I'd have a fricking panic attack if I had to stay in this room for longer than 10 seconds and I've never had a panic attack before.

Allegedly, it hasn't been touched since he died.

If I remember correctly the years of taking all kinds of uppers and downers every day caught up with him. Financially, his biggest expense at the end was planes. He bought and sold several planes and lost money on them all. He bought the plane that would become the Lisa Marie (the one at Graceland) in '75 and spent over $800k redoing it. I think it took a few years to get it completed so he only really flew it it for a short time. But on a whim he would fly people to see that plane that while they were working on it.

I really think all the spending was because he was bored.

I remember looking at that ceiling covered in fabric pleats and thinking, "How long did it take to put that up there and why?"

I was shocked that room didn't reek of smoke. Imagine a bunch of drunked up gun toting redneck goons in there smoking cigarettes and waiting for their high-as-a-kite boss to tell them what to do.

There is no way I could be drunk in that room. It already looks like it is spinning and closing in on me.

That kitchen with the avocado appliances could be found in any suburb home back in the late sixties early seventies...




My parents had that same green shag carpet as the jungle room...

I went to Graceland and the tour guide talked about Elvis watching 3 football games at once in that TV room. I stole the idea and did the same in my bonus room. Thanks Elvis.

magine how much poonanny was slayed by The King in that room.


Solid bet that his naked, and what I'm assuming was, hairy arse, has been inside Priscilla or some other broad in every single one of the rooms, on all the furniture pictured in the OP.
