One of the happy-tacky staples of Las Vegas commerce and culture, the Elvis Presley-themed weddings performed in the resort city’s chapels, is facing a legal shutdown from the company that holds the licensing rights to the King of Rock & Roll’s image.
What Happened: The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that Authentic Brands Group (ABG), which licenses Presley-related merchandise, issued cease-and-desist orders to several Las Vegas chapels threatening legal action if they continue to use “Elvis Presley’s name, likeness, voice image, and other elements of Elvis Presley’s persona in advertisements, merchandise, and otherwise.”
