In an industrial plaza on Dean Martin Drive, where the buildings are made of beige corrugated metal and the businesses provide auto repair and tattoos, sits part of the collection of Liberace, one of the most flamboyant and notable entertainers in the history of Las Vegas.
It’s called the Liberace Garage and can be found at the back of the Hollywood Cars Museum. Liberace previously had a dedicated museum in a shopping center on Tropicana Avenue, but it closed in 2010 in what the Las Vegas Review-Journal described at the time as “financial ruin.”
Liberace, who was born Wladziu Valentino Liberace in 1919 and became known for using elaborate costumes and cars in his Las Vegas piano performances, created a foundation in his name in 1976 and gave it his collection of costumes, cars and art.
