OMG OMG OMG. That’s all I gotta say. This is the absolute BEST and most NOT TO MISS museum in Vegas. Yes I know there’s the mob museum but this showgirl museum is even better. They got a million dollar dress in there as well as showgirl costumes from the original showgirl shows in Las Vegas including Jubilee, Hello Hollywood, Follies Bregeire, Lido, Splash, and so much more! It’s so amazing to see! They also have a lot of donations from former famous burlesque dancers and SUPERSTARS! They have a Liza Minelli, Cher, and even a BLANK dress (she is from Supergirl.).
I used to be a showgirl and Blue Belle in the original Jubilee in Las Vegas. (Which was the best in my opinion!) Bigger and better they say! Haven’t ever seen another show even come close and that’s including Lido and Moulin Rouge in Paris. Sorry not sorry. The stage isn’t as big and there are less people. All the costumes here are amazing and definitely worth your trip to see! Hello Bob Mackie! Do not miss it! Make sure to go to the website and email and reserve tickets in advance. Absolutely love this place and the fact that it’s keeping the showgirl and more important the original amazing authentic original showgirl costumes alive! This should be your number one stop!
If they had a bigger space and restaurant/bar beside it they could have champagne girls and maybe a photo op with showgirls. Just a suggestion. Could be huge!
Love this whole display. For the NEW generation that see; for when they open up a big museum would be great to have whoever is featured (in the photo frames now) a little history and what they brought to the showgirl world or actress / burlesque world. A lot of people who are not in that industry probably have no clue and would be cool to see like a history plaque beside each one, where is the costume from, or if it was a person who wore it, what did she/he/they do, and what did they do to make that industry bigger.
This is a wonderful place and to me one of the best places to visit while in Vegas. Be sure to...
Read moreI don’t exaggerate when I say this museum is one of the most incredible places I have ever been, anywhere. The quality and size of Grant’s collection (or at least what is on display currently - there is always more he is restoring or storing elsewhere) alone is jaw dropping and well worth the trip - there are incredible costumes, artifacts and props everywhere you turn in this beautiful home. It doesn’t matter if you’re specifically interested in showgirls, entertainment, Hollywood, costume design, fashion, general history - there is just so much for everyone here!
But what truly sets the Showgirl Museum apart is Grant himself. He is an incredible host and tour guide: charming, funny and incredibly knowledgeable, he teaches through facts, personal experiences and anecdotes in a way that is accessible to absolutely anyone - regardless of what background knowledge you have entering the museum, you are guaranteed to leave with so much more. On top of being an amazing tour guide with a brain like an encyclopedia, he is an incredibly talented designer, producer, conservator-restorer, and clearly respected member of the industry and community - it is really a treat to be able to experience this incredible collection with someone so passionate and dedicated. He is also extremely generous with his time - he spent over 4 hours with my dad and I! We didn’t realize how much time had passed until we left!
I rarely write reviews, but the Showgirl Museum is a truly special experience - and difficult to describe in words. I urge anyone and everyone to visit at least once or donate if possible to keep this amazing production going. I will definitely be back, and hope to see the expansion into a public venue soon. Thank you Grant and everyone involved for all that you do to preserve the glitz and...
