Elvis Niagara Falls: A Tribute to the Legend

Reading Time:  4 minutes -

Elvis Niagara Falls
Historically Niagara Falls has always been a town that saluted Elvis, right back to the days of the Elvis Museum at Clifton Hill’s former Maple Leaf Village (a former amusement park and entertainment complex that opened in 1979 and shut its doors in the early 1990’s). Currently, Casino Niagara now stands where the Maple Leaf Village once stood. The Elvis Museum featured a red and black 1967 Cadillac Coupe de Ville that was used during Elvis and Priscilla’s honeymoon in May of 1967. In 1975, Elvis put on a concert a couple of years before his death on July 13th, 1975 in Niagara Falls, NY. Today, Elvis Niagara Falls still lives on in various tributes in the next few weeks!
