Elvis-A-Rama Museum
The Elvis-A-Rama Museum in Paradise, Nevada was a large private collection of Elvis memorabilia owned by Chris Davidson which featured an 85-foot-long (26 m) mural about Elvis' life and career. The museum opened on November 5, 1999, and showcased more than $5,000,000 worth of Elvis' vehicles, jumpsuits, guitars and other memorabilia. The museum was housed in an 8,200 sq ft (760 m²) building that contained the museum, 100 person showroom and extensive gift shop. All the showcases of Elvis's belongings were enhanced with murals by renowned artist Robert Emerald Shappy. Over thirty paintings were created by Shappy for both the museums in Nevada. The artwork was valued by Davison at $250,000. A break-in occurred at the museum on March 17, 2004 with almost $300,000 worth of memorabilia stolen including Elvis' jewelry and a .38 special handgun. The stolen items were recovered on November 3, 2005 with the assistance of Duke Adams, an Elvis impersonator who was approached by, Eliab Aguilar, who was subsequently arrested by Las Vegas Metro for the robbery. The museum was located at 3401 Industrial Road.

(November 15, 2005, 12:00 am)Not being an expert in the Elvis department, I cannot say if the place would appeal to the hardcore fans but as a normal person I thought this place was fun and entertaining. I wanted to see Elvis-a-rama eversince I moved here. But after seeing a bunch of Elvi I thought I've seen enough...until I came here. There are so many things and it's truly vintage Las Vegas.

(September 6, 2005, 12:00 am)This museum, of course dedicated to Elvis, is somewhat small but does have an extensive collection of memorabilia. There are several cars and costumes that Elvis owned as well as many other records, tickets, photos, etc. There are free Elvis impersonator shows every so often and a gift shop. I think the admission price is a bit high but if you really love Elvis you would enjoy the museum. There are some videos playing inside the museum showing clips from his movies as well. I would estimate that I spent about 1-2 hours there.
