HAUS OF GAGA - LAS VEGAS

Haus of Gaga: Las Vegas is a residency museum located at the Park MGM Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV. It consists of costume pieces, wigs, shoes, and props from over 70 of Lady Gaga's most iconic looks. The museum was curated by Nicola Formichetti and opened on May 30, 2019. Before the Enigma performance on May 30, Lady Gaga visited the museum to sign the wall and greet with fans. Her signature is accompanied by Nicola Formichetti's under the Haus of Gaga sign inside the museum.  

Admission

Admission to the Haus of Gaga is absolutely free. Two lines form outside of the museum's entryway: general admission to the left and VIP to the right. The general admission line typically wraps around the left corner of the museum, with velvet ropes extedning down to the casino's entrance on the Las Vegas Strip. 60 guests are admitted at a time. Every 20 minutes, employees filter guests out and restock merchandise before the next 60 guests are admitted. Guests are not filtered out when no line forms outside of the museum, however, the maximum capacity remains at 60 guests.  

Merchandise

T-shirts representing each Lady Gaga era are available for purchase at the Haus of Gaga. It is typical for the shirts sell out and for new shirts to surface. The majority of shirts sell for $ 35, with the exception of the vintage Lady Gaga logo shirt which sells for $ 60. In addition to t-shirts, hand-painted leather jackets are also available for $ 4000.
