    It's required by law that people can see the graves at a certain time, that's how they zoned it to be a considered a cemetery

      Authentic Brands LLC. bought out the building leased by the competition (Boulevard Souvenirs) but didn’t kill the business. It relocated

    I loved my stay at the Guesthouse. I was there right when it opened. The customer service was amazing!! And, of course, it was beautifully decorated and felt very Elvisy. We were there when the Christmas lights were turned on. It was magical.
    15:31 Priscilla picked out all the decor.

    Best video EVER Micah,I'm 52 yrs old and sadly have never been inside the gates of Graceland. I had a stroke a few years ago and I probably will never make it there(I hope I'm wrong) but if I don't make it I can see at least what it's like in Uncle Elvises place. Yeah I know he is not my real uncle but my whole life I have pretended he is my uncle I never got to meet bc I learned so much from him through his music and let's be real his natural coolness so ty very much!!!!!

      Thanks, that really means a lot to me! I did another video of inside both the house and car museum if you get a chance. I think you’ll enjoy my in depth look at his house and all the automobiles he had. Thanks for watching and I hope you get to the gates of Graceland one day.

      It also has a nice pool area.
      When I stayed there, I loved going to the huge movie theatre in the hotel and watching Viva Las Vegas. I also watched the '68 Comeback Special in my room while I was there. I also liked that, one night, there was karaoke in the restaurant.

      The $84 ticket includes a tour of the mansion but it also includes your entry to the large museum as well as a tour of Elvis' cars and jet. This took us most of the day! I felt it was well worth the money. However, I'm not sure children would enjoy it.

    Boulevard Souvenirs is now near Sun Studios. Graceland owned the building and would not renew Boulevard Souvenirs' lease.

    • @AliSampson-q3y
      @AliSampson-q3y 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yes. I believe Graceland had its museum in and around it in storefronts before they built the new facility. (That is what was there when I visited.) So, they likely are planning to bulldoze it down now that the new building is up and running.

    I drove from Lake County, FL to Little Rock last month, but on the way stayed in Tupelo and did the Elvis stuff there and then went to Graceland and did that whole thing. Sure, admission for the tours are kinda pricey, but I loved all of it and would do it again. Also, not a huge Elvis fan, but a fan of music and history in general. The billiards room is my favorite.

    • @AliSampson-q3y

      I don't think it's pricey though when you consider that there's lots more included in the price than just the mansion tour.

    OH MY
    ELVIS would have been 90 last Wednesday
    I remember the day the 🌍heard he had died🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭
    It was 2 days before my 12th birthday
    My Mom died in 2019 and I had already retired from work so my plan was to book a 3 week holiday to come to Memphis in 2020.
    But i came in April 2023 with a party of like minded ELVIS fans
    We stayed at the Guest House for 7 days and toured the places connected to ELVIS
    It was sad seeing the grave of Benjamin but doubly so for Lisa Marie😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
    The next 7 days flew to Hawaii and did the same
    The last 3 days flew to Seattle and did the same
    It was a holiday of a lifetime
    I doubt I will get back to Graceland as I have done health issues since

    They have those leaf blowers everytime this time of day when you can walk up. I think its out of spite because epe can't milk this for money. Otherwise leaf blowers everyday even when leaves stopped falling.

      It was really surprising to me when I went to Memphis to see how non-touristy everything was. I was kind of expecting it all to be done up like Disney World with a gift shop around every corner. But it wasn't like that. It was really nice and simple and quite real. So, it doesn't surprise me that no one has done anything with Vernon's home.

    The TCB WAS DESIGNED BY PRISCILLA

    • @AliSampson-q3y
      @AliSampson-q3y 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, I think it was Elvis. Priscilla was with him when it was sketched on a napkin on an airplane. But I'm quite sure that he worked with the jeweler to design the original TCB ring.
