Who better to re-open the beautiful Renaissance Theatre than the King himself? Well, at least as close as we can get with the incredible Chance Tinder’s Salute to Elvis Presley! Chance has been a part of the Elvis Presley phenomenon since the late 1980s as both himself and as Elvis and is an alumnus of the award winning Las Vegas celebrity look-alike production shows, Legends In Concert, American Superstars and Showstoppers Live! His secret to a great Elvis tribute: “It’s about believing that it is not so much the voice that’s most important, but knowing how to become the man himself on that stage. It’s all about the attitude of Elvis – shy but confident – he always knew exactly what he was doing.” Through all of his experiences in show business, none has given Chance more gratification and fulfillment than paying tribute to the legendary King Of Rock ‘n Roll, Elvis Presley!
