About Neon Museum
The Neon Museum preserves the signs that told Las Vegas’s story. Most are in the Neon Boneyard, an open courtyard where signs from hotels, casinos, motels and shops that closed or were demolished rest, spanning several decades of the 20th century. Some have been restored and are lit again; others remain as they arrived, with faded paint and broken bulbs.
The reception operates in the old lobby of the La Concha Motel, a concrete shell-shaped building designed in the 1960s by Paul Revere Williams and moved to the museum grounds. In a nearby gallery, an audiovisual installation projects animations onto decommissioned signs.
You can visit during the day at your own pace, or at night with guides who tell each sign’s story while some of the signs are turned on. Tickets are timed and often sell out on the most popular nights.
Photography is allowed for personal use; professional shoots and large equipment have specific rules. The courtyard is uncovered and gets hot during daytime in summer.
