‘There are few distractions in Las Vegas outside the glaring lights of the gambling halls, but one of the best also preserves the city’s light-filled legacy: the Neon Museum. This eclectic “neon boneyard” celebrates artefacts of Las Vegas’ native art form: the neon sign. Collecting donated signs, tracking down antiques in need of preservation, and even repairing signs that are returned to be on display in the community, the crew at the Neon Museum is committed to re-invigorating these vibrant objects of Las Vegas history.’
