| - If I hadn't been in Vegas with my friend I likely wouldn't have done Madame Tussauds. It's just not my thing, but my friend suggested it as something to do on our last day, and it ended up being a lot of fun. The museum I think costs $16/person, but if you head to the Tix 4 Tonight kiosks you could half price tickets like we did.
We went in the morning when it wasn't too busy, but I think it could get much busier as the day goes on. You wander through the museum and you can see various wax figures of celebrities, musicians, athletes, as well as Vegas celebs (like Sigfried and Roy, and Liberace). There was also a super hero exhibit at the very end, but most of it's still under construction.
This is just a fun place to visit and snap cheesy photos posing with celebrities (as well as remark "wow I didn't know he/she was that short/tall/thin/large"). They have little plaque cards besides the figures with some info about the person there, but really you don't want to read a plaque about Shaq, you just want to take a photo next to the Shaw wax figure.
At the very end there's a 4D movie, based on the superhero exhibit. It was fun, but my friend (who's been to Madame Tussauds in NYC) said it's the same one she saw there, so if you've been to Madame Tussauds before you can skip this. Actually you could probably skip the museum entirely; I have a feeling 99% of the exhibits are pretty much the same from one Madame Tussauds to another. Still it was a fun way to kill an hour.
