What an experience. My husband is a huge Elvis fan I thought he was ok. Honestly I thought that everyone made TOO big a deal of Elvis and everything Elvis. After years of requesting this vacation I gave in and we did "The Whole Elvis Thing" for vacation. What can I say except for I am now a convert. What an amazing person Elvis was. ...

Not an Elvis Fan
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/09/07
Graceland seems to have turned into much more than a museum. Every exhibit exited into a gift shop. I'm not sure Elvis owned any guitar-shaped purses or such...it was a bit too much. And I agree about the staff. They weren't as friendly as they should be. One staff member acted like she has never heard of France.
I wouldn't waste the money ($40 per person) on looking at several rooms and his clothes.

MOST AMAZING EXPERIENCE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/28/07
I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT GRACELAND, PROBABLY BECAUSE IM A TRUE ELVIS FAN. I WAS 12 YEARS OLD WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT HIM, AND WAS A FAN EVER SINCE, SAW HIM TWICE IN CONCERT. I HAVE BEEN TO GRACELAND TWO TIMES AND INTEND TO GO AGAIN NEXT YEAR. I CAN'T WAIT, I EVEN SIGNED THE WALL. I FELT ELVIS WAS THERE, AND IM SURE HE WOULD BE PLEASED TO HAVE SO MANY FANS STILL.

It is breathtaking!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/28/07
I have lived in Memphis all my life and the best thing is having Graceland right here. The Mansion is beautiful. My favorite part is the trophy room i guess you would call it. When you turn down the hall and you see Gold albums from top to bottom. I was only 8 yrs old when Elvis died but I remember it like it was yesterday. Tour of Graceland is a MUST SEE.

A true slice of Rock n Roll History!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/23/07
A truly moving experience. I was amazed at the amount of awards and silver, gold, and platinum records on display. The end of the tour in the meditation garden where Elvis and his family are buried is spiritual and emotional to say the least. Prices at the gift shops and restaurants are way too expensive though. Also, it's a shame that the rest ...

Graceland Rocks!!!
By sarah7180@..., 09/10/07
It was my first time visiting and I must say, I love this place! The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere was great. There is so much to see, it's amazing! If you can only visit one place in Memphis, Graceland is the place. Elvis and Graceland Rule! (Just do not stay at The Days Inn at Graceland, up the road!!)

I really can't wait to go back.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/07/07
I absolutely loved it. I haven't been there for 13 years and I can't wait to go back. I loved walking through the Mansion and seeing everything that he had accomplished through life.
