Fans Flocked to Graceland

As it turned out, Priscilla’s decision to open Graceland to the public was nothing short of brilliant. Fans of the iconic Elvis Presley flocked to the hallowed grounds of their beloved idol’s home. The enduring allure of Graceland was underscored in 2016 when, after 34 years of welcoming visitors, it celebrated its 20 millionth guest. Each passing year brought forth special events that drew thousands of tourists, all converging to pay homage to the legendary musician’s life and enduring impact.

In due course, Lisa Marie, the rightful heir to her father’s legacy, came into her inheritance. In 2005, she made a strategic move, selling 85% of the Elvis Presley Estate to an entertainment company that possessed the expertise and resources to further elevate the Graceland experience. This brought a multitude of attractions over the years, including the inclusion of Elvis’s private jets, ensuring that Graceland remains a dynamic and ever-evolving tribute to the King of Rock and Roll.
