Amazing. If you like Vegas junk and Vegas history, come here immediately. The artifacts are fascinating and the tour guide was incredible. You won't be disappointed.
A few things to note:
- The museum is not open to the public (yet). It is scheduled tours only. In order to get into the boneyard, you need to book a spot on a tour (usually 12-15 people) in advance. It will cost you $15 and usually runs for about an hour. Totally worth it.
- If you visit in the summer, make sure to bring a hat, umbrella, etc. There is very little shade in the boneyard so gets pretty toasty. We went in October and I left soaking wet. Luckily the tour guide handed out bottled water at the end of the tour.
- If you're staying on the strip, take the bus. A cab will run you at least $20. If you're staying on Fremont, you might be able to walk.
So, next time you're in town, do yourself a favor and visit the Neon Museum. The tour is not only visually stunning but a great history lesson. It's really great to see that at least someone is preserving and sharing a slice of this city's rich history.
