Las Vegas: Attractions: Liberace Museum
Viva Liberace
Written by Kyle Shields
Who represents the glitz and glam of Las Vegas better than the late Liberace?
That’s
why when you’re in Las Vegas you must pay a visit to the Liberace
Museum. It’s all things Liberace and a fitting tribute to the flashy
pianist and showman. Here you’ll find plenty of rhinestone-studded,
fur-draped costumes and spectacular “bling” that only Liberace could
wear. There are 18 rare and antique pianos on display in the piano
gallery, including a rhinestone-encrusted Baldwin grand.
You also must see Liberace’s favorite piano, a fantastic concert grand covered entirely in glittering mirror squares. Another incredible sight is the hand-painted red, white and blue Rolls-Royce convertible. There’s also another Rolls-Royce covered in mirrored tiles and etched with a design of galloping horses.
You can even wander through a sparkling recreation of Liberace’s master bedroom from his Palm Springs, Calif., estate. For your dining and shopping pleasure there’s a small café and a gift shop.
The Liberace Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
Admission prices are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors 65+ and students.
