A Must for Every Elvis Fan
猫王雅园的点评
点评：It sort of goes without saying, but if you are an Elvis fan then Graceland is an absolute must. To walk through his home, explore the museums, and see all his gold records and jumpsuits are things we’ll always remember.
The on line purchasing was very easy. There are a number of tour options. We booked the one with the audio guide and for the huge price difference between that and a guided tour the audio was just fine. (I sort of eavesdropped on the guided tours and they didn’t say anything that I - as a lifelong Elvis fan- didn’t already know). The audio could use a little updating as others have noted following the death of Lisa Marie Presley.
We visited the on a Tuesday in early October and there were not many people at all. No real waiting in line for the shuttles to and from the mansion. The museums were wide open so you could really take your time and experience everything.
A couple of things to note however. You do not get to see the upstairs of the mansion. This should not surprise anyone as this had always been the case and is well known. Yet, there are still people who complain about it in their reviews. So, do your homework.
The other thing to note is that there is definitely a narrative being presented here. You see the Elvis that EPE wants you to see. It’s “Elvis the Legend” with the glitz and the cars and the planes and the outfits as opposed to Elvis the man who struggled with his own demons and foibles. Not that it has to be sensationalized. There is a way to respectfully address these things. But I cannot recall seeing one photo of him after 1975 or so. There’s no real mention of his health issues, drug use, etc. And that is a shame. Because it’s part of the story. Elvis represented both the Great American Success Story and the Great American Tragedy. And to really understand Elvis the man, you need to understand both.

翻译：这毋庸置疑，但如果你是猫王的粉丝，雅园绝对是必去之地。参观他的故居，参观博物馆，欣赏他所有的金唱片和连体衣，这些都会让我们终生难忘。
在线购买非常方便。有很多游览选择。我们预订了带语音导览的，虽然价格和导游团相差悬殊，但语音导览的效果还不错。（我偷听了导游的讲解，他们没有透露任何我——作为一个猫王的铁杆粉丝——不知道的事情）。正如其他人在丽莎·玛丽·普雷斯利去世后提到的那样，语音导览可以稍微更新一下。
我们是在十月初的一个星期二参观的，人不多。不用排队等候往返于豪宅的班车。博物馆都对外开放，所以你可以慢慢欣赏，体验一切。
不过有几点需要注意。你无法参观豪宅的楼上。这应该不足为奇，因为这种情况一直存在，而且众所周知。然而，仍然有人在评论中抱怨。所以，做好功课吧。
另外需要注意的是，这里呈现的肯定是一个叙事。你看到的是EPE希望你看到的猫王。这是一个“传奇猫王”，拥有浮华、名车、飞机和华丽的服装，而不是一个与自身恶魔和弱点作斗争的猫王。这并非一定要耸人听闻。总有一种方法可以尊重地处理这些事情。但我记不起在1975年左右之后看到过他的一张照片。没有真正提到他的健康问题、吸毒等等。这很遗憾。因为这些都是故事的一部分。猫王既代表了伟大的美国成功故事，也代表了伟大的美国悲剧。要真正理解猫王本人，你需要理解两者。
