- Your first stop inside Graceland Mansion will be the foyer where you can view Elvis' living room, dining room, the stairway, and his mother's bedroom. In the foyer was often where special guests were received and shown to the living room, where they would await Elvis to greet them. Elements of decor you see in these rooms today span all of the Elvis eras at Graceland, but the look is primarily the late 1960s to early 1970s incarnation. Next, you will travel through Elvis' kitchen which is a throwback to the 70s. It’s definitely a 70s time capsule. It was left exactly how it was when Elvis lived there. He used to sit at the bar for hours watching his fans at the gate in the security camera and sometimes he would go out and greet them. You will see a red phone in each area of the house and that is Elvis’s personal phone.
We saw the Jungle Room with its green shagged carpets, Polynesian feel and exotically carved wood. This room was once the exterior access to the basement. In the 1960s, during one of Elvis' home improvement projects, it was added to the back of the house - first as a screened in porch and then closed in as a room a few years later. In 1974, Elvis redecorated with the current furnishings he stumbled upon at a Memphis furniture store. This room became a family favorite and Elvis liked it in part because it was reminiscent of Hawaii, where he enjoyed vacationing, film-making and performing.
Then we went to his downstairs area which includes the TV room and billiards room.
From there we exited into a carport where he used to park his cars. Then we saw Vernon Presley’s office where he paid the bills for Elvis and took care of his personal business.
We saw the smokehouse that he used for a shooting range. We visited the trophy building, the Racquetball Building, and the memorial where Elvis and his relatives are buried.
We saw so many personal artifacts from the life of Elvis. We even got to hold a concert belt.
The Ultimate VIP Graceland Tour was a three hour tour. We highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide turned out to be the step brother of Elvis (we found out later). He told so many personal stories. It was the tour of a lifetime from someone who had lived there!
