Tourist Traps Worth a Visit

Graceland, Memphis
Description: Elvis Presley’s gaudy 13-acre estate was the King’s Memphis, Tennessee home from 1957–1977. (He died of a heart attack in the bathroom of the white-columned mansion on Aug. 16, 1977.)
Why We Love It: Crazy amounts of Elvis memorabilia, including his famous jumpsuits; it’s America’s most garish National Historic Landmark; even the pillows have mirrors.
