Museum is located inside the Venetian Hotel and Casino. Located
at the southern end of the property, it is tucked away at the end
of a long stretch of escalators. Even though it is not in complete
plain view, the facility is directly in the line of pedestrian traffic.
The escalators serve as one of the main causeways into the Venetian
for the traveler headed north on the east side of the strip. The
facility is also advertised by an architecturally integrated building
sign, and an LED screen that are in plain view from the street.
A the end of the bay of escalators, a platform folds out, containing
the vibrant entrance to the Wax Museum. Flanking the large opening
designated as the entrance, are six free standing sculpted cabinet,
advertising for Madame Tussaud's, lining up three on either side
of the door. Standing underneath the entry, are a cast of ever rotating
wax figures of celebrities. Just beyond the wax sentry, six more
sculpted cabinets are present on other side of the pedestrian leading
up to a ticket counter. On the ceiling above the pedestrian is an
array of sculpted elements that are adorned with incandescent bulbs
and neon, all leading up to the afore mentioned counter.

11. Environment:
Madame Tussaud's holds the
unique position of being elevated above the street, within the Venetian.
Located at the top of a bank of escalators, the museum is positioned
so that it is the dominating force upon the pedestrian with its
immediate area. With careful examination it is evident that the
it resides in the Venetian, but has tight hold on it's claim of
space. Even though the location is somewhat hidden, it is a present
force, and alongside a series of moving walk paths, generating a
high frequency of vibration. |
