According to Mandy Hoskison from Vegas.com, "The museum is divided into two separate buildings, one holds the piano and car galleries, and the other showcases the elaborate costumes, jewelry, awards, plus a replica of Liberace's bedroom. Along with a café and a gift shop, the showroom is also located there.
The costume gallery, once a rehearsal space for Liberace, features mirrored walls that allow a 360-degree view of the amazing and detailed wardrobes that are on display. The progression of costumes is portrayed, from a simple gold lame suit to absolutely stunning costumes like the infamous red, white and blue hot pants outfit, the “Lasagna” suit, the “King Neptune” (200-plus pounds of pink feathers tailored for a New Orleans gig) and the Blackglama mink cape with 500 mink tails dangling from it. You will gawk in amazement at the fun fashion sense of Liberace, as the knowledgeable tour guides enthusiastically explain pieces and enrich the experience with stories." Source: (
