Liberace Museum
Museums / Galleries, East Side
Fodor's Review:
If you're out to find the kitschiest place in town, this is the jackpot: here you'll find costumes, cars, photographs, even mannequins of the late entertainer. It's one of the most entertaining tributes you'll ever experience. The masterfully flamboyant pianist, who died in 1987 at age 67, opened the museum in 1979. And although it's set in a humdrum shopping center away from the Strip, it's worth the trip to admire "Mr. Showmanship's" trippy collectibles and memorabilia. In addition to Lee's collection of pianos (one of them was played by Chopin; another, a concert grand, was owned by George Gershwin), you can see his Czar Nicholas uniform and a blue-velvet cape styled after the coronation robes of King George V. Be sure to check out the gift shop -- where else can you find Liberace soap, ashtrays, and candelabras?
