I think it would be unfair to try and review Graceland because you either love the King or think someone else was greater. We went with the idea of the history of the 1960s through the 1970s and enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. We did the VIP full tour of the mansion, automobiles, movies, military, and planes. It was fasinating seeing how people lived in the 60's and 70's and the decor was something else. I do not believe I will go back again, but we are glad we did it once. The automobiles were very nice especially some of the rare hard to come by models that you do not see these days. The memorbilia from the military and the movies were nice to see. If you have not been once you must go. Be warned that Graceland is not in the best neighborhood so I would not stay in a hotel in the area if you can get somewhere else.

Everyone asks "what is the one place you want to see before you die?" well, this was mine. My husband is a soldier and had just finished a deployment to Iraq. While he was away, we celebrated our 30th anniversary, April, 2007. On that day, he rang me from Baghdad, and asked me where is the one place I have always wanted to go? He told me when he got back, we'd be going. We got there early October. I have nothing but praise for the staff, so helpful. We bought VIP passes. First visit, used the audio headsets. Second time I asked if I could do the tour without the headset as I found it distracting and I already knew all the info and stories. I was told there was about a 10 minute gap between myself and the next tour group, and if I wanted to, I could go through by myself. I was beside myself. I had the whole house to myself, including Meditation Garden, so peaceful and quiet. I will remember those moments for the rest of my life. I don't think they knew just how much that meant to me. We found the Graceland experience absolutely wonderful in every way. The shops across the road did not impress us. We found the staff rude and didn't care about Elvis, it was just a job. As Australians, we found the food hard to get used to. We don't tend to eat as much high fat food and as much cheese, so we struggled with that aspect. I have been asked if I would go back to Graceland. I don't think I could ever recreate the feeling of seeing it for the first time, but if I had the chance I would go back.

I took my second trip to Graceland with my husband. We had a wonderful time. Everyone needs to see rooms with shag carpet on the ceiling! Elvis fans rejoice. There is a place where you can see all the Elvis memorabilia you want. Not a fan? Go anyway--you'll be one when you leave!
