Neon Museum : info and guided tour

Introduction to the Neon Museum

The Neon Museum in Las Vegas is a museum dedicated to preserving the neon signs that have shaped the city’s visual identity. Located at 770 Las Vegas Blvd N, it brings together advertising panels, illuminated lettering, and signage elements once visible on the Strip and downtown.

The site is especially known for its “Neon Boneyard,” an area where old signs from casinos, hotels, and iconic establishments are preserved and displayed. This collection traces the evolution of Las Vegas’s urban landscape through the design, light, and entertainment culture that shaped the city.

The museum displays pieces in a variety of shapes, often large-format, with bright colors and typography characteristic of past decades. Some restored or partially preserved signs offer a close look at neon fabrication, original materials, and graphic styles associated with the golden age of Las Vegas.

Appreciated both as a history museum and as a site of urban art, the Neon Museum has become a reference for understanding the city’s visual memory. Its iconic signs, sometimes from legendary addresses, make it a unique place where local heritage, luminous creativity, and popular culture meet.
