Madame Tussauds Las Vegas

This guide traces Madame Tussauds back to Marie Tussaud, pressing plaster onto guillotined faces in Revolutionary Paris to save her own life, casting death masks of Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI. It follows that same unsettling skill two centuries forward to the Las Vegas Strip, where the first American Madame Tussauds opened in 1999. Look for the life-size Dwayne Johnson pouring drinks behind his own bar as you go.
