For many of the Las Vegas Hilton concerts, he had these paper envelopes created and filled them with souvenirs from the current show but also from whatever supply of ephemera he had left from previous concerts. There was also probably an RCA calender originally included, but this assemblage is a perfect representation of these efforts, for which fans paid the princely sum of “$3.00”. Included:

• “ELVIS Special Souvenir Package” Green Envelope – printed with the dates “December 2nd thru 15th-1975”;
