The Neon Museum

Las Vegas, NV

History

The "Boneyard" holds retired casino signs. Go after dark, when several are relit.

The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an open-air museum of the city’s retired neon signs, known as the Neon Boneyard. More than 200 rescued signs stand on about 0.9 hectares (2.3 acres), including pieces from Caesars Palace, the Moulin Rouge Hotel and the Golden Nugget. The reception is the lobby of the former La Concha Motel, which was moved to the site in 2006.

Many signs are unrestored and do not light up on their own; on the evening tours they are lit from the outside, while restored signs glow again. An app (since 2019) supports self-guided walks. Because the grounds are outdoors, tours can be cancelled in bad weather, in which case guests are rebooked or refunded. In February 2026 the museum announced new additions to the Boneyard, including the Mirage lagoon sign.

The museum is at 770 N Las Vegas Boulevard, north of Fremont Street. Tours are often in high demand, so book ahead. A move is under discussion: after the museum dropped its first plan for two Arts District sites in 2025, Wikipedia reports three other downtown sites under consideration, with no decision recorded there; the current site continues to operate for now (as of October 2026). Check the address before you travel.
