Attributed to Elvis Presley—an enameled security badge from the Flamingo Hilton Hotel in Las Vegas, approximately 2˝ x 2.75˝, marked as number "114." In fine condition. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the original recipient, in part: "I am…a huge Elvis fan who attended one of his shows at the Las Vegas Hilton in August of 1974. Red West who was employed by Elvis selected me and my girlfriend as we waited in line for the midnight show. West moved us to the VIP line and would be seated in Elvis' booth that ringed the stage. Afterwards we would attend a party in Elvis' suite on the 30th floor. I was in a trance as I stood in the living room of Elvis's suite. As we waited we were then told the shocking news that Elvis was not feeling well and would not make appearance. I started to cry and West saw this removing a badge from his jacket breast pocket and handed me this Las Vegas Flamingo Hotel #114. West told me it was given to Elvis the night before and Elvis then handed it to him for safe keeping. This is the badge that once belonged to Elvis and given me by Red West."
