Editorial Review for Graceland – by Linda Romine

Overview
Since it opened to the public in 1982, Elvis Presley's beloved Graceland has become the nation's most-visited home, second only to the White House. What's the attraction? Perhaps it's the decor, which runs the gamut from the royal blue-and-white living room with its limousine-sized couch, to the wildly tacky jungle room, where a ceramic monkey stands guard over the leopard-print sofas and faux waterfall.

The Experience
Although the superstar is buried in the Meditation Garden here at Graceland, he lives on in the hearts of his fans. Visitors may marvel at Elvis' Hall of Fame, where all of his gold records are displayed. Don't miss the King's clothes, including his bejeweled costumes, capes, karate belts, his tuxedo and Priscilla's petite wedding dress. Visitors can choose from three types of tours: mansion only, the platinum option, or the ultimate VIP tour.

Avoid the parking lot at Graceland like the plague. If you can't find free parking on the street, you can find a nearby commercial lot that charges much less than the $8 fee at the Graceland lot. All the Graceland prices have gone up since the Presley family sold the property, but parking is the biggest ripoff.

Pros: Worth seeing, though the prices have gone up far too much lately

Cons: Parking

Did you know you can get married at Graceland?, We did! Well, there is a little chapel behind the mansion where we held the ceremony. We even got to take our wedding photos on the mansion steps and front yard. Usually they only let a few people to be involved in the photo sessions, because of the tourists, but since they were decorating for christmas, the mansion was closed and everyone got to join in. The only problems were the time constraints to get ready and no changing room for the groom or groomsmen. The Rev sort of rushed through our vows b/c I went over the time allowed to get ready. Apparently they had booked a baptism right after our wedding... If I had known it would have taken me so long, I would have had my hair done before I got there!

Pros: I get to say I got married at Graceland!

Cons: Too rushed, no place for groom/groomsmen to get ready
