Vegas Liberace Museum Gets Makeover

LAS VEGAS (AP) - In keeping with Liberace's flair for flamboyancy, an 
oversized neon pink piano and a giant rendition of the late pianist's 
signature now grace the entrance to his newly remodeled museum.
 
Despite the triple-digit heat, hundreds of residents and tourists turned out 
Thursday to celebrate the expansion of the nonprofit Liberace Museum. 
Renowned for his over-the-top tastes, the museum houses a collection of the 
Las Vegas entertainer's cars, pianos, costumes and jewelry.
 
Magicians Siegfried and Roy, holding a 7-week-old white Siberian male tiger, 
arrived in Liberace's pink Rolls Royce convertible to cut a 
rhinestone-encrusted ribbon.
 
``He would be thrilled,'' said Roy Horn, adding that the museum is a monument 
to Liberace's contributions to the city's entertainment history.
 
``He really was the king of the showman,'' said Siegfried Fischbacher.
 
Liberace died of complications from AIDS in 1987. He was 67.
