The museum displays more then 100 wax replicas of well-known celebrities, from Don King to Julia Roberts. The figures are very detailed so sometimes you might have problems distinguishing them from the guests. Some of the figures are dressed in clothing which was worn by the celebrities themselves.
There are several themed exhibits, one of them being “Spirit of America”. You can take photos with George Washington, John F. Kennedy (with Jacqueline), Abraham Lincoln and George W. Bush. If you want to see the Las Vegas entertainers you can take photos with Wayne Newton, Frank Sinatra or Liberace.
If you want to see the “The King in Concert” you can take photos with Elvis holding your hand. Of course you can try your luck at poker alongside Ben Affleck. And if you dreamed to marry George Clooney just put on a wedding gown at “Marry Clooney” and have your picture taken with him at the altar.
Hugh Hefner can be also visited. You can also get scared by the monsters or have your picture taken with auto racing icons.
Best of all, the museum adds new attractions to keep it new and exciting so no matter how many times you’ll visit it, it will still have something new for everyone.
