The biggest problem for the Liberace Museum may be its location. It's more than 2 miles off the Vegas Strip, and visitors just don't want to make the trip.

In other words, its location on Tropicana near UNLV is in the "real" Las Vegas, where the locals go about their business. Few tourists are seen in these parts, unless they are looking for a good Italian sandwich at Cugino's on Maryland Parkway.

Or fantastic, inexpensive sushi at Sushi Boy Desu across from UNLV. Gotta keep the prices low for the college students. The area where the museum is has turned into a bad neighborhood. I had friends with a beautiful, expensive home in the 80s- putting green, pool, guest house, a few blocks away. I can’t believe what’s happened to the area. It’s pretty sad when the neighborhood is so bad the grocery store closes. I regularly drove past the museum and was always surprised it hadn’t closed yet due to location, neighborhood, lack of customers and the memory of him fading.
