No and no.

I have not been to Graceland - I was never driven to the whole "Elvis Pilgrimage" thing... although many in my family have... I suppose, if I were in Memphis for some reason, I would visit if my schedule allowed... but I wouldn't make a special trip.
-
No, I think I'd spend my time in Memphis eating at all the great bar-b-cue restaurants.
-
No and No. Though I've enjoyed some of Elvis' music, I've never been amazed by him. I can't think of what would be so interesting about his home. Although I did take a tour of the winchester house and Hurst castle and liked them.

G'Day Friend! That is not a goal of mine, but, I bet it would be interesting! Regards.
-
sure... i would like to go anywhere... wanna buy me a ticket?
-
Yes I have been to Graceland and would go again. It is very interesting and you learn a great deal about the man not just the image.
-
No and since I'm not an Elvis fan I would not be very interested in touring Graceland.
-
No, and yes - will you come with me? The album's great anyways :-)
-
Yes, when he was alive. I took some Koreans there after he died. It was different, mainly the game room but if you like Elvis then you have to go.

I've been to Graceland about two times. I haven't been for a long time. Graceland is only about two hours away from me and I'd like to go again. They have a hotel there now called "Heartbreak Hotel".

I probably never would have chosen to go on my own but I did get to go because I brought a tour group there. I was taken aback by how touched I was by the experience. We started out by touring Sun Studios in downtown Memphis, a non-descript hole in the wall brick building that anyone could easily walk right by. You begin to visualize this innocent 19 year old kid from Mississippi cutting his first record there. We then went on to Graceland, where there is not just his house, but several museums of his life on the property. His costumes, his recordings, his cars, his two jets, his awards, his many family photos. The swing set where Lisa Marie played still in its original place in the backyard. The audio tour of the house hearing commentary from Priscilla and Lisa Marie. To see the evolution of this man from that young kid to the man who was chewed up and spit out by the system was surprisingly touching and bittersweet, and hammered home by seeing his burial plot right by the house. Again, I don't know if I would have made a special trip, but I am glad I got to experience the story that it told:)

No, but I have the album by Paul Simon. Oh, and I love Reese’s Peanut Butter and Banana Cups.

I've been to Graceland twice and I plan to go again this fall because it's been years and years since I visited. I may spend the night and stay at "Heartbreak Hotel".
-
Yes I have.
