Good cheesy fun as it's best!
Like many others, I've always wanted to pay Madame Tussauds a visit but either schedule didn't permit or the peeps I came with would give me the eye roll as if I was the lamest person on earth. But lucky for me, I found someone equally as lame to finally share my visit! I mean that in a good way hubby. ;)
Half-Off Ticket booths rock! I love not having to pay full price. When you first enter, you are greeted by Whoopie Goldberg. As we took the escalator ride up it reminded me of the intro to the Space Mountain ride at Disneyland.
Hey, is it me or does Justin Timberlake look an awful lot like Brian Austin Green? Just an observation:
http://static3.px.yelp...
From there, we proceeded to take cheesy photos of/with JLo (who was significantly thinner and had minimal ass-ets), Hef, Jenna Jameson (hubs was all over that one), Cameron Diaz, Jodie Foster, and more. I have to agree with Jenny R. about Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts having no resemblance to themselves whatsover--in fact, I was like, "is that Hilary Swank? With long hair?" Moving on...
I kind of a cringed a little at the American Idol experience but was quickly distracted when I saw the Lenny Kravitz wax figure across the room. Really disappointed when I saw him in all of his lackluster glory but oh well. He's much hotter in person :) Prince looked exactly like Prince... http://static2.px.yelp...
...and I could've sworn that was the real Britney Spears staring back at me. I thought hers was the most realistic out of the bunch.
Overall fun experience, especially with the scare factory added in. Good times!

I finally broke down and had the Madame Tussaud's experience. It not that I was consciously avoiding it, but the experience never seemed to happen. Fortunately, with some friends in town, I found my perfect excuse.
We got in for a $10 local's price, which is more than worth the price of what you get to see. The museum is set up really well, with scenarios allowing museum goers to "play" with the wax statues. They make the posing fun and more interactive.
The sculptures themselves are good. There are others that are so eerily lifelike that you'll feel the need to do a double take. Jessica Simpson is one. So is Patrick Stewart. And Prince. It's a little disarming, because for the split second you'll see a statue just standing there, and you'll subconsciously register it as another physical presence. It's a weird feeling, but if you experience it, my description will become more clear.
They even have a horror walk room, like those fun houses you experience around Halloween, or when you were a kid. Why, oh why did my friends declare me group leader? It's not that I was so much scared, but you're always the first one to get a spooker right in your face, or the one who gets grabbed in fear. Thanks, guys. No really.
They have an interesting Las Vegas room, full of all the people who have built up the town, and a political figures room. You can find just about anybody of even remote importance to photograph in here.
The disappointment was the gift shop, as nothing really related to the attraction was in there. The most interest came from me knocking over a tub of high bounce balls, which flew all over the store. I tried to make light of it as I scooped up a dozen high-flying, glitter filled spheres, telling the sales lady that I just wanted to make her day more exciting. She looked at me as if I were dead to her. Sheesh.
But it's fun to look and play here, and for the current $10 price (it apparently goes up to $18 for locals after Labor Day, FYI), you more than get your money's worth.

YAY! I finally came to this place! I've been dying to come here and finally finally I came last week! Its so fun how you can touch the wax figures and take pictures with them! Super fun! This is not your ordinary boring ole wax museum! These are celebrities made out of wax and they look pretty darn real too! The wax museum we have in San Francisco sucks it's really boring and you can't touch the figures and I don't remember if you could take pictures of them. Either way it sucked so 5 stars for madame tussauds!
There was this scary thing where you walked through it and people come out and scare you. The man standing in the entrance looked like a wax figure so I was walking up to him to snap a picture and he moved and I of course screamed my head off and ran into the next room. Then the boyfriend forced me to walk through that scary thing with him and 2 other strangers. I swear I almost peed in my pants because one of the people jumped out and started breathing down my neck! ahh!
This is a good place to visit in Vegas! Very fun!
People thought this was:
I love this place! Pretty much my favorite thing to do in Vegas. Pricewise, you can get $5 off coupons in the books that are free in the cabs or on their website so it's only $20. The Shaq figure is huge! It really is an interactive experience...you can get up close and personal with the figures and can touch/grab them all over except for their head/facial region. My old favorite was the Rock who is now outside and free to pose with. Not sure who my new fav is....maybe Hef or the fact that you can stick your neck in the tiger's mouth at the Seigfreid and Roy station. Put aside an hour or two for this place whenever you're in the area and you won't be disappointed.
So. Much. Fun.
Somehow I've managed to not visit Madame Tussauds on any of my other many trips to Vegas. I finally popped in last weekend when my boyfriend and I were staying at the Venetian. It was ridiculously fun. From Hollywood and Vegas legends to sports heroes to more recent a-list celebs to America's founding fathers, the wax museum has everyone you could want to see cast in wax. The figures are placed in pretty cool surroundings with enough props and in enough wacky poses to really make them fun. Bring your camera and get ready to pose for cheesy photos.
Again, def. check out the ticket discount booths located throughout the Strip for cheaper tix for this fun place. yes, it is a wax musem filled with all the celebs you can handle. It is interesting to see that a lot of them are either shorter than you thought (Prince, Jessica Simpson, Jodi foster, JLO) or much taller (all the Bonds). take funny or crazy pictures with Hef, a half nekkid Jenna Jameson, or take dance pictures spanking your ass with beyonce. Lotsa fun. You wont be disappoined.
I havent been here in years... nice place to chill for a while and not loose money in the casino (yikes!)
I think its kinda small but def. fun!
People thought this was:
I went here this past weekend with my boyfriend while we were in Vegas. For the most part all the wax statues look like the celebrities themselves.
I had to knock of a couple of stars though: One for the almost white looking Beyonce figure, and another for the fact that folks had to pay extra money to take a picture with President Obama's figure. Booo!
Anywho, it's a nice attraction to go to in order to get away from all the gambling. We had fun.
We were planning our trip to Las Vegas when I ran across the description of Madame Tussauds in Frommers...what sold us was the promise that one could "fondle J.Lo's butt"...yes, that's a direct quote. Not that we would want to do that, mind you, but another friend in our traveling group would.
Madame Tussauds didn't disappoint. In a world where production shows confiscate cameras, and an errant shot in a casino can get you ejected, this is one of the few indoor venues in Las Vegas where photography is not just allowed, but downright encouraged. That in itself is worth the rather steep pricetag.
All the figures are lifesized and painstakingly measured to look like the celebrity depicted, or at least somewhat like the celebrity. We had a whale of time sizing ourselves up to the celebrities, and getting photo ops that you wouldn't get anywhere else.
Sadly, Ms. Lopez' likeness was under repair when we were there, but a rather fair-skinned version of Beyonce stood in for her. My friend was satisfied. :)
I had a fun time here.
It had been years and years and years since my last trip to a wax museum, so the complimentary tickets we had were very, very worth it. The line moved rapidly and, in minutes, I was standing next to Indiana Jones. And Johnny Deppy. And Brangelina.
AND LIBERACE! Hello... I think I gave this place an extra star just for Liberace! AWESOME!
There was a nice Michael Jackson memorial set up at the entrance, and people had left cards, teddy bears and flowers. I got to say my goodbyes to Michael, and have the picture to prove it. I think leaving him teddy bears is a bit dodgy, but hey, who am I to suggest that memorializing him sans kid toys is the way to go?
Anyway, the wax figures were fun, some more lifelike than others. I like all the photo ops that the museum has set up, and the interactive displays. The scary "Scream" thing did, indeed, make me scream. And the person behind me grabbed my shoulders so tight that they're still sore. No, not the actors - much like the sign, they were hands off.
It's worth a visit if you have a discount. The regular price - $25 for adults - felt quite steep to me, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay it. We were in and out in an hour.
Last, we engaged in the "are wax museums cool or are they creepy?" debate. My conclusion? Wax museums are creepy cool!
People thought this was:
I never been to a Wax Museum before my visit here and I gotta admit it was fun and worth it. Even better that every magazine I picked up had a coupon for this place so it was a definite must on the trip. I was also in town when Micheal Jackson passed away so I got to see the MJ tribute display they put outside for everyone.
What I really like about this place are those extra props they have with some of the statues, like a golf club with Tiger Woods, the checkered flag with Dale Earnhardt and so on. Also all the crazy pictures you can take with the figures like of coarse standing behind J-Lo and grabbing her ass and watching like 2 or 3 other people behind you do the same thing.
For the most part they do a good job on most of the celebs but then you got a couple that look way off like Oprah for example, straight up looked like they punched her face mold in a couple of times before the wax dried off.
Only thing I could've done without is that they have some random person there trying to sell you tickets to shows/tours and dinners right near the exit so you gotta put up with that nonsense right before you leave. Other then that though, good times!
its true.
even in wax form, Salma Hayek, J-Lo, and Marilyn Monroe all give me a BONER.
People thought this was:
Some of the figures are so well done that when you stand next to them, you start to think they'll come alive at any second. This is especially true with the Patrick Stewart and Daniel Craig...the Johnny Depp is pretty good. Some of them however aren't as good, like the Frank Sinatra. The tickets are pricey but it's a good time especially making fun of the figures after you've had a few drinks.
I have never been to a wax museum before and I have to say I had a blast. Some of these figures look so much like the real people it's quite scary. Well not really. Go check this place out. It's better than losing money in the casinos.
I love this place and could stay here for hours. The only gripe I have is all the female and some of the male wax figures are much thinner than the person is in real life. This is probably for a reason, that being the actual celebrity has to approve the figure before it's put on display. Wassup wit dat? Other than that it's pretty cool to be able to get your picture taken with that many celebrities at one time. Most look pretty freakin' real. There is an interactive house of horrors if you like that kind of crap....not me!!! Overall, it's a good way to spend an evening if you have the time. Highly recommended!!!!

Interactive wax museum? You bet your sweet ass I'm going to love it! I was here back in November 2008 during my birthday weekend. It cost about $21.95 for adult admission, you get a student discount if you present your student ID.
It's fun taking pictures with all the figures and thinking of different poses. My boyfriend thought of all the creative ones! I did agree with one Yelper's comment on the wax figures being "glorified mannequins", hahah! Some of the figures don't look like the celebs that they are supposed to be. Jennifer Lopez looked more like Kathy Griffin and her ass was reduced by a lot!
The best part was the "extra" interactive horror area. Hella scary ass shit but don't be chicken, you must participate!
Definitely add this to your agenda if you're visiting Las Vegas.
People thought this was:
What can I say? I have a thing for seeing wax figures, even if I was traumatized for life by the one in Hollywood at the tender age of 6. Elvira looked dead real! Well, dead alive...wat.
On the other hand, Jeff L. is still deadly afraid of wax figurines resembling people he would otherwise gawk at if they were that close in real life. For me, it provides an opportunity to pose in rude ways to people who have more money then me. That or sexy ways, it depends. Michael Jackson still kind of scares me.
All of this said and done, a las the pictures of this momentous occasion are no longer with me since my computer got stolen the month before and I didn't back them up. I only have the one of me and Hugh Hefner to prove...nothing.
People thought this was:
Trust me if you have never been here you should definately check it out, but keep in mind that your first time should be your last time checking it out! I came here couple years ago with a friend of mines and nothing really has changed other than the fact of couple new people and with Shaq in a Phoenix jersey rather than a Miami jersey, thats it!
I would only recommend people to check this place out probably once every 5 years or so.
Does anyone else feel like these wax figures are just glorified mannequins? Talk about overhyped.
I was really underwhelmed by this place when I came here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend. I felt like most of the wax figures were obviously not realistic, and in addition the museum was dusty, dingy and dirty! It's probably because it gets so much foot traffic, but it could definitely use a spring (and fall) cleaning.
Also, there was this random "scare factory" type exhibit thing that you walk through, and people jump out at you and scream and randomly bang on things. They also have wax figures in there, and in the dark you can't tell if its a wax figure or a real person about to scare you. I don't know if it was a temporary thing for halloween, but it was random as a mofo, I'll tell you that.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you're with easily amused (and fooled) small children.

Went to Las Vegas on a girls trip. Decided to stop by Madame Tussauds before dinner because we had 2 For 1 coupons. I thought it was going to be a waste of time, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! We all did the American Idol interactive - and laughed ourselves silly. We have some great photos with Hugh Hefner, George Clooney, and of course Johnny Depp. Do it. It's a blast.
You can get the free coupons from http://www.destination...
Ever wanted to say something to I don't know George Bush. Or Brad Pitt for being so damn....awesome? Or Angelina? Yeah Madame tussauds is the place.
It's two stories of interactiveness. There is the blue man group. There is hugh hefner. Jenna Jameson. I mean it was insane walking though. For a moment in on room there were so many people. I don't know how to describe it. But it was freaky. But a good freaky.
Madame tussauds is great but please bring a camera.
For those on a budget there are coupons all over the vegas magazines!
Also the scary thing. Geez people. It's fun and it's year round.
If you come to this one. Note that there are other Madame Tussauds around the world. I've been to a few of them and none of them are the same. It's a fun way to experience culture.
People thought this was:
Smaller than New York's version, but roughly the same price. Still, the concept of a wax museum filled with celebrities that encourages you to take pictures is too good to avoid.
Four stars and a hearty recommendation for this place. I love it.
People thought this was:
This place is really fun for people who have always wanted to take wacky photos with their favorite celebrities or just take wacky photos in general.
They provide you with props for certain "celebrities" (For exp. I played basketball against "MJ"). This place is good for an overall fun experience. It could have been more wax figures though and some didn't look very realistic. I don't see myself going back in the near future. Once is enough.
I remember going to a wax museum when I was a kid and being enthralled by COOL and REALISTIC everyone was....Elvis is just as I remember. Come to think of it, Michael Jackson kinda looks the same. Creepy. I wanted to go up to the model and poke a hole in the nose with my pen, to make it look more realistic. It just doesn't hold the same appeal any more, I'm not going to lie. Maybe it's the Damn I'm Getting Old? The "I can Photoshop my own celeb photos" factor?
It was fun because I had family members with me, and they got their money's worth filling up their camera memory. The whole time I was here I was envisioning mass melting. I'm sorry, Madame, but I'd rather go to Ripley's to see the torture implements. No offense, you do make very sexy paraffin paraphernalia but it's just not my ball of wax. *groans from fake studio audience
People thought this was:
Madame Tussaud's is really a one time only deal. But it is quite fun! During Halloween time (SEPT-OCT) they have a haunted little area you can walk through and people jump out at you. Its hard to tell whether they are wax or fake! You just have to find out on your own!
BRING A CAMERA! Tons of great shots with the stars!
People thought this was:
This place is awesome and freaky. Every wax figure looks SO REAL. My peripheral vision was playing tricks on me, I'd see someone out of the corner of my eye and think it was a real person but no, it was Ryan Seacrest or Shaq. Duh!
Cool tip here - get your tickets at The Venetian front desk! They will sell them to you for $19 which is less than Madame Toussad's price of $26 (even with their $4 coupon).
So yes, I do all the touristy trap things when I am in Vegas also.. I love it. What else is Vegas for? I can spend 2 days or 2 weeks here and not be bored a bit...
So wax people.. sounds maybe not interesting, but it's a blast. Some of them do look real.. scary cause I had a few dreams that were too scary.. ICK
Anywhoo... Lovely place to kill some time... its a real art that people don't appreciate. Way better then House of Wax
This is such an awesome place! I had a great time there when I was in Vegas. It's relatively cheap too (comparing it to the one in NYC atleast) with a coupon you can get in for about $20.
There was a lot of wax figures that were extremely real looking! Its a bit creepy actually but a lot of fun! Your allowed to take pictures with all of the which is neat, I got some really great photos of me and Johnny Depp that look real!! haha. Theres interactive experiences that are cool. Theres random stats around the place which are interesting to read. I had a great experience! If your in the area Id deffinetly say to check it out!
My friend and I ended up getting free tickets to this through a Nielsen Research study that was being conducted at the Venetian, but even then I think I'd pay full price to see this museum again! The figures are so lifelike and you can't help but want to take your picture with every other one. I especially liked the interactive portions, like putting on bunny ears and sitting with Hugh Heffner, touching J.Lo's ass and watching her blush, marrying George Clooney, etc.
Great for kids and adults. A must see!
People thought this was:
Fun, and excellent photo opportunities! I am pictured with the Godfather of soul James Brown (my favorite shot), Billy idol, Bono, Tom Jones, Don King (I have better hair), Brad Pitt (the only one in my opinion that didn't look real) , Arnold (The Govenator), Frank Sinatra and Wayne Newton, there's more but then again you get the picture!
A fun thing to do and not as cheesy as I expected it was actually very interesting to learn the history and process.
People thought this was:
If you go to Vegas, you have to see Madame Tussauds at least once. I had never been to a wax museum before, and it was a weird experience looking at something that looks SO real yet I knew it wasn't. Once I got over the mild creepiness of it all I had a lot of fun taking pictures of practically everything. I also got a chance to nerd out and get my picture with Patrick Stewart.
The tickets are a little pricey, but you can find coupons practically anywhere.
People thought this was:
I grabbed J.Lo's ass, married Clooney, met B. Franklin, G. Washington, got into bed with Hugh Hefner and stared into Brad Pitt's pretty eyes. Oh, and my cousin got her neck bitten by Siegfried and Roy's tiger.
Awesome. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it, but it was a blast-bring your camera, your lidded drink and have a good time!
People thought this was:
When in Vegas during the cold months, Madam Tussauds is the place to go during the day. I generally avoid Vegas unless it is hot, because Vegas for me equals sitting by pools and drinking during the day. However, I was here for NYE last year, and after waking up, rather hung over, we marched down to the half price tickets to see what there was to do. Madame Tussaud tickets are cheaper if you buy them at this ticket place, so make the hike and do some shopping ;)
I have to say there is nothing more fun for a picture whore like myself, than running around a wax museum and taking absurd pictures with the celebrities. Now,, make sure to bring a camera, because posing with these "people" is much more fun if you have picture proof for later mockery. Make sure to have fun with it, because the walk through is amazing if you have a group of people looking at you in horror for grabbing/pinching/licking various body parts for your pictures ;)
People thought this was:
Who would've thought I could be easily amused by a bunch of wax statues. This is a great place to check out when you need a break from the hot weather. The museum is interactive and you are encouraged to take pictures with all of the wax statues. A camera is a must as there are a lot of opportunities to take some hilarious pictures. Price is a little high so be on the lookout for coupons or discounts before going.
So good..
so fun..
..definitly worth it!!
People thought this was:
A lot of fun. I like that you can pose and tuch statues.
I've never been to a wax museum like this before! Totally interactive. The figures are all posed so that you can stand next to them and be part of the party. Very clever. I love how they have various themed areas and you just take your time through each scene. Most wax museums concentrate on historical figures. This one is the now. Want to meet Hugh Hefner? George Clooney? Paris Hilton. They're all there.
Best part was that my husband took a picture in the ring with Mohammed Ali, and next thing you know we ran into the real legend himself at the Bellagio later that same afternoon!
People thought this was:
Had a lot of fun here! Make sure to bring a camera. The statues are so realistic that a lot of people I showed pictures to actually thought I had met those celebrities while I was in vegas!! I have a great pic with me and Jenna Jameson that had everyone at work gawking for an hour! They also had a small haunted house inside (for free) that was a lot of fun. Really enjoyed my stop here!
This was my favorite wax museum ever!
Okay... granted it's only the second one I've ever been to, the first one being the one on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. But I love the interactiveness of all the statues.
First of all, the quality of the statues was amazing. Most all of them were instantly recognizable. As I said... the interactive qualities were great. You could pretty much take a photo with any of the statues (well... it would have been quite an accomplishment to pose with the BIlly Idol on top of a huge speaker). Some were "interactive" in that there were signs inviting you to interact... the ones I remember were touching Jennifer Lopez' booty to see her face blush (we didn't test this one), marrying George Clooney, shooting hoops with Shaq, putting with Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer, taking a photo with Hef's arm around you, and sitting at a poker table with Ben Affleck.
I was a bit disappointed that the Chamber of Horrors section was live...I really wanted to go in and get photos, but I'm terribly jumpy and don't do well in traditional haunted houses, so I chickened out.
We paid for the "Romance Package" through Expedia when booking our trip that included an outdoor gondola ride, admission to Madame Tussauds, and lunch at Zefferino. All in all I think we saved around $15 doing it that way and it was totally worth it. I'd have paid full price just for this!
