Wax Celebrities and Scares in Las Vegas
At one time, the only way to see one of Madame Tussauds’ wax creations was to travel to the United Kingdom and make your way down Baker Street in London. If you’re in the United States, whether you’re on the East Coast or West, you may see a Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York and Washington D.C. or Hollywood and Las Vegas. Each museum draws from its local surroundings, as well as traditional wax figures. Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Las Vegas is especially interesting, adding an interactive twist to the wax creations, featuring everyone from the President of the United States, to Hollywood celebrities, and famous Las Vegas magicians.
The museum contains a wax figure of the President Barack Obama, his arms folded, standing behind his desk in a partial recreation of the Oval Office. It’s possible to sit in a replica of the chair in the most powerful office on the planet. Among the celebrities, you’ll find comedienne and two time Emmy award winner Kathy Griffin, who stars in her own television program on Bravo, titled Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List. You can now find her wax figure among A-List celebrities, such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Madonna, and Britney Spears. You’ll also find here Criss Angel , magician and star of a magic show at the Luxor hotel, titled Believe. Some of the figures you’re even invited to touch, such as Jennifer Lopez or J-Lo, who will blush if anyone should grope her lower cheeks. Certainly, wax museums have changed from the days in which you could only look from a distance.
Most recently, Madame Tussauds Las Vegas has added a permanent scare maze to its attraction, titled “Scream! One Way Out.” The theme of the maze reads like an old horror movie. Visitors are warned that they’re going to go into the Neveda State Institute of Wax (NSIX), where researchers conducted horrifying experiments with the criminally insane, killers who were once all workers in the secret army base, Area 51. The implication is that these killers are now looking for someone else to kill: The guests who choose to enter this exhibit. The London Madame Tussauds certainly didn’t have an exhibit like this one when I was there. After this experience, you might be ready to lie down for a while in any one of a number of great rooms , from New York, New York, Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas, or the Venetian (where Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is located).
