Cheslie Kryst of North Carolina was crowned Miss USA 2019 last May 2. The Miss USA competition will be held Nov. 9 at Graceland. Organized to be "an innovative event that prioritizes the health and safety of the contestants, audience, and crew," the nationally televised pageant and related events will take place in the Exhibition Center and the Soundstage at Graceland, two concert-and-event spaces located at the Elvis Presley's Memphis complex across the street from the Presley mansion. The Miss USA event will be preceded on Nov. 7 by its younger sibling pageant, the Miss Teen USA competition, for young women ages 14-19. This will mark a return visit to Memphis for Miss Teen USA: The second pageant in the competition's history was held at the old Memphis Cook Convention Center on April 3, 1984. The contestants will arrive in Memphis days before the competition, where they and their entourages will be ensconced at The Guest House at Graceland hotel. Prior to the page
