I received a ticket in exchange for a review on the museum. All opinions are my own.
When I think of Las Vegas, a few things come to mind. Casinos, Buffets, Weather, and Lights! It’s impossible to drive through Las Vegas at night and not be mesmerized by all those lights!
On our recent trip to Las Vegas, one of the things I wanted to do most, was visit The Neon Museum. The Neon Boneyard, as it is refereed to, houses iconic signage dating back to the 1930’s. Many of the Neon signs you’ll see are from old casinos such as, the Riviera, Binion’s, The Stardust, and The Sahara.
Being a huge Elvis Presley fan, the highlight of the tour for me, was seeing the Lamp from the Aladdin Casino, where Elvis and Priscilla were married in 1967.
The Museum is located on the north end of Las Vegas Blvd. and is open for guided tours seven days a week. You are able to enjoy a tour of the Boneyard, day or night. We booked a day tour, as I really wanted to see and photograph the signs. However, I think a night tour would also be fun. During the night tours, you witness the neon lights on 11 of their restored signs, as well as their un-restored signs which are lit with ground lighting.
We had a great time on our tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot not only about neon signs, but also the history of Las Vegas. If you in Vegas with an hour to spare, be sure and stop by The Neon Museum! Tickets can be purchased here. I suggest purchasing early, as tickets do sell out quickly.
