  • My awesome girlfriend found this tour. I had heard about this place and even seen it in a few movies and TV shows but I didn't know regular people could take tours. About a year ago they installed LED lights so they could do night tours. It was really cool. If you do a night tour during the colder months don't forget a jacket. It gets cold out there. It was very interesting. Not just seeing the signs but all of the history behind them. There were not too many people on our tour on a Saturday night but there were more people at the museum then I expected there to be. It is nice to know that people know about this place and that they are doing ok. The main lobby is the lobby of an old hotel. The people who owned the hotel didn't just want to tear it down when it went out of business so they gave it to the museum and the moved it down to their location. It is very nice. Retro but not run down and dirty. They have different gifts items on sale and displayed around the lobby. Plus these two motion activated screens that when you stood in front of and moved your hand over the different categories on screen it gave you little snippets of history about Vegas. I guess the history of the town is one thing you don't really think about when you come here. Plus it seems like the town is pretty good about getting rid of it's old historic places for the new and improved. It is all about the latest and greatest. Got to keep people coming back and spending money. History be damned. I didn't know it cost about $10,000 to restore just a small sign. So it is no wonder most of them are not lit up but the LED lights do a good job of lighting them up enough so you can see them. These are huge signs meant to be able to be seen from even far away. So I think even if they were all restored and lit up like they were originally you would go blind walking around right in front of them. They do have a few of them restored and lit up but most of them that they restore they put back out in street for the public to enjoy. This is a cool tour. I would recommend it to others for sure. I especially like all of the history behind the signs. It is a different thing to do in Vegas.
