The Liberace Museum Is Closing

Alas, our foremost cultural institution is closing later this month. They were going to make a Liberace film starring Michael Douglas, but I guess that's off now. Pity - it might have saved the museum.

World 3 Wall Ball Championship, Stratosphere

The 3 Wall Ball Championship took place in the Stratosphere parking lot, where they built the courts. Can't be a big sport, but it's fun - even I could play it.

World 3 Wall Ball Championship, Vegas

If you think we're all degenerate, poker-playing, buffet-eating gamblers in Vegas, you're right. We invite athletes from all over the world to do the exercising in 100 degree heat for us.

The Frank Gehry Building Is Completed

I like the crumpled Gehry building and how it reflects in the windows of the government building across the street. But on a hot day, it's not good to stand near it for too long, otherwise you'll fry.

Inside The Gehry Building

Not exactly inside, but in the courtyard. The brain clinic in the back seems to be open for business, the Frank Gehry bit is always closed whenever I've been there.

Welcome To The Erotic Heritage Museum

The Erotic Heritage Museum is on Industrial Road behind the Fashion Show mall, nestled amongst the strip clubs and adorned with colorful murals.

The Erotic Heritage Museum In Vegas

First you walk through a red light district, then you come across penis art made of 100,000 pennies. They supply pens for you to get creative in the otherwise spotlessly clean bathroom - toilets like this should be grungy and smelly, its part of the charm.

Erotic Heritage Museum: Exhibits & Activities

Larry Flynt's wheelchair is on exhibit, there are various recreations of famous porn movie sets (can't say I've seen this one) and you can take a class in bondage - it was very well attended.

What I Learned At The Erotic Heritage Museum

I came away from the Erotic Heritage Museum feeling I was severely under-sexed (who's got time to install all these contraptions), but with a renewed interest in bike riding.

Imperial Palace

The Imperial Palace is one of the oldest and cheapest casinos on the Strip. It used to have Hitler's car on display - what kind of draw was that?
