Planning a trip to Memphis

I have a business trip coming up - any suggestions on sights to see, stuff to do. More importantly - any suggestions on restaurants because I'm planning at least a couple of cheat days!

Rendevous is Awesome.....if you like steak......the Butchers Block downtown behind Dillards is good .....

if you have company..the melting pot ..its a fondue place..takes about 2 hours for a meal but really an experience....thats great for couples..its by the galeria on I-40

avoid Corky's....too many food poisioning cases.....

you can allways go to graceland and get ya a t-shirt lmao.....
BB King's Blues club
Memphis Rock and Soul Museum
Peabody Place....wonderful shopping....
the Pink Place is good too....its got a great IMAX theater and many exibits

and theres always Tunica just across the river.....Casinos galore...
and you know Casinos have .....great resutrants....My personal favorite is in Fitzgeralds Casino & Hotel its called Limericks Steak House they have steaks of course and sea food....but you need a reservation...but really worth it..

one adult ticket for graceland is 27 bucks....and what a waste...Graceland website
If you like blues...i really would recommend ..BB Kings place he frequents there and walks around talking to people..... Last time i was on beale street....he was there at his club playing and it was really awesome....
