There’s never a bad time to visit Sin City, but June ofers an unholy trinity of temptations. First, the chance to witness the world’s largest gathering of Elvis tribute acts, who are set to descend on a resort an hour from The Strip to do battle in dance and song. All shook up? Cool down at one of Vegas’s legendary pool parties: the season is in full swing now. Finally, pay tribute to a man who loved his food during Las Vegas Restaurant Week. Eschew the King’s beloved peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwiches in favour of ixed-price menus at the city’s top spots for ine dining.
