Item Description
Your package will include a guided tour of the Neon Museum for you and a guest along with a copy of Spectacular!
Located in fabulous downtown Las Vegas, the Neon Museum is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of the city through its most iconic art forms, the neon sign. The Neon Museum’s collection consists of two components: The Neon Boneyard and the selection of restored signs including the Las Vegas Boulevard Signs Project.
The Neon Boneyard is home to over 150 donated and rescued signs dating from the 1930’s to present day. Located within a two-acre outdoor museum space, the unrestored collection includes signs from businesses, motels and celebrated casino resorts originally located throughout the Las Vegas valley.
The Downtown Gallery (Fremont Street at Las Vegas Blvd) and the Las Vegas Signs Project (located on Las Vegas Blvd. between Sahara and Washington Street) feature 15 electrified, restored signs installed as public art throughout the downtown area. These signs are available for viewing 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
SPECTACULAR: A History of Las Vegas Neon provides a new look at the origins of 21st Century neon in Las Vegas and the role of the Neon Museum in rescuing and preserving some of these spectacular signs ("spectacular" is a term used in the neon industry for the largest, most elaborate signs.)
