To give a story behind this photo: we were in Las Vegas for my birthday a few years ago and stayed at the New York, New York Hotel. I was at the video poker machine when I looked up and saw this huge ELVIS neon sign across the room of slot machines.

At first glance it looked like an EXIT sign, so when I shot this photo I thought of Elvis making his last exit and came up with the title of this image.
