These Amazing Vegas Acts Are Worth Every Penny

Liberace

Wayne Newton may be ‘Mr. Las Vegas’, but he still must bow to the master of Vegas headliners, Liberace: ‘Mr. Showmanship.’ Famous for his handcrafted capes and glittering suits, his over the top jewels and amazing coif, his jewel encrusted pianos and microphones, Liberace flew over his audiences (literally- supported by cables!) and dazzled generations with his flair and craft and musicianship.

His piano playing was of high excellence, as Liberace has been classically trained since sixteen years of age. He had his own national variety show as well as televised specials from the Las Vegas Hilton. At his peak, Liberace earned an unheard of $50,000.00 a week at the Riviera.
