Long Description: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:
