Elvis Presley Memorabilia: Extremely rare original International Las Vegas Nevada ashtray. This ashtray with gold International insignia and the words International Las Vegas Nevada in gold letters would have been on the tables in the International Hotel when Elvis performed on stage, between 1969-70. What makes this a very rare piece is that the International Hotel in Las Vegas Nevada name would only last for a few years and later became the Las Vegas Hilton. Elvis was asked to perform for the opening shows, but the Colonel was against the idea in case there were technical problems as it was a new hotel, Elvis would perform shortly afterwards. In 1969 Elvis performed for 58 consecutive sold out shows, breaking all Vegas attendance records and then went on to break his own record in February 1970, August 1970 and August 1972.
