You can get up close and personal with the likes of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jolie, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Harrison Ford and many more without a restraining order.

In addition you can get a behind the scenes look at how the wax sculptures are made. Each figure takes approximately 6 months to complete and costs from $150,000 to $250,000. The celebrities who pose for a wax likeness endure 160 measurements and 150 to 200 photos. They are also happy to donate clothes to the models, and help out where possible. Others have to be constructed from viewing many videos and photos.This is a must see for anyone visiting Las Vegas.
