Antiques Roadshow
Las Vegas, Hour 2
Most people don't think of fine art among the entertainments on the Las Vegas strip, but host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser Alan Fausel discover the work of modern art masters when they visit the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum at the Venetian Resort Hotel.
Surprising finds abound at the Las Vegas Convention Center, too, including a circa-1865 pottery pig canteen exhibiting a variety of Southwest American Indian characteristics; two pieces of Elvis Presley memorabilia — an autographed album cover and a macramé belt worn by Elvis at a performance in the 1970s; and a scrapbook inherited from the owner's great-great-grandfather, who collected the signatures of many of the Civil War era's greatest public figures, including Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Robert E. Lee, and Jefferson Davis, valued at $75,000–$100,000.
