Simon Vega first met Elvis in March 1958 at Fort Hood while they were completing Army basic training. They began Army buddies when they were both posted to Freidburg, Germany in August 1958.
Later Vega created an Elvis Museum in his house that contains a large collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia, including photos, posters, watches, and more.

Since August 1993, Simon Vega has held the annual Elvis Festival. Simon now with the assistance of the Los Fresnos Area Chamber of Commerce and the City of Los Fresnos holds two annual festivals, one in August for the memorial of Elvis and a Party in January for the King's Birthday. The festivities include: live music, food and beverages, look-a-like contest, sing-a-like contest, car shows, trivia questions, museum tours, and fun for the family. The highlight of the festivities is the World Class impersonators that come from all around to perform the Elvis hits on stage, which give the festival its proud tradition of celebration.

Little Graceland is open Thursday to Sunday from 10am to noon and 2pm to 5pm. Donations accepted.
Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
