Hotels near The Neon Museum

The Neon Museum is an outdoor 'boneyard' where the giant signs of demolished casinos and motels are preserved, a glowing graveyard of mid-century Americana. More than 250 signs fill the lot, from the original Stardust and Sahara lettering to a towering skull from Treasure Island, telling the story of the city through its lost landmarks.

Guided and self-guided visits run by day, but the museum is at its best after dark, when many of the restored signs are switched back on and the immersive Brilliant light show animates the rest. It is the most genuinely cultural and photogenic stop in the city.

Pro Tip: Book a night-time slot well ahead - the restored signs and the Brilliant show only come alive after dark, and evening tickets sell out fastest. Pair it with the nearby Fremont Street Experience for a full evening of old-Vegas nostalgia.
