Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, Las Vegas
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, situated in Paradise, Nevada, on the famous Las Vegas Strip at The Venetian Las Vegas casino resort, is a renowned wax museum. It made its debut in 1999 as the inaugural Madame Tussauds venue in the United States. The museum showcases an impressive collection of over 100 lifelike wax figures, featuring celebrities, iconic film and TV characters, revered athletes, talented musicians, and beloved Marvel superheroes. Additionally, the attraction boasts a captivating 4D movie theater to further enhance the visitor experience.
Crafting a wax figure is an intricate process that typically spans four to six months. To begin, the attraction conducts surveys to determine which celebrities to include. Researchers then delve deep into gathering extensive information about the chosen individuals, including details about their hairstyles, distinctive facial expressions, and fashion preferences. When feasible, the celebrities themselves may even pay a visit to the talented stylists at Madame Tussauds. During these sessions, over 150 precise measurements and 200 photographs are taken, while an oil-based paint is applied to achieve a lifelike skin complexion. It's worth noting that the figures are not composed solely of wax; clay and steel are also utilized in their construction.
Some celebrities have actively participated in the creation of their wax counterparts. For instance, Gwen Stefani collaborated closely with the in-house team at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas to ensure her wax figure perfectly embodied her distinctive style. Similarly, Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas generously donated one of her dresses to be showcased in the museum.
Why You Should Visit:
To be amazed by the realistic wax figures, get the ultimate fame experience and have lots of fun!
Tip:
You can find plenty of opportunities to get admission discount coupons online, but you can get cheaper tickets at the Venetian box office right next door.
