The one-hour tour through the Neon Museum and Boneyard doesn’t just take you past a collection of neon signs that were once the pride of the Vegas skyline. Thankfully not all neon signs have been consigned to the recycle bin. Most of those neon signs have all made way for gigantic LED and electronic signboards apart from the 1959 ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign’. This museum takes you back to Las Vegas’ early years in the spotlight - bright lights, neon signs and larger-than-life characters who shaped Vegas’ landscape. Before you get any ideas, I am talking about neon signs here. It’s been a decade since one of Las Vegas’ biggest outdoor museums was dedicated to its most iconic art form. It has helped shaped Vegas’ larger-than-life image and continues to be the city’s most powerful magnet but as I’ve discovered over many trips, the fun begins when you get off the Strip. The focus has almost always been on the ‘Strip’ - Las Vegas’ iconic four-mile Boulevard with some of the world’s best-known hotels, casinos and milling crowds. Las Vegas has been immortalised in scores of Hollywood blockbusters - from the wolfpack exploits in Hangover to the high-stakes gambling in the Ocean’s movies. ![]()
