Notes: As with all shows of the winter season in Las Vegas, Elvis did not enter the stage for the midnight show until 1 am on December 12. The preliminary program started around midnight. So we continue to list the show on December 11th, 1976

Concert: One of the best shows from this Vegas season, perhaps the best. Elvis was vocally at his best with sparkling humour which let the audience die for laughing. He enjoyed his time on stage and the songs were performed in a very professional manner. A magnificent show! A very fine selection of bonus songs!
