About The Neon Museum Las Vegas

The Neon Museum’s Boneyard gathers historic signs from casinos, motels and local businesses in a dense outdoor collection. Restored pieces glow beside enormous unrestored letters and structures, revealing how typography, fabrication and technology changed as Las Vegas reinvented itself. The visitor center occupies the distinctive shell-shaped lobby from the former La Concha Motel.

Summer operations are entirely at night, currently 8 p.m. to midnight from June through August. From September through May, hours begin earlier. Evening admission starts around $35, while daytime admission in the cooler season costs less. Tickets are timed and advance purchase is strongly recommended.

Brilliant! Jackpot is a separate evening add-on in the North Gallery. Projection mapping and synchronized sound temporarily reanimate about 40 nonworking signs, producing a short immersive show rather than a traditional guided tour. Visitors primarily interested in design history may prefer a guided Boneyard tour; those seeking spectacle should consider the add-on.

The collection is outdoors on gravel with limited shelter. Wear stable shoes, bring water and follow photography rules, which distinguish personal snapshots from commercial or posed shoots. Night visits provide the classic glow, but ground lighting also makes restored and unrestored pieces easier to compare.

A future Arts District expansion is planned, but the museum continues to operate at its North Las Vegas Boulevard campus in 2026. Use the current ticket address rather than navigating to proposed development sites.

Highly recommend booking ahead for The Neon Museum in Las Vegas. The guided tours are a must - one about Las Vegas history and another about Las Vegas in the movies. The Brilliant! experience is also worth adding on, where non-working neon signs are brought back to life with a light installation across the street from the museum. The tour guide was excellent and the staff at the museum are very knowledgeable and friendly. Be sure to check out the gift shop before you leave!
