I have been looking into many different things concerning to Las Vegas. This is because I am hoping that this year if all goes well I will be making my first trip there.

One thing I found that I think would be very intresting to see is Madame Tussaunds wax museum.

The art of using wax to resemble a person is to me very intresting and I plan on stopping in to take a tour of this museum while I am there.

From what I have read about this museum there are over 100 life like figures to view. Apparently they have people from politics, movies, music and so on that are displayed.

This is one place that is going in my planner as a must see. Though there are so many places that I have been looking into that I want to see, its impossible to see them all in just a short time. This is why this museum is going to be a must for my first trip.

I didn't have time to go in and look around when I was there in December of '07, but was amazed at how life-like the wax people were that they had on display outside....Here's a couple of pics I got during that trip..

I didn't get my picture with Springer, but they had him on display as well:

Wow, they do look real. I would not have known they were not if you had not said so..LOL It is amazing how real they can make them. Next time in Vegas it would be fun to go look at these.

I found this video of the museum and thought it would give everyone a better idea of why I want to visit this place when I go to Vegas.
I am so looking forward to seeing all of these wax figures in person.

Amazing! I cannot believe how life-like they really are. I would not have known they weren't the real people either had you not said so. How in the world do they make those??? That takes a lot of talent and dedication I would think!
