Las Vegas chapels of love that use Elvis Presley's likeness could find themselves becoming Heartbreak Hotels.
The licensing company that controls the name and image of "The King" is ordering Sin City chapel operators to stop using Elvis in themed ceremonies, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported on Monday. Authentic Brands Group sent cease-and-desist letters in early May to multiple chapels, which are expected to be compliant by now.
With Elvis so closely tied to Vegas' wedding industry, some say the move could decimate their businesses.

I got married in Vegas at a chapel but I never wanted to get married in a Cheesy Elvis Chapel.

The Elvis brand folks better be careful or they'll limit themselves out of existence. Once the boomers are all gone, are there enough people left who would or could care about Elvis enough to sustain the brand? I'm Gen X and we aren't exactly fawning over the guy. I'm sure those numbers are even fewer in the younger generations.
