Las Vegas Mixtape v9: Liberace Forever, Thirsty Pirates, 25-Cent Bottomless Coffee

Track#1: The Liberace Mansion @Paradise Palms

In the mood to surround yourself with over-the-top opulence? Visit the mansion of a legendary pianist who was once the highest-paid entertainer in the world — Liberace. The late, glammed-out performer once said, “Too much of a good thing is wonderful,” and that ethos survives in his home.

The Liberace Mansion was initially built in 1962 and is now a historic destination. It’s a two-level kitsch palace with marble floors and 15,000 square feet of pure glitz, embodying Liberace’s expensive and tongue-in-cheek bad taste.

Book a private tour and wander through the mansion’s “eternal hall of mirrors,” modeled after the Palace of Versailles. Walk up the grand staircase whose railings—imported by Liberace from a can-can bar in Paris—inspired him to add a second level to his home. You’ll also see the original keyboard-painted outdoor steps that led to what once was the pool.

The inebriated guests who once partied at the house couldn’t expect to spend the night—the layout features only one bedroom (which is genius). And that bedroom, of course, has a recreation of the Sistine Chapel ceiling. All hail Liberace!
