It was introduce in 1 day after people when the casinos of Las Vegas are empty except for one that draws a crowd. The show gave information that celebrities and dignitaries were immortalized in wax by Madame Tussauds in the of humans with each lifelike figure was based on as many as 150 measurements.

The cooling fan fails.
In 3 days after people, as power starts to fail across Las Vegas, the power goes out inside the Madame Tussauds. Emergency lights keeps the figures illuminated in the windowless galleries but in the museum's utility room, the exhaust fans slow to a halt, the air conditioning cuts out and the temperature begins to rise. Kurt Moseley stated that the upper floors compress the heat and will become an oven making the wax figures to start to droop, sweat, and melt. Beeswax, the main component in the figures, begins melting at 115 degrees F. Against all odds, the wax figure of Madonna has no chance and within days, the material girl dematerializes, along with other wax figures.
