ONLY $5.95 KflL LAS VEGAS For the first time since his name went on the hotel marquee in 1968, Elvis Presley wasn't a sellout attraction at the Las Vegas Hilton last weekend. Sponsors of a 10-day "Always Elvis" convention had hoped for 3,000 people a day, but the combined attendance Friday and Saturday appeared to be less than half that amount. Many who did come had mixed feelings. They welcomed the rare chance to meet Col.

Tom Parker, the late singer's longtime manager, and cheered the premiere showing a film-slide presentation featuring Presley home movies and early concert footage. BUT THEY ALSO complained about excessive commercialism, pointing to souvenir booths offering oddities ranging from Elvis dinner plates to Elvis wastebas-kets to copies of the National Enquirer casket photo. "Ripoff," muttered a 32-year-old Presley fan club member from Ohio. "I like the idea of people who loved Elvis getting together, but look at those souvenirs. They're mostly junk just stuff people threw together after his death to make a quick buck.

They cheapen Elvis' memory. "And what about Charlie Hodge? I thought he was supposed to be Elvis' best friend. He was in Germany with him and was always on stage with him. So what's he doing now? He's charging people $5 to have their picture taken with him. And it's not even a real picture, it's a Polaroid." The irony is that the fan had just left the booth where she had paid the $5 to pose with Hodge.

She slipped the snapshot in a shopping bag already crammed with things like "Elvis Didn't Die-He Moved to a Better Town" bumper stickers. "I guess I'm just a sucker for Elvis," she said. "He meant so much to me. When I saw those movies of him and Priscil-la having such a good time, I started crying. I had to leave the theater.

I'm glad I came. The best thing was finally getting to meet the Colonel. He's all we've got left." this Sunday, Monday or Tuesday you tan feast upon our juicy New York Strip for only $5. 95.
