If you have no sense of humor, or one who supresses your appreciation for outrageous tack- OR you are in Vegas to Hang out with Paris Hilton and high rollers, then I wouldn't bother coming. There are also many little ol' ladies and Middle Americans wearing animals on their sweatshirts without a hint of irony. If those types are going to bother you, don't come.
BUT! If you love glitter and mirrors and feathers and fabulousness, this is a must see.
The BF and I did a self-guided tour, so I cannot vouch for the quality of one of the tours that run at 11am and 2pm. My fierce friend, who is a local who has taken the tour, says the tour guides are cryptkeeper terrifying. He highly recommends the not going to the guided tour.
The place is $15 for admission, but the desk clerk said they run sooo many special offers and discounts that she couldn't keep them all straight. I'm 'a fan' with the Liberace Foundation on Facebook, and that afforded us a buy-one-get-one free admission to the museum, just with a verbal mention of said fandom. I would recommend trying to not pay full price if possible.
Some negatives: I was watched like a hawk in the gift shop,and was treated like a burden upon making a purchase. Luckily, im used to that because I live in Portland. Also, the BF and I got scolded by an old crone for looking a bit too long at the restaurant/stage facility where tribute shows appear to take place near the gift shop. She can suck it.
Overall, this was a beautifully garish museum that catered to short attention spans like my own-- a good way to kill an hour.
