I read about the Neon Museum on a website about interesting places to visit in Vegas. The Neon Museum is a non-profit organization in which volunteers work to refurbish and restore the neon signs from the old casinos, hotels, and restaurants which have fallen to the sands of time. it is located just a short drive north on Las Vegas Blvd. N, two blocks north of Fremont Street.. I decided to take the night tour after talking to the receptionist. Not only are some of the old signs lit up at night, but they have special lighting which gives the place a creepy feel at night.
The tour was excellent. The guides give you a history about neon, the gas and the artistry of creating the neon lights. They also give you the history behind each of the old signs. You will see the original signs of the Stardust, the Frontier, Golden Nugget, among others. If you are tired of the casinos and want to do something fun and off the beaten track, I encourage you to visit the Neon Museum aka "Neon Graveyard".
