The Frontier Hotel, where Elvis made his Las Vegas debut in 1956, may soon disappear from the Las Vegas Strip. Real Estate Investment Group Elad Properties are rumoured to be making an announcement any time about their purchase of the hotel. The current owner Phil Ruffin has previously turned down offers of $20 million on the site, but this new deal is rumoured as being up to $1.5 billion.

In 1942, the Hotel Last Frontier was the second hotel to open on the Las Vegas Strip. In April 1955 it was remodelled and renamed the New Frontier with a space age décor that reflected the atomic era of the fifties and, the following year, Elvis made his debut there billed as "The Atomic Powered Singer".

Da bin ich jetzt überrascht. Ich hätte gewettet, dass das Frontier schon längst abgerissen wurde. In Las Vegas wurde und wird so viel gesprengt, da verliert man leicht den Überblick. Bin mal gespannt, wie lange das Hilton noch steht. Das Gebäude geht ja auch schon stramm auf die 40 zu.
