The Neon Museum Las Vegas, Art museum in Downtown Las Vegas, US.
The Neon Museum displays over 200 retired neon signs from casinos and businesses across an outdoor exhibition space. The collection includes signs of various sizes and styles, from restored classics to rare finds.
The collection started in 1996 when enthusiasts began rescuing historical signs before they were demolished. The museum officially opened in 2012 and turned the restored lobby of a motel into its entrance.
Each sign tells a story of how entertainment in this city evolved across different eras, from early casinos to modern resorts. You can see how advertising styles and business names changed over the decades.
Visitors can choose between daytime or evening guided tours, both lasting about 45 minutes. It is wise to book in advance, as spots fill up quickly.
Many signs were literally rescued from demolition sites and would otherwise have been lost forever. Some come from businesses that disappeared long ago, keeping memory alive of forgotten establishments.
