Liberace Museum - Las Vegas - Culture & Travel - On Voyage.tv

Filed under: travel to Las Vegas — Tags: , , , , , , , , — admin @ 11:51 pm

“Liberace might not been the first showman to grace the Las Vegas stage, but he was definitely the most extravagant. A trip to the Liberace Museum is in order for those who want to see evidence of his flamboyance firsthand. Opened to the public in 1979 by the man who knew more about decadence than Marie Antoinette, Liberaces former home is a fantastic candy store of luxury and absurdity. Known for his stage antics, irreverent classical piano pieces, slick pompadour and Mozart-meets-Elvis attire, Liberace was both a beloved and ridiculed performer whose legend has become practically synonymous with Sin City. A fun and indulgent Las Vegas attraction, the museum is divided into two sections, one of which contains the pianists famous collection of highly decorated pianos. Among the collection are his favorite, a mirror-plated 9-foot concert grand, and a piano that belonged to American composer George Gershwin. Also housed in the first section are Liberaces signature custom-built cars, which he would drive on stage as part of his grand entrance. Theres even a mirror-plated Rolls Royce to match his favorite piano. The second section of the Liberace Museum is home to an array of Liberaces more bizarre stage gear, including a gigantic red velvet Christmas suit and a 200-pound Neptune costume, among other fascinating ruffles, sequins, feathers and flared legs. Theres also a re-creation of Liberaces Palm Springs bedroom and a showcase of his numerous awards. For all of his

Modern Times Wonders LAS VEGAS STRIP

Filed under: travel to Las Vegas — Tags: , , , , , , , , , — admin @ 2:35 pm

MTW-DVD-107 - A frenetic neon mirage in the desert: that’s the Las Vegas Strip!

A pyramid looms up from this desert haven, guarded by a sphinx. An excursion in ancient Egypt? No, it’s the Luxor Hotel, one of the many magnificent illusions in this amazing city.

Behind the façade of a medieval castle, the Excalibur Resort contains more than 4000 rooms in a mind-boggling blend of the Arthurian legend and spectacular kitsch. The casino is entered via the Brooklyn Bridge and with an intense screeching and whirling a double loop roller coaster winds its way over the heads of spectators and through the residential quarters of New York.

The Venetian is a superlative hotel and with its 6,600 spacious suites it is the largest hotel in the world. The rooms are furnished according to Venetian tradition and original paintings decorate the ceilings.

In the Eiffel Tower there’s a gourmet restaurant with a fabulous view over the Strip plus a section of the Paris Opera House and next to it a magnificent replica of the Arc De Triomphe.

This flashing galaxy of multi-coloured neon soon makes one forget the dusty rocky desert landscape which surrounds this fascinating city which is synonymous with entertainment, amusement and just about every dollar dream that is waiting to be turned into reality!
