A minibus carrying tourists picks up a hitch-hiker late in the evening on the road to Las Vegas. The tourists aren't able to get a good look at the stranger , but they are left with the impression of a tall, dark and handsome middle-aged man.

Over the following days the tourists start seeing glimpses of this man at the casinos, shopping outlets, wedding chapels, and Hoover Dam. It is as if he is shadowing them. The tourists grow increasingly nervous particularly after one of them goes missing while trying to chase after this mysterious figure.

Possibilities

1     The stranger is Elvis. Plagued by health problems he struck a bargain with Nyarlathotep and in exchange for some terrible deed he was given immortality. However, he needs to periodically feed from the life force of humans in order to live. He usually takes his victims from the Las Vegas area, but often ventures to other parts of the US and the world, thus causing the numerous Elvis sightings in the last 20 years. The tourists are being stalked and drained of their energy and this will eventually result in death.

2     The stranger is an Elvis impersonator. There is an unpublicised Elvis convention in town and the tourists are glimpsing Elvis impersonators and are growing paranoid for no good reason. The missing tourist is merely lost, and turns up eventually.

3     The stranger is a harmless wraith-like figure that bears a striking resemblance to Elvis. It keeps hitching rides into the city with strangers and then follows them around, but always at a distance.
