Steve Aoki Visits His Madame Tussauds Wax Figure at Level Up at MGM Grand, Thursday, March 22
Steve Aoki was spotted with a familiar face Thursday, March 22 before his performance at Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand: his own. The Grammy-nominated international DJ and producer visited his recently unveiled Madame Tussauds wax figure at Level Up before making his way into the club for his headlining show. The figure remained on display throughout the night, allowing fans to take photos as they passed, before returning to Madame Tussauds Las Vegas.
Madame Tussauds Las Vegas unveiled its new DJ Experience featuring Steve Aoki Tuesday, March 6, when the DJ himself became the first person to cake himself in wax form, before treating fans to a live set to launch the dance-party installation.
In true Aoki-style, his figure holds laser cannons that project digital beams around the room and wears customized denim pants from his own Dim Mak collection.
Aoki met with Madame Tussauds artists in May 2017 for a sitting where they took more than 200 hundred measurements and photographs to perfectly match his body, face, skin, hair and teeth. His figure joins Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Will Smith, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and more at the Las Vegas attraction.
