From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis is the thirty-sixth album by Elvis Presley, released in October 1969 on RCA Records, catalogue LSP 6020. Recording sessions took place at American Sound Studio in Memphis, on January 13–15 and 21-22, and February 17–18, 1969, and at the International Hotel in Paradise, Nevada on August 24–26, 1969. It peaked at #12 on the Billboard 200, and has been certified Gold on 12/13/1969 by the RIAA.

Issued to capitalize upon the response to From Elvis in Memphis and its hit singles, and his newfound success as a headliner in Las Vegas, Vegas/Memphis is Presley's first double album and his first official live album The Colonel secured a month-long engagement at the International Hotel, and in keeping with the clear-the-decks philosophy of the previous album, Presley jettisoned his long-serving 1960s sidemen in favor of musicians who would become his Taking Care of Business band. The musicians used on the second lp were assembled by Chips Moman dating back from early 1969 at the American Sound Studios sessions in Memphis.

From Memphis To Vegas / From Vegas To Memphis was number 12 on the Hot LP chart when it entered on November 29 1969, it remained on the chart for twenty-four weeks.
