Elvis Presley make sure to be in attendance for the opening night of Nancy Sinatra's Vegas show on August 29, 1969. Elvis and Nancy had starred in the racing movie Speedway the previous year. Here's some pictures of Elvis with Frank Sinatra. Nancy joins them in the first picture, while Fred Astaire chats with them in the last picture.

    Both Sinatra and Elvis do my favorite versions of 'My Way'--although ol' Blue Eyes pretty much owns the tune. Very cool to see them together.

    Hey Rev. I do love both versions of that song. Yeah, Sinatra does own it though. Nobody does it quite like Frank.

    Nancy and Elvis were great friends...and she has always been extremely kind and respectful towards his memory. She's a classy and terrific lady.

    Thanks Jeremy. It was great hearing from you. Whenever I've have heard Nancy mention Elvis, she is very warm and positive about him.

    Love that pic. How does Elvis always look taller than everyone else in a picture with him. The 68-71 era is probably my fave Elvis period

    Have you checked the duet of Frank and Elvis doing Love Me Tender/Witchcraft - I'm sure it'll be on youtube..

    My wife would kill to have me look like Elvis, (without the burns). did you ever see the clip from when Elvis got out of the Army and was on Sinatra's show. It was very awkward for both of them, but it looks like they warmed to each other by this time.

    Hey Veronica. I agree. I like Nancy. She's talented. She didn't make it just because of who her dad is.

    Hey Robert. Thanks for the comments. I think a lot of women would kill for their men to look like the King. I did see clips from that show. I agree with you on that.

    Very cool photos. Reminds me of that old Marvel comic Team-Up, with the wild assortment of disparate celebrities getting together. Perhaps there were some tasty cocktails for everyone.

    I attended the party as the Las Vegas correspondent for Associated Press at the time. My date, who had just arrived in Las Vegas, was blown away. There were so many celebrities I remember Sergio Mendez of Brazil 66 having to sit on the floor!
