Goodman couldn't go out without a little bit of Old Vegas, and at the end of the "Town Hall" show, he was joined by two showgirls and Elvis impersonator Jesse Garron, who said he was asked recently who was more important to Las Vegas: Elvis, or Oscar Goodman? The answer is Goodman, Garron said. "And if you don't believe me," he added, "go ask him."

Here Comes The Bride & Elvis – So Valentine’s day has come and gone. So I’m late. Well, romance is making me late, you see, and I’ve got the video to prove it. It all started 14 years ago . . . so, we’re married . . . so time goes by . . . fast forward to today and we’re in Vegas (to be remarried) . . . Pulling into the drive is a beautiful pink-as-Pepto 1955, four-door, chromed-to-the-gills Cadillac Eldorado and out leaps my groomsman, my icon of the Sourt, my vision of how this memorable wedding thing is supposed to go. Gold lame coat, peg pants, blue (no bull!) shoes and hair as pompadoured as it gets – Elvis, by God, Elvis! The girls pile in and we’re rolling down the Stirp and people are hollering and pointing and taking pictures and laughing and smiling and getting us to slow down so they can rubberneck. We are bathed in surging Elvis tune and pumped . . . Elvis gives the bride away and sings and we vow to each other and light candles and exchange rings again and then the minister intones very seriously, in spite of Elvis hovering nearby . . . I can’t wait to go back.

“The King” was the king of Las Vegas throughout the early ’70s. Elvis debuted at the New Frontier in 1956, but didn’t return intil 1969, when he played the International (purchased soon after by Hilton). The trimphant comback led to Elvis’s nearly decade-long stint as the Las Vegas Hilton’s premier headliner, and he performed in 144 sold-out shows. Las Vegas is the mecca of Elvis impersonators. Jesse Garon was featured in a double page spread on pages 66-67 of the Planet Vegas book.
