Westgate Las Vegas Unveils The Imperial Sky Villa: A Regal Homage to Elvis's Legacy
Las Vegas, a city built on legend and allure, is once again paying tribute to one of its most iconic figures. As part of its "Year of Elvis" celebration, commemorating what would have been his 90th birthday, Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino has proudly reintroduced its most exclusive accommodation: the Imperial Sky Villa. This meticulously reimagined space, spanning an impressive 13,200 square feet, offers guests a direct connection to the enduring legacy of Elvis Presley, having once served as his personal Las Vegas residence.
From Tuscany to Imperial: A Suite Steeped in History
Formerly recognized as the Tuscany Sky Villa, the transformation into the Imperial Sky Villa is far more than a mere renaming; it is a profound revival of a living piece of Las Vegas history. Originally constructed atop the hotel when it first opened its doors in 1969, this particular area housed Elvis's private suite, affectionately known as the "Elvis Presley Suite." This very space cradled his bed during his monumental Vegas residencies, cementing its status as a landmark for fans and admirers of the King of Rock and Roll.
The Imperial Sky Villa, part of the iconic Sky Villas originally built in 1995 for an astounding $60 million (equivalent to $126 million in today's currency), now masterfully blends grand design with a deep reverence for Elvis Presley. Guests are invited to quite literally walk in his footsteps, enveloped by a curated visual homage. Elegant plaques throughout the villa recount the narrative of his remarkable Las Vegas years, from his inaugural performance at the International Hotel in 1969 to his legendary "Aloha from Hawaii" press conference.
Unparalleled Luxury with a Panoramic View
Inside, the Imperial Sky Villa presents an unparalleled experience of luxury living. The expansive accommodation boasts multiple bedrooms, generous living, and dining areas designed for sophisticated entertaining, and spa-inspired bathrooms that exude timeless elegance. Guests can immerse themselves in panoramic views of the glittering city skyline—a subtle yet profound nod to the famed Skyroom Lounge, later known as the Crown Room, which once drew the global elite with its exclusive amenities and breathtaking vistas of Las Vegas.
Cami Christensen, President and General Manager of Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino, articulates the villa's significance:
"The Imperial Sky Villa represents more than just a spectacular retreat—it's a genuine connection to the magic that made Elvis Presley a global icon.”

She continued: "Guests are truly standing where the footsteps of the King once reigned, immersed in his spirit and legacy. At Westgate, we're proud to continue setting the standard for legendary experiences where luxury and history intersect."
