    Last trip, I was on business with my mother. She insisted that we find the Liberace Museum. At the time, it was in a strip mall, occupying two shop spaces, and you had to exit one to get in to the other. I just read another VT tip that said they've recently remodeled -- we'll have to check it out on our next visit.

    This place is truly weird. I mean, it's sweet, but it's kinda weird too. As was Liberace... ya know?

    Following Bellagio with its art gallery, The Venetian has an outpost of New York's Guggenheim Museum. [In collaboration with St. Petersburg's famous Hermitage] This is actually very appropriate as there is also a branch in the REAL Venice. Shows vary. There are discounts for seniors and local residents, although it is free if you are staying at The Venetian.

    The Liberace Museum, 1775 E. Tropicana, Las Vegas. Open Mon-Sat 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

    I love this place and it just got a huge facelift (Liberace would be proud) and is worth the 6 or 7 bucks admission. Everything you ever wanted to know about the man that made the boa such a cool male accessory.

    The Liberace Museum has had a complete face lift recently. A museum filled with cars, candelabra's, piano's, jewelry, and the 6,000sf costume gallery. Also the home to a 50-pound rhinestone. It is definitely worth a visit, if just to check out the flamboyant costumes and life that was "Liberace". A rotating display of his costumes filled with furs, sequins, feathers, and beads.

    Who would have guessed that we would see a fine exhibit of Rubens paintings in Vegas? However, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum in the Venetian Hotel is in partnership with the Hermitage in St. Petersburg and the New York Guggenheim and presents a series of works from these two institutions. When we visited they had a small but excellent selection of about 50 works from the Hermitage’s collection of Flemish baroque paintings and decorative arts with Rubens as the featured artist. It is well worth the admission of $19.50 (Seniors $15.00, Students $12.50 and children 6-12 $9.50). Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily.

    Can you find things besides gambling to do in Vegas? You can bet on it. The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art has exhibits from world class artists. When we were there they had an Impressionist collection from the Museum of Fine Arts Boston which was small but excellent. They recently opened an exhibit of Ansel Adams photographs as well as other personal items. The Gallery is in the Bellagio Hotel and is a great change of pace from the usual glitz, glamor and noise of Vegas.

    The gallery is open 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, including weekends and holidays. Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students. Audio tours are available in English, French, Japanese and Spanish.

    It reads: In 1855 President Brigham Young appointed a company of men under the leadership of William Bringhurst to establish a colony at Las Vegas. The company left Salt Lake May 10 and arrived at Las Vegas June 14, 1855 and camped near this site. William Bringhurst was appointed President, WM.S. Convert, and Ira S. Miles counselors. Sunday June 17, they built a bowery and held their first religious services. The next day they began to build the fort, 150 square feet, 14 feet high, 2 feet wide at the base, and 1 foot at the top.

    It reads: A Midpoint Way Station on the Mormon Road. In April 1855, Brigham Young, President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, called thirty men to leave their families and possessions in the recently settled towns of Utah to serve a mission at the Las Vegas Springs. The verdant meadows watered by the springs had been seasonally inhabited by the Paiute Indians for centuries. The water and the meadows made Las Vegas an important stop on the Spanish Trail (called the Mormon Road after 1848).

    President Young directed this group of newly called missionaries to become self-sufficient, to provide a place of rest and security for travelers between California and Salt Lake City, and to teach the Indians the gospel of Jesus Christ. In the heat of the summer, in June 1855, the missionaries arrived at this site. The mission, intended to be permanent, was the first Anglo-American settlement in Las Vegas Valley.

    By summer’s end their irrigated gardens were producing fresh vegetables and grains. A new fort was under construction, and a spirit of cooperation and mutual learning was being established with the native inhabitants. They also discovered a deposit of lead ore in the nearby mountains. More missionaries were sent to smelt the complex ore in large quantities, but the attempt was unsuccessful. 23 February 1857 Church leaders sent word to the settlement that the mission was to be disbanded. These early pioneers returned to Utah but left a legacy of faith, devotion, and service shown by their willingness to settle in this hostile environment.

    Erected on 1997 by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. John Steele

    It reads: John Steele, one of the original LDS missionaries, secured a mail grant for Las Vegas mission. The documents to establish the post office, and appointing William Bringhurst postmaster, were brought from Salt Lake City by Benjamin H. Hulse January 10, 1856. This office was continued until the mission was abandoned in 1857. Mr. Steele acted as postmaster under President Bringhurst.

    The town of Overton is located about 15 miles north of Valley of the Fire State Park. Here you will find the Lost City Museum and Ruins. The museum has artifacts of the Anasazi culture who lived in the area. The ruins are a portion of the ancient civilization which was uncovered during World War Two.

    For more information on the Lost City Museum, see my Overton page.
