Elvis, the Colonel and the Mob

S01E02 Episode 2

By the end of the 1960s, Elvis Presley’s star is dimming, hemmed in by forgettable films and creative stagnation. His manager, Colonel Tom Parker, envisions a Las Vegas resurgence. In 1969, Elvis dazzles at the new International Hotel, reclaiming the spotlight. Yet Parker’s hidden gambling debts and underworld ties bind them to the Strip. Elvis ascends as Vegas’s reigning icon, but offstage he unravels—plunging into addiction, suspicion, and a slow, tragic fall.
