Fodor's 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. The signs can be seen along Fremont Street. Until the planned indoor venue 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. Though it's not open to the public, Noble Gas-o-Philes might be able to visit by special appointment.

A very free-form collection of older "retired" neon signs from classic Vegas spots. Pretty much just a bunch of these items scattered about in a courtyard area at one end of Fremont Street at present, though they're apparently moving towards a more formal and permanent facility. Not bad for what it is, and it's free.
