Deep in the heart of Vegas lies the final resting place of Sin City’s bright lights of days past: the Neon Museum, where you can pay respect to more than 150 of Las Vegas’s most iconic neon signs.
The Neon Museum opened in 1996 on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Bonanza Road. The highlight of the two-acre museum campus is the Neon Boneyard, an outdoor gallery displaying historic signs for famous Vegas casinos like Caesars Palace, the Golden Nugget and the Stardust.
Even the visitor’s center is a piece of Las Vegas history, as it’s housed in the former La Concha Motel lobby, a mid-century modern design by architect Paul Revere Williams. When the 1960s-era motel was up for demolition in 2005, it was saved and repurposed as the official face of Las Vegas’s Neon Museum.
