Wow Well Worth the Price with Coupon

by rvonthegogo at Citysearch

Graceland is amazing. If youve never been there than you really need to go. You get to actually see how elvis lived and its really cool. Everything is 100% authentic and you kinda feel like the king yourself as you walk through the mansion. The Platinum tour is great since you get to see the inside of his plane too. I used a 2 for 1 Graceland Coupon so I only ended up paying $35 for 2 platinum tours instead of the normal price of $70. I got my discount from a website for .75 cents so it was well well worth the price. If you would like to save some money too and get the same 2 for 1 Graceland Coupon just type the word PICounts into google to be take to the same place I got my discount from. Hope this helps.

Avoid Graceland's Parking Lot!

by Rockhound2019 at Citysearch

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

Don't need a tour

by daisysquirrel at Citysearch

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

A great kitsch experience

by JerryKJensen at Citysearch

I lived in Memphis for five years, and always brought family and visitors to Graceland. It's the ultimate camp, kitsch experience. The museum with trophies, awards and costumes IS very impressive, as a display of Elvis's impact. You can't really take Graceland really seriously, although the tour guides take it VERY seriously, almost reverentially, which makes it even more fun! Just don't make fun of it when the faithful come for "Dead Elvis Week".

Be Serious!

by geraldbrimacombe at Citysearch

Of all the possible scenic and historical road trips in the U.S. I would put a trip to Graceland near the bottom. Why isn't Mt. Rusmore and the Black Hills; Yellowstone, Glacier and Yosemite National Parks; the Blue Ridge Pkwy.; the North Shore of Lake Superior; the Wright Brothers Memorial at Kittyhawk; Williamsburg, VA - to name just a few - . . . why aren't they on the list? The author's list is mighty shallow.

• Cons: Tacky, Shallow, Honkytonk
