We had signed up for the 10:00 tour of Graceland. What an operation. We got on a shuttlebus to the house and waited in line. The tour guide at the door would let a few people in at a time. Instead of using actual tour guides for the rest of the tour, each person received an audiotour device and headphones. We toured the first floor, the basement, the Elvis trophy room, racquetball court, stables, and his grave. After Graceland, we saw the Elvis auto collection, his two airplanes, an exhibit on his Army days, and his jumpsuit collection. After each exhibit, we would end up in a gift shop. We had never seen so much Elvis stuff all in one place and people were buying it. It would be interesting to find out how many visitors they get a day. It has to be thousands.
