Elvis Presley's legacy lives on in redesigned suite at Westgate Las Vegas
Formerly known as the Tuscany Sky Villa, the 13,200-square-foot Imperial Sky Villa now is an homage to Presley with artwork and photos as well as plaques that tell of his first performance at the property in 1969 (at what was then the International Hotel) and other career highlights.
The villa boasts lavish bedrooms that sleep as many as 10 guests, large living and dining areas for entertaining and views of the city's skyline.

The relaunch is part of the resort's celebration of what would have been Presley's 90th birthday this year.
"The Imperial Sky Villa represents more than just a spectacular retreat -- it's a genuine connection to the magic that made Elvis Presley a global icon," said Cami Christensen, president and general manager of Westgate. "Guests are truly standing where the footsteps of the King once reigned, immersed in his spirit and legacy."
The room rate is $20,000 per night (based on availability and subject to change). Booking far in advance is encouraged by the hotel.

The Westgate also has a Christmas Suite and a Day of the Dead Suite as well high-roller suites and other sky villas.

If you want underrated Netflix shows, then watch these three programs (August 1-3)
While Netflix and TV mean the same thing for some people, that doesn't necessarily mean that finding something worth your time is all that easy. If you've ever found yourself scrolling through Netflix searching for just the right movie or show, then you know that the recommendations you get aren't necessarily always perfect. In light of the limitations of the algorithm, we've pulled together a list of three underrated shows that are all available on Netflix and all well worth your time. Take a look: Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Outlander (2014-) Although this show debuted to critical acclaim and has maintained a devoted fandom throughout its long run on the air, Outlander is no longer as beloved or popular as it once was. The series is romantic high fantasy and follows a woman living in the 1950s as she's transported 200 years into the past. She finds herself torn between the husband she left behind and the new man she's falling for in the past. Breathtakingly romantic, Outlander is definitely a show about love and all of its many complications and dramas, but it's incredibly good at being that. You can watch Outlander on Netflix. Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp (2015) The 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer remains, in some ways, the ideal gonzo comedy of its era. Nothing in the movie makes much sense, and none of it really has to, in part because it features a cast filled with people who would go on to become major stars. First Day of Camp attempts to recapture the magic of that original film and succeeds to a larger extent than you might expect. Not every single joke lands, but as a vehicle for laughs, you could do a lot worse than this revival series, which managed to get even Paul Rudd to show up for a moment. You can watch Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp on Netflix. Chef's Table: BBQ (2020) A show that's guaranteed to make even the vegetarians amongst us hungry, Chef's Table: BBQ is a food travelogue that hones in on barbecue in all of its various forms and travels all around the world to sample them. While Netflix offers many excellent food documentaries, this season of Chef's Table uniquely enhances your appreciation for a type of cuisine that has been integral to most people's lives for years. Barbecue has plenty of long, beautiful traditions, and Chef's Table: BBQ shines a spotlight on all of them. You can watch Chef's Table: BBQ on Netflix.

The LeapMove is a gamified camera designed to get kids off the couch
LeapFrog has announced a new electronic learning system that swaps controllers for a camera. In fact, the LeapMove looks like an oversized, kid-friendly webcam, but is designed to connect to TVs like a console and get kids off the couch using educational games that require full-body movements to play. It's reminiscent of the Xbox Kinect or the PlayStation 2's EyeToy, but simpler and much cheaper than competitors' products like the $249 Nex Playground. The LeapMove will be available through retailers including Target, Walmart, and Amazon for $69.99, and comes with 25 motion-based games designed for kids aged 4 to 7. It might be hard to pull the older end of that demographic away from games like Roblox, Among Us, and even Fortnite, but in addition to motion detection, the LeapMove uses its camera to make players appear as themselves or 'whimsical characters' in several games, which may appeal to younger kids. The games cover 'foundational school subjects' including math, reading, and spelling, and require players to do everything from dancing around to waving their arms and even attempting to catch on-screen objects. The LeapMove connects to a TV over HDMI, and instead of rechargeable batteries it needs access to a power outlet. It can be used either sitting beneath a TV or perched atop it like a webcam using a fold-out support. LeapFrog says additional games will be made available for the LeapMove at a later date, which can be loaded by connecting the device to a computer and using the company's LeapFrog Connect desktop app. They won't be free, but unlike the Nex Playground, the LeapMove doesn't come with any subscription fees. Parents concerned about privacy, particularly with devices that rely heavily on a camera, may appreciate that the LeapMove has no wireless connectivity. In 2018, VTech, LeapFrog's parent company, agreed to settle for a $650,000 fine after the FTC alleged it collected kids' personal information, including names, emails, and genders, through its KidiConnect mobile app. The LeapMove is completely standalone and keeps track of up to three players' progress locally.

A Pineapple Jack-o'-Lantern Started It All
John Paul Nothaft and Sarah Margaret Berger hit it off when they met at a mutual friend's Halloween party in 2016. Both were students at the Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester in New York, and crossed paths around campus, but had never spoken. Mr. Nothaft was a graduate student studying to be an organist, while Ms. Berger, a junior, was studying the violin. 'John had a kindness about him the couple of times I had seen him, so when a friend introduced us, it wasn't hard to get a conversation going,' said Ms. Berger, who came to the party dressed like Wednesday Addams from the Addams family. The two started talking about their families, shared love of cats and favorite music. 'I liked Sarah's similar sense of humor,' said Mr. Nothaft, who donned a taco costume. 'We kept our conversation going for hours. I was impressed that Sarah liked organ music.' Ms. Berger was also impressed: 'I've always considered the organ a demanding instrument to play.' They eventually headed to Mr. Nothaft's off-campus apartment, across from Ms. Berger's dorm. There, he asked her if he could kiss her. 'I had never had someone ask me so formally,' Ms. Berger said. 'It felt gentlemanly.' He texted her the next day and asked if she would join him in carving a pineapple like a jack-o'-lantern in the spirit of Halloween. 'I'm a goofy person,' Mr. Nothaft said, 'and I thought carving a pineapple would be more unique than a pumpkin.' Ms. Berger was game. 'I remember thinking that John was unlike anyone I'd ever met,' she said. They made plans for another date and met a week later to see their school production of Benjamin Britten's opera 'The Turn of the Screw.' 'I wasn't sure John would enjoy it, but we both loved it,' Ms. Berger said. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
