LAS VEGAS — The King will not appear at Elvis Presley’s Graceland Wedding Chapel that’s coming soon to Las Vegas — exactly how Priscilla Presley wants it.

The woman who wed Elvis in 1967 made one thing clear before unveiling the latest wedding chapel to bear his name: No impersonators.

Priscilla Presley has been involved in the look and feel of the chapel that officials say is part of the first permanent Graceland exhibit of the singer’s artifacts outside his iconic Memphis, Tennessee, home.

The exhibition opens April 23 at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino. Plus, one lucky couple will get a Presley in their wedding party opening day.

Priscilla Presley says she’ll attend the nuptials of the couple that wins a contest announced by NBC’s “Today” show Monday.
