In addition to the opening of Graceland's first-ever hotel , which is located mere steps from where Elvis Presley lived, there's now even more thrilling news for fans of the King.
The $137 million Graceland expansion project is complete, just in time for the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death, according to Travel + Leisure . The 200,000-square-foot property now boasts a new 450-room hotel, two museums, a stage for performances, and several restaurants and shops.
For $57.50 each, guests can tour the property and see all of the updates. You can stop by the "Elvis: The Entertainer" museum, which showcases hundreds of his belongings like platinum records and jumpsuits, browse the "Private Presley: Elvis in the Army" exhibit, or visit Presley Motors and Presley Cycles to see all of his motorcycles and vintage cars in person.
This is the first major renovation to the site since it opened in 1982. Now, followers of the musician can see even more of the legend's personal items, hold conventions and events on-site, and even stay on property at Graceland.
"I swear to you, I can go in that house and feel like I never left," Priscilla Presley said at the ribbon cutting event, according to WKNO . "For me personally, I feel his presence there, I hear his contagious laugh [and then] we'd all start laughing, and then we'd know he's in a good mood, too." Fans, there's never been a time to visit the home of the King!
