I was at the Cosmopolitan on Wednesday, just passing through, and noticed they had a Liberace exhibit by the entrance on the Bellagio side. It isn't nearly as big as the old Liberace museum, but this one is at least well-located and free. There was one piano, about a dozen outfits, and videos of old Liberace footage. Plus, there was a rhinestone covered car just outside the exhibit, which I forgot to take a photo of.

Below are some of the pictures from the experience. The young man who took these photos of me was very nice, following me around and suggesting various shots. Why are women never this nice to me?

Nice pictures, looking good Mike but I prefer the models you use in your hotel reviews and teaching gambling videos :-)

Thanks, and I agree. I hope you like busty Asian women for my next shoot.

Staying at Cosmo starting Tuesday and actually would enjoy seeing this. The HBO Movie with Michael Douglas and Matt Damon was actually good. He was an interesting person to say the least.

I recall seeing a rhinestone-encrusted car when Doc was showing me around the Cosmo, but not the rest of the exhibit. At that, he might have mentioned it and I paid it little mind.

It is good that there is at least some vestige of his legacy for us to look at.

I wonder what we'll get to gawk at when Wayne Newton passes?

His jet?

His sunken yacht?

What price celebrity.

When I was last at the Cosmopolitan, the car was near the escalators beside the "chandelier". I included a photo of it in my Cosmopolitan review. I have not seen the museum, and perhaps the car has been repositioned.

Mummification?

If someone got a good taxidermist they could be first Vegas celebrity mummy. Then they could use that pyramid building for something appropriate.

I assume you meant to say "flute" and I dont feel that is an appropriate comment, nor do I see it as funny.

That was completely inappropriate. Given your previous four suspensions and overall behavior over 1,739 posts, I think it is time to say goodbye. You're nuked.

I can't believe you got to this first!

I'm saying it, anyway:

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Was he nuked for insulting a dead guy who was never a member of this forum or was it for the silly, childish comment that is heard in every middle school? Regardless, I don't think there will be any objections to this ruling.

All I know about him is the image, because I don't think I know his music and have never heard it on the radio.
