Graceland Trip

This year is the 10th anniversary of Kris losing her Dad. Dad LOVED Elvis. He even had a pink Cadillac when he was in high school. We used to listen to listen to Elvis when we were little and watch all of his movies when they came on TV. We thought it would be nice to celebrate Dad's life by going to Graceland in style!

On our way!

As usual, we didn't leave as early as we would have liked but we're not really in a hurry. Here we go!
Hollywood Casino

We got to Tunica, MS around dinner time. Our first stop was the Hollywood Casino.
Elvis prop

I totally forgot Hollywood had props in their casinos. This one is on-theme for our trip!
Very cool car

Love it!
Titanic

Impressively big Titanic set.
Sam's Town

We left Hollywood after gambling for a long time and tried our luck at Sam's Town. For the night, we ended up $14!
The Guesthouse at Graceland

We left Tunica and drove to our hotel in Memphis, The Guesthouse at Graceland. It was very cool!
Furniture

I loved all the furniture and the textures. The column looks like fabric but it's metal.
Lobby bar

The wall lamps and the back mirror, so cool!
Lobby ceiling
4th floor

Elvis was everywhere, of course. We stayed on the 4th floor. Each floor had a different outfit.
Our room

We just got a regular room. Priscilla Presley decorated some of the large suites.
Dresser

I should have opened the drawer. The inside of the drawers were painted red to match the pillow on the bed.
Gold lamé jacket

The artwork in the room!

We figured if we're going to take a tour we might as well take the Ultimate VIP Tour.
