Dick’s Last Resort hosts its first Elvis contest at Marina City

6-Jan-09 – If Elvis Presley was still alive, he’d be 73 years old on Thursday. Dick’s Last Resort is celebrating with an Elvis impersonation contest.

The Marina City restaurant/bar is giving $500 to the best Elvis impersonator. It’s an annual event for Dick’s, but its first since moving to Marina City last October. (Left) Presley, post-Army years, pre-jelly-donut years
