Elvis Presley's Graceland Platinum Experience
It's Graceland what more can you say. Very cool to see the place Elvis lived an awesome step back into history. Take your time here there is alot to see and soak in. We were there for four hours total!
-David Vinson, Camdenton, MO Elvis Presley's Graceland Platinum Experience
Even though the upper level of the house is not open to the public, the lower level & the grounds are. The house has been restored to the condition it was in 1977. There are couple of rooms (racquetball court) with his suits, gold & platinum records, & even the t.v. he gave his parents in 1975. The swimming pool in back of the house is still there with the garden where Elvis, his mother, father, & grandmother are buried. It was raining lightly & they had (free to use) umbrella's, conveniently located, if needed. Across the street (Elvis Presley Blvd.) are a car / tractor /motorcycle museum, uniforms, & suits. There are 2 restaurants, & 11, count 'em, 11 gift shops, with different Elvis memorabilia, post cards, c.d.'s, pins, shirts & mints. We took the free shuttle to Sun Studio, which was an amazing experience in itself, Everyone was very helpful. I would recommend Graceland to anyone who is interested in Elvis Presley.
