But Elvis was aware that she was underage and did not go further because everyone was watching them. It was Elvice who convinced Cassandra that Vegas was not for a young girl to be in all by herself and needed to get the hell out of that city. She said in an interview,

"Elvis convinced me that this was no town for a young girl to be in, by herself, and that it would not lead to bigger and better things, that if I really wanted to make it in show business that I needed to get the Hell out of Vegas. So, I always say to people, I started out as the youngest showgirl in Vegas and, if it wasn’t for Elvis, I would now be the oldest showgirl. My God, can you imagine? Aye-yai-yai!”

There was even one rumor between her and the famous singer Jimmy Page. When Jimmy was in the band YardBirds, he met Cassandra and became very insistent to sleep with her. But when she did not agree with Jimmy, he ripped off her clothes and Cassandra ran out of the room with her skirt pulled to her waist and torn sweater.

Cassandra told she needed stitches after she had sex with him but the worst part is when she saw him making out with his background singer the next night she went to saw him.

"I thought for sure we were gonna run away together and get married. I went backstage to see him the next night, but he was with his two background singers... and was all over them. I was disgusted."
