About this audio guide
This guide to Planet Hollywood Las Vegas Resort & Casino starts at nine in the morning in a private suite here in 1967, when a terrified Elvis Presley called out for his father moments before marrying Priscilla Beaulieu, back when this hotel was the Aladdin. You'll hear about the six-tier cake and rhinestone crown at the reception that followed, then follow the Aladdin's later collapse into a federal hidden-ownership case and its 1998 implosion. Picture that quiet upstairs suite as you walk the casino floor below.
