It was also a year ago, that Graceland started to reopen to the public after the first wave of the pandemic. At the time I commented elsewhere that it was probably a good time to go as it wouldn’t be so crowded.
A year later I would still say that same thing. Its a great time to visit Graceland right now because its not as crowded as it used to be. It will be soon but in the meantime take advantage of the situation.
Graceland isn’t just a house there is so much to experience. First and top of any visitors list is this is where Elvis lived. You feel like he could be just around the corner. See his wide range of costumes he wore on stage including the famous 68 comeback concert stagewear. Don’t miss out on seeing the famous pink Cadillac and wonder at his wall of gold records.
And how I wish that there were more Than twenty-four hours in the day. But even if there were forty more, I wouldn’t sleep a minute away. Oh, there’s blackjack and poker and a roulette wheel. A fortune won and lost on every deal. All you need’s a strong heart and a nerve of steel.
“Viva Las Vegas” was the title song of the film of the same name, sung by Elvis Presley. Although Elvis first performed in Vegas in 1956, it was his twice a day, seven days a week, 636 sold out shows, from August 1969 on, at the International where his association with the city was firmly cemented.

Next stop on our list of destinations to visit as soon as we start travelling again will be Las Vegas. It is so difficult in a short amount of space to describe the countless reasons to visit. This is just a start.
The image of countless casinos is one that many people still hold of Las Vegas, but as a holiday destination it is so much more than that. It can better be described as an entertainment destination. If you are looking to be entertained then you will find it here and you don’t have to place a bet to enjoy what it has to offer.
There is nothing to beat a walk down the Las Vegas Strip in the evening. It is the must do part of your visit. You will be transported to Venice, Paris and New York. Don’t miss out on the beautiful Bellagio Fountains as they dance to the music every 15 minutes in the evenings.
