I had no idea you can only enter via a guided tour - that kind of messed with my schedule and it not clear on their brochure. The fact they had hourly tours was clear but not that you couldn't just walk around in between the tours. I did enjoy the tour and people who like history and knowing something... More

The tour in the neon graveyard was the one thing we looked forward to most during our stay in Las Vegas. However, it was not as fun and interesting as we hoped. The site itself is quite small, however with some interesting stories it could have been great fun, I can imagine that (although I did expect a "bigger" (and... More

This museum is very organized and controlled. You proceed in small groups. Your guide tells you about the signs. The signs are all propped up and there are walkways making this into aisles most of the time. You are not allowed to touch anything. There are a lot of signs, and they are all very interesting to see up close.... More

We did this tour on the morning before our flight back to the UK. It is a bit out of the way but easy to get to. Took about an hour and the guide gave us some good insights on the history of Las vegas and the development of the city as a tourist destination. Particularly liked the motel that... More

During our visit in late April, we dropped by the Neon Musuem at the end of the day, and got on the last tour (didn't prepurchase tickets). The museum is really close to Fremont Street, and from our hotel (Golden Nugget) it was just a few minutes drive. The signs are not restored, but provide a rich history of Vegas... More

I have been wanting to see the boneyard for many years but never made it. When they made the change into this museum and guided tour I was a but apprehensive...I just wanted to take photos. Also half of the group wasn't into history much less look at old signs. But they all enjoyed it. The guide made it fun... More

We had been thinking of visiting this museum for a couple of years and finally made it. Now we're sorry that it took so long and will definitely go back again. If you've been a Las Vegas visitor anytime over the past 50 years then there are signs that you will see that will definitely bring back memories... and if... More

The signs are in various states of repair and renovation and arranged alongside a pathway the curls through Las Vegas' history. Because of the fragility of the signs... More
