The museum is one of the stops I am planning for a conference on local collections.

When Las Vegas was born, and one of the things that made it what it was, what's the show girls of Las Vegas. They don't have these big shows like they used to, and I think that the las vegas showgirl museum keeps that memory alive.

Let the showgirl live on through dedicated people like Grant and friends. History must be saved and no allowed to implode.

As a retired professionally trained dancer and showgirl was in the industry as a pro for 20 years performing in Vegas and around the world including Europe I feel this museum is considered a gem amongst those in the industry and would be sorely missed should it ever seize to exist. Lets do what we need to do to make any modifications and allow reasonable and adequate time for this to be done but please allow this fabulous establishment of memories and showgirl history to remain open. Thank you.

This is an important part of our history that countless people have donated countless hours to keep up and running. How sad that this would even be considered. Please do not deny a very large group of people the right to their own history.

The history of Vegas is synonymous with the history of the showgirl. This collection deserves to be allowed to remain open. it has been here for years without a problem. It offers no threat to the peace within this neighborhood. Call off the red tape mongers and offer the variance they need to survive.

This museum is run by volunteers out of the love of their hearts. They are preserving a valuable piece of LV history at no cost to the taxpayer. Please do not force it out of existence by strangling it with red tape. Try to educate the complainant rather than simply act on the complaint which is clearly inaccurate in it's factual details. Thank you.

History of any kind should be valued & treasured, otherwise how will our children ever know what a wonderful working life we had.

A pity if tourists or visitors can not access without apointement...As a foreigner and a previous Las vegas and museum visitor I think of this of a loss for the city as this will mean not all can visit the museum and therfore do not have this historical view of the most appealing part of Las vegas which is the shows and costums. hoping that the county will reconsider their decision.

This is a vexatious claim against a private collector and should be thrown out of court

I'm happy to watch over the activities of this magnificent museum with the help of the Internet. Collection of costumes at the museum great! The activities of the museum world level should be maintained in full to the delight of visitors.

This is a much appreciated museum that is a part of Las Vegas history. It is run out of love for the art of the costume history of all the iconic shows from Vegas past. Why would you try and limit the exposure to fans from all over the world that are fascinated by these beautiful works of costume art?

This kind of political maneuvering is certainly not what's best for the group as a whole. Just pandering to a small group that wishes Las Vegas were different than it is.

I am a theatre costumer and believe these organizations are important to our cultural history.
