But you be the judge. “Cocktails with The King” will feature this performer from 2-6 p.m. Saturdays starting this weekend at The Golden Tiki. Happy hour specials include $5 mai tais, and other drinks and food for half price. For the record: Elvis would be more than 80 years old, but who knows? Maybe he cleaned up his act and is remarkably well preserved.
