A bucket list destination for Leslie, she was more excited than she wanted to admit about getting a tour. Opting for a standard tour and a look at Elvis’ private planes was a tough call as the tickets were $45 a person. The VIP tours were $170 a person. As you can imagine, everything is very expensive! The mansion was smaller than expected but very opulent. Details were evident at each turn. The second floor is not part of the tour as it is still used by the family today. There was a carport for his 8 cars, offices for his manager and staff, stables for his horses and a racquetball court where he played his last game before his death that very day. His planes especially the Lisa Marie were impressive. The sink and fixtures in the bathroom were 24 carat gold plate as well were the buckles of the seat belts. His bedroom suite was all blue suede. Again, details were evident at every turn. The afternoon was topped off right with a value pak of event pictures and a shopping spree for appropriate Christmas presents for the rest of the family. A token and most likely standard $200 plus was spent on Elvis and his legacy.
