Liberace’s transported audiences to a dazzling world of color, glitter and music.
Liberace’s ledged lives on in The Liberace Museum that houses his collection of rare antique pianos, classic cars, bejeweled costumes and beautiful furs and rings.
The museum is so large it is divided into two areas. Building one houses the pianos and cars. There is a lot of each. One car is completely covered with tiny mirror squares to name one of the more extreme ones. Building two houses costumes, furs coats, and jewelry collections.
The Liberace Museum is located at 1775 E. Tropicana Ave.
This is something you will want to see the next time you are in Las Vegas.
I could not believe the complete squander of money, but he had it to do as he pleased. It is still very interesting to see how the other half live.
