Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.

Las Vegas and I both grew up together, and all of a sudden I was doing things that no performer had ever done before.

Sure, I've been a victim, but in retrospect, most of it has been of my own making. I allowed it to happen.

I miss the personalization that Vegas was - there were showroom captains and all the dealers knew the gamblers by their first names.

When I first met Elvis, we had so much in common and became fast friends.
