What can be expected at the new Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino? Guests can look forward to nothing but rich history, the traces of legendary performers and above all – a place where everyone will be treated like a high roller. “We may not be the newest resort in Las Vegas,” David Siegel said, “but we will be the friendliest.”

A Rich History The Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino originally opened as the International Hotel on July 2, 1969 and, at the time, was the largest hotel and casino in the world. It had 1,568 rooms, a 30,000- square-foot casino and 50,000 square feet of meeting space. With 350,000 gallons of water in the pool, the pool was considered the largest body of water in southern Nevada. The hotel was known as the Las Vegas Hilton from March of 1971 through 2012. When Westgate purchased the hotel in 2014, it became, and will remain as, the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Siegel’s love for Las Vegas and family ties to the city make the purchase of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino a defining moment in his career. “My father and my mother came to Las Vegas about twice a month for over 50 years,” said Siegel. The hotel will honor Siegel’s father, Sid, by the opening of a new

coffee shop: Sid’s Café. His parents were married in the city and were featured in a full page spread in the Las Vegas Sun when they celebrated their 50th anniversary in Vegas. “Bill Briare, the mayor at the time, gave them the key to the city,” says Siegel about his parents. It’s fitting that the Siegels were given the key to the city, as their son now plans to make his newest hotel the home of entertainment and luxury in Las Vegas. Remembering when Siegel first stayed in the hotel in 1970 with his parents he says, “Ironically, I couldn’t afford it then, but now almost 45 years later I’ve bought the hotel.” History has come full circle.

The Handprint of Rock Stars When Siegel first stayed in the hotel in 1970 it was in its full glory. Barbra Streisand performed an exclusive black tie event in the showroom for the grand opening of the hotel on July 2, 1969. The hotel will always be remembered for its iconic performers and entertainment. From the opening of the hotel in 1969, the hotel became home to superstars like Liberace, Barry Manilow, Wayne Newton and none other than The King himself – Elvis Presley. The King debuted his first performance at the hotel on July 31, 1969. Elvis Presley made the hotel famous during his reign in the late 60s and early 70s. One in two

people that visited Las Vegas during the months he performed saw Elvis sing at the hotel. More people saw Elvis perform at the hotel than anywhere else in the world, making the resort a historic landmark. He performed 837 consecutive sold-out shows and his music touched over 2.5 million people during the seven years he performed there. In the Lobby of the resort, a life-size bronze statue of Elvis Presley pays tribute to The King. Elvis and his wife Pricilla stayed at the hotel so frequently that they called the property home and enjoyed all the luxurious amenities. They frequently threw parties in their room. Elvis was known for inviting guests to his suite after concerts. Friends and fans would hang out with Elvis while he sang for them in a private setting. Elvis Presley’s handprint has been forever imprinted on the hotel and the hotel made Elvis synonymous with Las Vegas. As a tribute to the King, Trent Carlini performs nightly shows in the Shimmer Cabaret. “The King” is a tribute performance that pays sincere homage to the life of Elvis. Carlini is the winner of ABC’s “The Next Big Thing” and is nationally recognized as the best Elvis tribute artist in Las Vegas. Journey through Elvis’ career and enjoy over 25 hits like “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” and “Blue Suede Shoes”. It’s truly a remarkable and moving performance that you won’t want to miss! After Elvis’ reign, the showroom hosted an amazing and diverse array of headliners for decades. Stars included: Bill Cosby, Tom Jones, Liberace, Tony Bennett, Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Redd Foxx, Paul Anka, Earth Wind & Fire and Barry Manilow. Thanks to these
