Early Elvis at the Isle

By Nick Sortal

10:57 a.m. EST, December 13, 2012

There are Elvis impersonators, and then there are Elvis impersonators who specialize.

Travis LeDoyt, one of the latter, will perform at the Isle Casino and Racing at 8 p.m. Friday.

LeDoyt, whose show is titled “Christmas With the King,” centers on Presley’s 1954-’59 career, before that whole Las Vegas jumpsuit thing. Think “Jailhouse Rock” and “Hound Dog.”

Tickets cost $25.

The casino is at 1800 SW Third St. Call 954-972-2000 or go to Pompano-Park.IsleofCapriCasinos.com.

Maybe you've made the right play, maybe you haven't. Your heart speeds up, your stomach rumbles. That's why it's called gambling. Action is a sure bet, offering a view of the numbers, the psychology and the flavor of gambling here in South Florida, through our lens.

Nick Sortal began playing 3-card "gut" and "Indian poker" on high school band trips, moved on to "night baseball" and "pass the trash" during a Dr Pepper-infused midnight game in the 1980s at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, and now play in a regular neighborhood hold 'em game in Plantation. He's been writing about gambling life in South Florida casinos since 2007, which means sitting around watching poker on TV counts as research.
