Neon Museum

Neon Museum Review

A giant neon horseman waves on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street. He's the first exhibit in the outdoor museum, a display of neon signs retired from various old Vegas landmarks. Others include the original Aladdin's lamp and the rider on horseback from the Hacienda Hotel. Until the planned venue inside the La Concha Motel lobby opens, the Neon Museum has loaned some of its signs to the visitor center at the Old Fort (which requires an entrance fee). The Neon Museum also operates what they refer to as their "boneyard"—a 3-acre plot that houses all of the unrestored signs. Tour reservations must be made in advance; all scheduled tours are subject to cancelation due to ongoing construction.
