Not to miss

Luxor Casino

You can't miss this 30-storey pyramid fronted by a 10-storey high crouching sphinx. Inside is the world's biggest atrium, which is topped off by a beacon of light so strong it can be seen by astronauts. For a taste of Egyptian history, the King Tut Museum features exquisite reproductions of ancient artifacts.

Liberace Museum

For connoisseurs of kitschy celebrity shrines, this place is a must-do. The home of 'Mr Showmanship' houses the most flamboyant art cars, outrageous costumes and ornate pianos you'll ever see. There's a hand-painted Pleyel, on which Chopin played; a Rolls-Royce covered in mirrored tiles; and a wardrobe exhibit full of feathered capes and million-dollar furs, darling.

Loved throughout the world, Liberace was honoured during his lifetime with two Emmy Awards, six gold records and two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Following his death in 1987, just months after his final performances at New York's Radio City Music Hall, the late great entertainer was posthumously honoured with the creation of this outrageously cheesy off-Strip museum.

Liberace's favourite stage pianos - a rhinestone-encrusted Baldwin and a concert grand covered in mirrors - are not to be missed. Among the rare pianos on display are a hand-painted Pleyel on which Chopin played and a Chickering grand once owned by Gershwin. The lineup of Liberace's cars includes a hand-painted red, white and blue Rolls-Royce convertible, a Rolls-Royce clad entirely in mirror tiles, and a roadster covered in Austrian rhinestones.

Many visitors are enamored by Liberace's wardrobe and jewelry. Elaborately feathered capes, sequined suits and million-dollar furs are as funny as they are frightening in their oddity.

Time your visit to join one of the free guided tours led by passionate, but self-censorious Liberace fans ('Red Hatters'). Call ahead for schedules.

Little White Wedding Chapel

The Little White Wedding Chapel has welcomed thousands of couples since opening in 1946, and is a favorite spot for celebs to say 'I do.' You can have an Elvis impersonator officiate or have the affair broadcast over the internet. They'll marry you in a helicopter, an air balloon - you name it. Drive-through rates start at around 40, with full ceremony packages averaging 800.
