Priscilla Presley cuts ribbon (VIDEO) Thank You Elvis Fans!

Priscilla Presley talks about the new complex, Elvis Presley's Memphis with such grace and CLASS. Elvis would be proud!

It's sad to see the old we know go, the good old days when it wasn't commercial but we know this is much needed to keep Elvis Presley's legacy going.

We fans are so proud to see what WE ALL were part of making happen by going every year and many more than once a year. 

Our continued support despite not being "founders" has paid the way for this. 

But we ARE founders by being there from day one or years leading up to, faithfully!

How can you make fans who can pay the 20 plus grand more important than the loyal fans who came from day one?  

What would Elvis think?

The public touring Graceland was told numerous times, the hotel prices would be Super 8 prices. 

What a load of shite!

Tourists come and go. Casual fans come and go but die hard, loyal fans come every year once, twice or even more!  

If EPE doesn't say Thank You to you, I will! 

As a loyal fan myself,  I know without us, this would never happen.

And I hope EPE recognizes the loyal fans who save all year round to come once a year or twice or more. Even if they did not invest 20 grand in the founders membership. 
Because Elvis would recognize ALL. (but he also would have never lied to his fans).  
Elvis fans are everyday Americans and the hotel prices are far too much for average fans. 
What are their alternatives? hooker hotels?

There will be fans who praise all things EPE. And fans who do not understand this is beyond the expense to the average fan. Not all fans have a husband who left us money, or wives who make big bucks. Remember, But for the grace of God, there go I.

Being an Elvis fan from the age of three, knowing all I know about him, I do not think he would be happy about the prices for Elvis fans. And I do understand this was an expensive project. But let's not forget they told us time and time AND TIME again, the room rates would be Super 8 rates.

I know fans who invested the 20 plus grand and they don't have it. They are hard working folks. Geez, that would break Elvis' heart!

And I have heard the comments on Elvis radio in interviews with Jack Soden calling Elvis fans - negative, negative, negative. WOW! That's an amazing way to steer your customers elsewhere.

But again Soden told the AP , Elvis was not reverent in Vegas. WOW! That's the way to sell your brand? Or SELL OUT?

 "Vegas really is, ironically, a challenging market for Elvis," said Jack Soden

At the end of the day, I think the new complex is awesome! It is much needed!

Recent owners, take note, stop lying to your customers, and do not let anyone call your customers negative or your product "challenging".

I say it as I see it, good, bad or ugly. I am always honest. I don't kiss ass!
