Elvis completed additional recording for the film “Speedway” in the morning and, after lunch, took makeup camera tests for his next film “Stay Away, Joe”.
Elvis Presley was released from Speedway and was due to begin two nights of recording at RCA Studio A on Sunset Boulevard. However, because of an accident near Elvis's home in Bel Air, Colonel Parker, fearing negative publicity, sent Elvis and Priscilla to Las Vegas.
At 6:00 p.m., Elvis Presley hosted a dinner for the cast and crew of the film “Charro!” at Goldwyn Studios. He then left for Las Vegas for a short stay at the Aladdin Hotel.
