Las Vegas, NV. September 1st 1974 midnight show. These are photographs of the " Black Spanish Flowers with red stones " jumpsuit, this one has been rarely worn by Elvis and equally not known if he used it at previous engagements during the same year, or even in 1973 as the " White Spanish Flowers " suit was from the aforementioned year.

This concert was somewhat pretty similar to the ones Elvis gave during the last few days of this engagement in Vegas. At that time there were rumors that he missed two appearances the previous week because of a drug problems. He was furious and brandished on stage (bottom right) a certificate from the International Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association that he had just been presented backstage.

A second and different " Black Spanish Flowers " jumpsuit was also worn by Elvis during that Vegas stint, this is a similar design but that one has   turquoise stones instead of red ones.
