  • If you want to elope to Las Vegas and have Elvis marry you, you'd better hurry. 
  • The company in charge of Elvis' name, image, and likeness is cracking down on chapels that feature impersonators of the King. 
  • Authentic Brands Group sent cease and desist letters to several Vegas venues last month, ordering them to stop the Elvis weddings. 
  • Some of the chapel owners fear the move will wreck their businesses. 
  • The wedding industry is worth $2 billion in Vegas. Elvis-themed weddings are a significant part of that rake.
