Actually, the Liberace Museum closed its doors a little while ago :(. I think that the costumed characters along Fremont Street are pretty cheesy. There are all types of Elvis's, Gene Simmons's, and other dolled up people who'll take a picture with you for a tip. The casinos along Fremont are pretty cheesey too. I personally thought that the New Orleans-themed one (I forget the name, but you'll recognize it by girls with mardi gras beads outside) was very kitschy. More
