My sister, my best friend and myself decided to attend the Ultimate Elvis Tribute concert at Harrahs Cherokee Casino. We didn't know what to expect however we were not disappointed at all. The seven finalist were amazing. Some looked like Elvis, some sounded like him and several would have made Elvis proud. Our pick Ryan ending up winning the contest and will be representing Harrahs Cherokee in Memphis in August during Elvis week. We had such a great time that we will be attending this event next year.

Contest was amazing. However, judges need to be more "Elvis" savvy!

Despite disappointing seats, I thoroughly enjoyed all three shows. I would recommend not selling tickets in or around the sound mixer.

This was an unforgettable experience. I didn't know what to expect but these guys were fabulous. Closest you will ever get to the real life performance of Elvis Presley.

This year was super fine. My wife pick the winner the first time she heard him in the first contest. She picked three to be in the finals and she had them all correct. You may want to use her as a judge next year. Hahahahaha. We were just as please this year as we were last year and I am not even an Elvis fan, that's my wife's job. The worst thing on the final night was that 2 light bulbs burned out on the ELVIS sign. Money well spent even though the seats were to high to see the full screen.

We had a great time. So many things going on ,couldn''t get to everytime. The highlight for us was the Shawn Klush and Cody Slaughter show. Cody is the best "young Elvis" any where around, and Shawn is the ultimate package. This years competition was one of the best in the six years I.ve attended. There were at least 7 who could have done the job. But it will be very hard to beat Shawn an Cody!!!!!!!!!!

The contest was really good this year. The venue was amazing. Nice set props and audiovisual material. I was not impressed with the EAS band, especially the back ups for the artists. For EPE, is there some way to get these guys to sing different songs. Elvis recorded over 800 songs but we hear the same 15 or so over and over and over.

Was ok but most of them didn't even sing like Elvis, they sang his songs but their voice was not like his(which was amazing). And of course, no one was as handsome as Elvis, especially these guys.

What a wonderful, fun evening that paid tribute to the King --- Elvis Presley! The seven finalists were great, but didn't agree with judges' choice as the winner. Overall, it was a wonderful venue and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. I plan to attend again next year.

Show was good but seats were not. Are tickets also sold at event site? It appeared as though people were purchasing tickets the night of the event and I wondered if they were getting better seats. I have purchased tickets through Ticketmaster for Kenny Rogers and I think they are better seats.

I took my mom to this show because it happened to fall on the same day as her 69th birthday, and, being the huge Elvis fan that she is, she had a blast. :) Everyone did a great job and the casino did a great job of running the event in an orderly fashion. We had a wonderful time.

The Elvis Tribute was excellent. Very qualified and entertaining. They didn't choose the one I liked best - who I felt had the most realistic and amazing voice that resembled Elvis, but the winner was very good.

Great competition with wonderful tribute artists. It is a good place to meet the artists and a lot of other fans. Many follow these artists all year long and this is the final competition to determine who will be the Ultimate tribute artist for the entire year... it is a world-wide competition.

Very professionally done, they had a large screen drop down to the stage before each competitor performed. It had a small interview with them, asking how they became an ETA, and what their favorite Elvis song was. Very enjoyable! The performers were great. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the results. There were 3 performers who did not make the top 5, and they were very obviously the best of the best. David Lee, Gordon Hendricks, and Ted Torres should have been in the running, especially when they said they weighted the singing scores twice as much as all else. Don't know what show the judges were watching - it wasn't the same one I was! But all in all, great entertaining night!

I have attended this event for several years. This year there was a push to beat the Guinness World Record and this delayed the show by almost an hour. We could not even go to our seats...we stood for over an hour. This exercise should have been conducted earlier so that it would not interfere with the show. I will probably return next year but I am not sure.

Fantastic Show. Travis Powell was #1 and Anthony Shore was great also. This show was better than last years show. I plan to go again next year.. I wished they had given away a trip to Elvis Week. like they did last year .

The show was fantastic. I thought I had died and gone to heaven with so many ETA's Didn't agree with the judges though, they didn't pick the same person I picked. But I thought they were all good, and I give them 2 thumbs up. Would like to do it again this week if there was some where I could go!!!

This is the second time we have seen this show. The change that was made to have 10 competitors was a nice change. The performers were great. Looking forward to next year. The only issue was the confusion on the seats. It appeared some tickets were sold for the same locations. All came out fine, no matter where you sat it was a wonderful evening.

We certainly got our money's worth of entertainment. It was a surprise to us that we got to see so many top notch tribute artists in one show. Each had previously won a contest already so all were enjoyable and I am so glad I was not a judge and had to make such a hard decision as to pick the cream of the crop to go on to further competition. The theater was a good choice for the show too.

The MC was so clever when he covered up the fire alarm with his singing! The alarm was resolved by the end of his song. Before the third show, some of us were seating ourselves in the upper balcony, when we were told we had to go out. We were told we could go back after 5-10 minutes. Don't know what was up with that. But the show was really good, the venue was comfortable, the acoustics were really good. The performers were wonderful--the band was amazing.

It would seem that the judges should be knowledgeable in every aspect of Elvis. None of these judges had ANY connection to Elvis or Presley Ent. They let several outstanding Tribute Artists go by the wayside.

We enjoyed the show, and I believe the judges picked the right guy to win the contest. The important thing is keeping Elvis's memory alive, and having fun. The artists that did not win should be proud of their accomplishments, and shouldn't take the fact they did not win too seriously.

Enjoyed seeing all thecontestants but the contest is drawn out. This year, Aug 17 10AM, Aug 17 7PM, Aug. 18 7PM. Each contestant sang 3 songs, could have sang 1 or 2 and ended it 1 day sooner for those paying hotels.

If Elvis actually sang here, he would have placed 3rd or lower. The performances were great, as was the MC. The finally seemed to be very audienced swayed. I do not see the "victor" going far in Memphis. I had him 3rd out of 5 and my Elvisphile wife did not connect at all. Same as the TV talent shows. Popularity out weighs real talent. We'll see how Memphis rules. Had great seats in an great place

Contest had good singers many with big loud voices. Loud does not equal quality. If you are having an Elvis contest it would be nice if the winner sounded like Elvis. This is nothing but a popularity contest of gratuitous wiggling and shaking to the degree Elvis never did. Had nothing to do with tasteful recreation of an Elvis performance. Don't waste the money.

The Ultimate Elvis Tribute talent each year is enormously amazing at the beautiful Orpheum Theatre in Memphis. Elvis had only a short period of time on earth but his popularity is still overwhelming.
