<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-about-the-neon-museum-las-vegas">About the Neon Museum Las Vegas</h2>



<p>The Neon Museum is a 2.6-acre non-profit museum of signs from old Las Vegas casinos and businesses. Founded in 1996 the museum collects, preserves, and displays these iconic neon signs for educational and historic purposes. When you arrive at the museum, you&#8217;ll start at the visitors center, which is a restored shell from the defunct La Concha Motel. From there, you&#8217;ll tour the Neon Boneyard, which consists of over 250 neon signs showcasing the history of Las Vegas as well as trends in sign technology and design.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-when-to-visit-the-neon-museum">When to Visit the Neon Museum</h2>



<p>The Neon Museum is open year-round from 2-10 p.m. Seeing the Neon Boneyard lit up at night is a real highlight, so I recommend the evening admission with guided tour. Blue hour, which typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes after sunset, is a great time for photography as there is still a decent amount of light and you can often capture an interesting blue hue in the sky. Note that all the neon signs are displayed outside, so dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.</p>







<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-much-does-the-neon-museum-cost">How much does the Neon Museum Cost?</h2>



<p>Daytime admission is $20 for adults, $10 for children (7-17), and $16 for locals. </p>



<p>Evening admission with a guided tour is $25 for adults, $10 for children (7-17), and $21 for locals.</p>



<p>Brilliant! is $23 for adults, $11 for children (7-17), and $17 for locals. </p>



<p>Children 6 and under are free. Military, student, and senior discounts are available.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-get-to-the-neon-museum">How to get to the Neon Museum</h2>



<p>The Neon Museum is located on Las Vegas Boulevard North, more than five miles from the central part of the Las Vegas strip which includes the Bellagio and the Aria Resorts. If you have a rental car you can make the 15-minute drive to the Neon Museum. You can also take a taxi, the bus (about 40 minutes), or walk (about 90 minutes) to the Neon Museum. The bus will be the cheapest option while driving or taking a taxi will be the fastest.</p>
