So, we're sitting around (me and the gf (no pics a-holes)) and we decide we just want a change of scenery and get away for a few days. We threw darts at a map and ended up with 8 finalist cities and then wrote those down and drew out of a hat.

The winner was Memphis. I haven't been since I was a kid and don't know the first thing about Memphis.

Any hotel recommendations? Must see types of things to do/see?

while you can't go wrong with the Peabody, also check out The Madison.

Didn't. As I said it was total random luck.

Maybe. Just one of those "frick it" type of things. We couldn't figure out where to go and we've both traveled a good bit. Never been here so, like I said, frick it.

I used to go to Memphis once a month for business. I always bid on priceline in the East Memphis area. Would usually get a Hilton Garden Inn, Hyatt, or Sheraton for 45 bucks.

Peabody is nice as well as the Madison. I believe they have some NCAAt games in Memphis this year? Maybe catch a Grizz game too if you can. Not sure when the Rebirds start upm nicest Triple A stadium in the country.

Memphis sucks


That being said take a tour of St. Jude, it is amazing and quite humbling


Also eat some BBQ

Peabody or the Madison are good recommendations. The Westin across the street from the forum is great too.

I found this to be pretty good representation of things to do here for tourists LINK

I have been to Memphis a few times on business, and had a great time. Beale St is a must do. I am not a big Elvis fan, but there's Graceland. I do want to see the Memphis Belle next time I go.
