The Neon Museum: Preserving the Signs That Built Las Vegas

The Neon Museum was founded in 1996 as a nonprofit learning institution dedicated to preserving the rescued neon signs that once lit the Las Vegas Strip and downtown. Its 2.27-acre Boneyard outdoor exhibition holds more than 250 unrestored signs (lit from below at night) plus 28 restored signs that glow continuously. The Neon Museum visitors’ center occupies the salvaged former lobby of the La Concha Motel — a rescued mid-century shell relocated to the Boneyard site.

The museum runs guided day and night tours through the Boneyard, plus on-site events and partnerships with local arts organizations. The Neon Museum is on the National Trust for Historic Preservation roster and has accumulated more than 2,100 verified Yelp reviews — among the most-reviewed nonprofit attractions in Las Vegas.

The Neon Museum in the Las Vegas Valley

The Neon Museum sits on Las Vegas Boulevard north of downtown, on the same cultural corridor as the Mob Museum, Cashman Center, and the Las Vegas Natural History Museum. Its preservation mission has made it one of the city’s most-photographed cultural anchors and a recurring location for film, television, and editorial photography.
