Fundraising Event Brings Librace Flair to Thriller Villa

Las Vegas , NV - Two flamboyant, gone-but-not-forgotten entertainers with Vegas connections inspire a holiday-season fundraiser for the Las Vegas Philharmonic.  The event's title — "Light Up the Night With Liberace" — reveals the identity of one of those entertainers, the pianist who ruled the Strip as "Mr. Showmanship." The event's location reveals the other: the "Thriller Villa," alias a Las Vegas abode once occupied by the late "King of Pop," Michael Jackson.  The fundraiser will showcase the Liberace Museum collection, featuring the extravagant jewelry, sequin-spangled costumes and other items that became a Liberace trademark.  The event is open to the public and guests are encouraged to shine up their sequins to add Liberace-like flair to the holiday affair. www.fundraising-ideas.org
