Madame Tausaud's Wax Museum, Las Vegas

Madam Tussaud's (correct spelling) Wax Museum at the Venecian Hotel is a MUST see. The detail put into the wax pieces allowes them to look ALIVE!! I kept expecting the wax figures to start moving! There is a section of the museum that displays figures in various stages of completion so you can get the idea of how they are created.

My favorite figures were Brad Pitt, Bono, Shirley McClaine and Princess Diana. There were actually two Princess Diana figures on display.

The displays are interactive. You can touch and sit next to the figures all you want. Jennifer Lopez's cheek would turn red when you rubbed her bum. Yea, like that would really happen. The Madonna and George Bush figures were not very realistic, maybe they didn't pose for Madam Tussaud's.

I felt very sorry for the employees working the museum. We would enter a room and no one would be in there except the was life-like figures and the one employee. A couple friendly employees started up converstaions and I couldn't help feeling that they must be extremely lonely in a room with no live people all day except when the occasional LIVE being walks through.

Kind of tacky-but lots of fun. Pose with your favorite celebrities and then take the pictures back home and tell your friends that you met them at a nightclub or saw them at the Palms. I have a great picture of me making out with Bruce Springsteen. My best friend had one of her made pinching Harrison Ford's butt. Great fun!

For those who don't have the ability to mingle with A-list celebrities, Madame Tussuad's in Las Vegas will give you the closest opportunity to do as such. Located at the Venetian Hotel & Casino, it's based upon waxworks of famous figures, historical and today's contemporary celebrity. The original started in London (which I also went to) and now there's branches of Madame Tussaud's all over the world. This was the first one to be based in America, followed by New York later on. The entry fee is a little pricey, however, you can usually find a coupon that'll get you at least 10% off in some Las Vegas ads. It's 25 USD entry for an adult. Seniors are 18 USD, and kids are 15 USD.

Tousand’s wax museum. There is a coupon in those booklets you can find everywhere and some of the people look incredibly real while there is also a large array of people to see. Located at the Venetian is a nice break from the sun and gambling. Big dissapointment: My man Mel Gibson didnt look anything like him. For those of you with a George Clooney crush, you can marry him in the chapel.

This a cool place and when we went here there weren’t very many people so the place was kind of creepy. Many of the wax sculptures were so life like and captured a very good representation of the celebrity it was molded after. It was kind of neat to know how tall or short some of the celebrities are.

The famous Madame Tussauds has come to Las Vegas. An interactive wax museum where you are encouraged to become part of the scene. All of your favorite sports figures, musicians, pop stars and political types. Feel free to golf with Tiger, sing with Simon, lounge with Hugh, and marry George! The displays change often to keep it interesting.

Be sure and grab a discount coupon in any of the local Vegas magazines, and don't forget the camera. The photo ops are endless.

The wax figures at Mme. Tussauds are so realistic it's sometimes hard to determine which are and are not real people. This is an interactive museum as well, so you can touch and have your photo taken with the statues. $24 is the adult price to get in, but you may find coupons in the entertainment books given out by the cab drivers. They also have an optional "haunted house" to go through, where Freddy Kruger, Jason & Leatherface just might not be made of wax. ;) FYI though, photos are NOT allowed in the hautned house.

I really enjoyed this. Its better than other wax museams. You can actually touch the figures. I laid on a bed and had my picture taken with Hugh Hiefner! Elvis held my hand! I know its all fake but it was fun. I wish it was bigger. Even my husband liked it. Get a coupon!
