Lonely Planet review

In the spring of 1957, at age 22, Elvis spent around US$100,000 on this house and 13.8 acres, called Graceland. He lived here until his death in 1977, and he's buried next to the swimming pool with his closest relatives. Priscilla Presley (who divorced Elvis in 1973) opened Graceland to tours in 1982, and now millions come here to pay homage to the King.

Elvis himself had the place redecorated in 1974; with a 15ft couch, fake waterfall, yellow vinyl walls and green shag-carpet ceiling, it's a virtual textbook of '70s style. The rooms lined with gold records vividly illustrate Elvis' cultural impact.
