The King's Ransom: Elvis Presley Museum
Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, is the single most popular entertainment icon in the world. With new recordings still being released on a regular basis, as well as Elvis references and music appearing in some of Hollywood's biggest films, it is evident that the Elvis phenomenon will go on indefinitely.
A new generation has embraced his music, re-mixed it and made it their own. People of all ages are drawn to his Graceland home, longing to get a peek inside the man behind the image, by seeing the clothes he wore, the cars he drove, and the items he owned.
We have now made available to fans around the world, the ultimate Elvis exhibition: THE KING'S RANSOM MUSEUM - an up-close and personal traveling exhibit of 100% authentic Elvis-owned items.
This impressive multi-million dollar museum is one of the largest privately owned collections of actual Elvis treasures outside Graceland. The collection has been exhibited around the world, from Las Vegas, to Memphis to Dallas and Berlin.

Reviews & Testimonials
The King's Ransom unlocks the door to the real Elvis Presley. The father, the lover, the rock 'n' roll superstar and a very enigmatic individual are all unveiled in this unique collection.
In my research, I have been fortunate to have viewed Elvis Presley's private inventory remaining in Memphis, but the King's Ransom always excites me as an ever-evolving exhibit of Elvis' personal items gathered by two expert archivists. It features many key historical items that fans would be overwhelmed to see, within an outstanding collection that reveals a wealth of information about Elvis Presley.
We soon realize that there is still so much to learn about the real man behind the image.
On October 20th I had the unique opportunity to accompany my sister Linda in viewing "The King's Ransom" at the Imperial Palace here in Las Vegas. We were so impressed with the quality of the items and the size of the exhibit, all displayed very professionally and tastefully.
Thank you, Russ Howe and Bud Glass, for keeping the positive memory of Elvis alive here in Las Vegas!
I can attest to the fact that the King's Ransom Museum in Vegas is one of the most authentic Elvis memorabilia Museum ever. I know that the owners and creators Russ Howe and Bud Glass are diligent and avid Elvis fans and that they have taken great measures to obtain real and authentic Elvis memorabilia unlike a number of the fake, fly by night previous projects that pop up every now and then.
I wholeheartedly recommend fans to visit the Museum whenever they're in or close by to Vegas.
I had the privilege of viewing “The King’s Ransom” exhibit when Bud Glass and Russ Howe had it on display in Berlin, Germany. I, along with Sonny West, The Sweet Inspirations and Bud and Russ were participants in a huge Elvis celebration there. I was not prepared to see the incredible collection so lovingly and respectfully presented. The extent of the collection is just unbelievable.
“The King’s Ransom” is a must see for every Elvis fan and for anyone who might be even mildly curious about the greatest entertainer the world has ever known. I am proud to endorse this remarkable exhibit and Bud Glass and Russ Howe. Keep on Rockin’ boys! And thanks for giving the world “The King’s Ransom”.
“The King’s Ransom” is very exciting. These are things that have not been seen before. You have wonderful stories documenting the items. This is a great collection! I had a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly.
What wonderful memories of the King. The Kings Ransom Museum was a pure delight! It was really great seeing all of the wonderful things that you were able to find for the museum. I can remember seeing Elvis either wearing a certain shirt or piece of jewelry, or carrying a personal items that The Kings Ransom had on display. Although there were some sad feelings to see these wonderful items, it also reminded of all of the wonderful and happy times that we all had together at Graceland, and on the road.
Thank you for so lovingly bringing these memories back by displaying them in your museum. I truly enjoyed being there. Thank you for inviting me to The Kings Ransom Museum.
For me, viewing The King's Ransom collection here in Berlin has been like a stroll down memory lane. It really brought back great memories of a fantastic period of my life - knowing and working with the King Of Rock-n-Roll - Elvis Presley.
No one should miss seeing this great collection of Elvis Memorabilia and historical documentation which is so wonderfully presented.
"The Kings Ransom" is worth a Kings Ransom. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and especially the chance to meet Jimmy Velvet.
The next time you visit Las Vegas, make it one of your priority destinations.
I’m here in Memphis, looking at “The King’s Ransom” and I’ve been totally BLOWN AWAY! This display is just second to Graceland. I am finding it hard to put into words just how excited I am to see this personal collection. It is absolutely outstanding, fascinating and just perfect.
It’s a “must see” it if you get the chance. These guys are the best and their collection is the best!
