Liberace's restored Las Vegas mansion.

If you like historical bling and collectors' items, here is a walk-through tour of Liberace's former Las Vegas mansion.

After the 1987 death of Liberace, the mansion fell into disrepair and ended up abandoned.
In fact, hobos were beginning to strip what was left.

Then a benefactor from England ("we preserve things") bought and salvaged what remained.
Although not entirely original - in fact all kinds of Libearce artifacts from other properties were bought and donated.
There's also a commercial endeavor going on, which opens the space to private parties and weddings.

But anyway, have you ever watched a clip and felt a presence IN THE CLP?

Yip, the first few minutes - Lee is here.
And two minutes later the vlogger actually mentions all the supernatural activity.

Not saying anything, but apparently at some point a hidden compartment under the drawer in the bedroom was discovered, which was apparently full of hidden jewelry, and cough, cough - it all went missing.

Well, I guess it's all functional:

The two-bedroom, 10-bathroom home was built in 1962 and sits on a half-acre lot in an aging neighborhood near the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Surrounding homes are small and sell for $80,000 to $150,000, which dragged down the value of the home, said real estate agent Brad Wolfe, who represented Ravenhill in the deal.

Two bedrooms and ten bathrooms?
You want your guests to be comfortable in case one toilet is occupied.
What is opulence without a bit of a choice?

And with Liberace, you can't say "privilege" or "theft", or anything like that.

He was a workaholic and earned every penny.

I'm not sure whether he ever got to relax and enjoy any of his fantastic collections, or whether he really thought this beauty is something I do for posterity.

One tequila shot too much?

Don't hurl all the way down the tapestries (this isn't the historical Versailles).

Quick, there's a bathroom right here.

I can imagine a lover's tiff.

"Ooh you cad, I'm going to pick up a vase, and ... ouch my back".

Actually, in the 1980's there were lots of houses like that.

Having a barbecue at my dad's bosses house at the time.

Adults all outside, and my brother and a few kids playing, and I'm watching TV.

And my brother says, I'm going to show you something.

Next thing, we're in these peoples' bedroom, and my brother opens the cupboard doors.
Yeah, and clothes, so what thinks me?
But no.

There's the most 1980's "fantasia-like" bathroom I ever saw.

Jacuzzi, the works.
And some plastic contraption in which the "uncle" sits and sweats, only the head pointing out.

And a little fountain called a "bidet"!

Not sure they actually cared, but from that point, at every adult social, I always sneaked to my private space, quite literally in the closet.

So, do you think he might have been gay?

Don't be silly, he was looking for a pretty girl to marry.

I love me some irony.

Liberace was also a great cook, and used to fly friends in for supper-parties.
