Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
Yes, it's all still here: the Musical Note gates; the Jungle Room with the avocado green shag carpeting on the ceiling; the family graves out back. The toilet of death is still not included on the self-guided audio tour, but maybe, some day....
Graceland has spilled across the street in recent years, forcing out the small shops that used to sell Elvis-head booties and Elvis photos lacquered onto wood. In their place are a slew of satellite museums where you can see the King's pink Cadillac and jeep, his tour bus, his big private jet; rent a room in the seven-story Heartbreak Hotel -- and buy a whole slew of new, Graceland-approved souvenirs that are only marginally less distasteful than the old ones, and nowhere near as much fun.
