To kick off the 22nd anniversary celebration weekend, Wildhorse Resort & Casino is hosting Justin Shandor, a nationally recognized Elvis Tribute Artist, March 9-10 in Rivers Events Center at 7:30 p.m.
Shandor, a Detroit native that now calls Portland home, began professionally impersonating The King when he was 16, and has spent the last decade practicing and perfecting his remarkable skills. At the 4th Annual Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist competition at the Orpheum in Memphis put on by Elvis Presley Enterprises, Shandor took top prize. His first-place victory got him a $20,000 cash prize, an endorsement from Graceland and the title of the “The World’s Ultimate Elvis”. His career has been on fire ever since. Shandor’s voice is so close to that of Elvis, that he has won many awards including the prestigious “Heart of the King Award” in Las Vegas.
