They won\u2019t let you get on the bus if your tour group hasn\u2019t been called. Once on the bus, the shuttle will drive you across the street to the mansion and they\u2019ll drop you off right in front. There, you\u2019ll be held as guests are slowly allowed to head in to the mansion and start the tour. From there, you\u2019re on your own and you can go as fast, or as slow as you want through the tour. John Stamos does a great job of narrating and I would have loved to have had more time to do the tour over again. It was fantastic and I came out a bigger Elvis fan than before the tour started.<\/p>\n<p> If you\u2019re planning on visiting Graceland, make sure you jot down these five things you can\u2019t miss on the Graceland Tour in Memphis, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Trophy Building<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Have you ever seen a gold or platinum record? I\u2019ve seen a few here and there, but nothing like this. Nothing like walls down the hallway filled with record after record detailing the success that Elvis had with his music. The building also has memorabilia from the movies that filmed and notes about his donations as a philanthropist. We quickly learned that he didn\u2019t hoard his money, he was very devoted to his fans and his country and demonstrated that through his donations.<\/p>\n<p> The Trophy Building also houses popular outfits he wore at different appearances, including his wedding tuxedo and Army uniform.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-gold-platinum-records.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-gold-platinum-records.jpg\" alt=\"elvis-gold-platinum-records\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-gold-platinum-records.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-gold-platinum-records-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-gold-platinum-records-269x202.jpg 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-memorabilia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-memorabilia.jpg\" alt=\"elvis-presley-memorabilia\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-memorabilia.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-memorabilia-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/hound-dog-gold-record.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/hound-dog-gold-record.jpg\" alt=\"hound-dog-gold-record\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/hound-dog-gold-record.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/hound-dog-gold-record-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/hound-dog-gold-record-269x202.jpg 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-army-uniform.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-army-uniform.jpg\" alt=\"elvis-presley-army-uniform\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-army-uniform.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-army-uniform-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-army-uniform-269x202.jpg 269w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><strong>Racquetball Building<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> Turns out, Elvis loved playing racquetball. He had a court built in the backyard of his mansion and it included&nbsp;a small living room and even a bar. On your tour, you\u2019ll see it as the final resting space for amazing and iconic jumpsuits, a tv that shows a video of Elvis wearing the jumpsuits, many, many posthumously received awards and other Vegas memorabilia. It\u2019s a stunning room. You\u2019ll have one of those moments were you\u2019re just struck with awe at everything that he accomplished.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Racquetball-Building-living-room.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Racquetball-Building-living-room.jpg\" alt=\"Racquetball-Building-living-room\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Racquetball-Building-living-room.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/Racquetball-Building-living-room-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<h3><strong>Pool Room<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> In 1974, three men took 10 days to cut and pleat the 100% cotton fabric and affix to the wall and ceiling.&nbsp;It is hung by tension rods along the walls, and stapled to the ceiling.

And yes, it\u2019s where Elvis and members of his family have been laid to rest. Tombs are placed in a semi-circle, with the second-to-last tomb being Elvis\u2019. It\u2019s heartbreaking to see it. Especially once you\u2019ve seen his entire life laid our in pictures, memorabilia and video during the tour. You can take as much as time you want here in the garden and you can bring gifts to lay on his tomb. There is also seating available. And if you want to do this before the tour, you can visit the garden between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., free of charge.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-garden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13579\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-garden.jpg\" alt=\"meditation-garden\" width=\"650\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-garden.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-garden-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/meditation-garden-258x202.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-tomb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13580\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-tomb.jpg\" alt=\"elvis-presley-tomb\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-tomb.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-tomb-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/elvis-presley-tomb-152x202.jpg 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a>\n<p> <strong>Bonus!
