dinner-show and it brought a moneyed-crowd, people from all over the World came to see Elvis.  Just being able to get-in was a big thing, Mike's uncle was the manager of one of the Hilton's restaurants and the best he could do for Mike, his sister, and his parents, was to get them Reservations, there was certainly no Comp or Price-Reduction.  And there was a huge trickle-down effect, as this Crowd gambled and spent a lot, even the Show-Room Waiters made big-money.  Harvey said that Elvis swivelled his hips saying ...I'd like to see (Tom) Jones do that...
