Racquetball courts
Elvis tried racquetball in the early '70s and liked it so much he had his own court built. It had a weight training area on the ground floor, full-sized racqeutball court and a Jacuzzi and dressing rooms upstairs. It was completed in 1975. It cost about $200,000. Elvis took so much pride in the effort he personally supervised the constructions.
