Great ~30 min stop if you miss the old Las Vegas. A quick outside tour of decommissioned signs. Only about 10% that still light up so daytime should be on par with nighttime
Joe MontesMarch 27, 2017
The tour was the perfect length of time (one hour) and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was super interesting to learn about Las Vegas culture as well.

fabulous place I went there when it hadn't been fixed up yet - 2011 or 2012. and it's so great! I suggested that the big slipper outside should be a magnet! the postcard machine is a fantastic idea!!!

This tour is worth every penny. Nicole was one of the best tour guides I've ever seen, she cares about every piece in the collection and knows so much about all of it. Bring some water on your tour!

The Brilliant Tour at night is basically a novelty light projection show set to music. You are led to one spot surrounded by old casino signs, and stand for a 20ish min presentation. Worth it? Sure.
Linda ShermanApril 14, 2019
Wow, so much history and the volunteers are have a lot of information to share. Ask questions, there’s no place like this. Our next visit will include the BRILLIANT tour.
Tana BabcockNovember 13, 2016
LOVED THE TOUR! I'd go a few more times to attempt to remember all of the factoids the tour guide will shower you with. We went at night - spectacular!
Mary RodriguezAugust 27, 2018
Very interesting and cool that they preserved the old signs. But honestly, it took us about 10 mins to see it all and it’s HOT as blazes during the August day!

During night tours, the lights will be on. Guided tours are best. Pay a little more and you can get a dual ticket for Mob Museum at a discount. Buy in advance to get the time you want!
Clifton SalasJanuary 19, 2013
Purchase your tickets online. They sell out quickly. Also, allow enough time to make it to the museum. Traffic is heavy at time in Vegas.
Melissa Michaud NishanJanuary 5, 2018
This was on my list to visit, but tickets always sold out. Buy in advance, so worth it. Great tour of Vegas history! Well done!
Amy ChinJanuary 27, 2016
Away from the cacophony of the Strip and Fremont District, is this little gem. Take a nighttime tour. (And for a chuckle, check out the Google map satellite view too - look for the 'skull')
Tim GolemanMarch 20, 2015
Amazing and must visit in Vegas. If you go get your tickets in advance because tours do sell out. But one of the best places I have been in Vegas
Julia SeamanFebruary 7, 2016
Awesome tour and sign yard. They don't let you take large bags out, no free wondering by yourself, and often run out of tickets early in the day.
Eric AndersenFebruary 22, 2017
Take a night tour — definitely worth it! This sign is celebrating the founding of Las Vegas in 1905
Shereen RayleJuly 17, 2014
Great fun if you're into signs, history or just the awesomeness of Vegas's lights. If visiting in the summer, try to get the first tour of the day or do the night tour to avoid the heat..
AFAR MediaNovember 25, 2014
The tours at the Neon Museum sell out months in advance. A walk through the museum's famous "Boneyard" (where neon goes to die) is a must-see. Read more
MariApril 18, 2016
The best place to see the vintage signs of Vegas. Book a tour ahead of time. Only 1 camera and 1 lens per person.
Diane ThompsonApril 1, 2018
We had a wonderful tour guide. Her name was Denyce. Very informative. She gave us plenty of time to take photos.
Travel + LeisureJanuary 30, 2013
This formerly appointment-only collection is now open to the public: 150 neon signs date back as far as the 1930's and include iconic displays from the Moulin Rouge, the Desert Inn, and the Stardust.
Otel.comJanuary 4, 2012
This is where you'll get to see the cool and vintage signs from the city's past. This is Las Vegas history told by means of old signs from old casinos and other Vegas attractions.
Mary RodriguezAugust 27, 2018
Cool that they saved the old signs. But hit as blazes(it’s all outdoors-no shade) and there was only 10-15 mins of stuff to see. Wouldn’t Pay the entrance fit that again.
Jeremy MooreMay 25, 2018
A must do when visiting Vegas! An exciting combination of history, design, and art. Do it at night!
Daniel KivatinosFebruary 10, 2019
Amazing place, highly recommended.
Madm FiaOctober 1, 2013
Best part about Vegas. This outdoor sign graveyard exhibits a fascinating history. Go at sunset so you can see the signs in the day light and lit up.
Louise SutherlandNovember 4, 2014
Absolutely fabulous. A Vegas MUST SEE! Redeveloped museum is much more accessible & buy visiting you help to restore History
Ben ReynoldsJanuary 23, 2014
Great non-profit museum dedicated to displaying, rehabilitating and refurbishing the classic artisan neon signs that defined Las Vegas. your ticket price goes towards their efforts, great tour!
OtterBoxSeptember 23, 2011
Cool place. Check out old neon signs from the Vegas strip in this walking museum. They have dedicated themselves to preserving Las Vegas' historical iconic art.
Morgan RusnakApril 13, 2016
Do NOT miss this! Fantastic tour, with a perfect mix of history and trivia. Absolute highlight of the trip.
Smash AmahleyNovember 18, 2013
Great tour. Try and get a tour with Ian, he was such an awesome guide and very knowledgable!
Laura PowellApril 4, 2014
We loved the Neon Museum. Lots of stuff to learn about old Vegas signs. Highly recommend!
Beth JohnsonMarch 24, 2013
Perfect time to visit is March/April before it gets too hot. Such great insight into not only the history of neon, but the back stories on Vegas.
Christine BJuly 27, 2016
The coolest attraction in Vegas, I'm convinced. See awesome signs and learn a little about Vegas history.
Ryan PalmerAugust 6, 2019
Worth every penny! Use the umbrellas during the day. Come back at night for the light show.
Amanda McNeilDecember 23, 2017
You get time at the end of the tour to take extra pictures. Cute and unique souvenirs too.
jansen cJanuary 27, 2016
Nice little tour about the history of Las Vegas neon light, not too far away from the strip
Julie ONealOctober 13, 2013
You can only see the signs with a guided tour and tours sell out quickly. Day tours are $18 and night tours are $25. If u are a NV resident you get a discount.
Cynthia BacsoNovember 7, 2018
This is a must stop on a trip to Vegas!
Ruth BanburyJanuary 3, 2019
Great display of old neon signs, I went just after dark for a great view of some lit up
Amy DrekeApril 30, 2019
Loved the tour and our guide was very knowledgeable!!
NatalieSeptember 27, 2016
You can buy a tour pass to the neon museum and a ticket to the mob museum for only $30! Highly recommend.
YosiaJuly 5, 2017
Interesting history, cool display -- book in advanced, ticket/tours get sold out
James WebbSeptember 5, 2016
Great tour guide! She's a local who actually saw many of the signs where they originally were.
Greg0ry TestaOctober 20, 2012
Been here twice. Worth the money and desert sun. The museum is on the strip and the bone yard is my favorite.
Nick KapuzaOctober 25, 2016
the tour was insightful, fun, and even touching at times. Manny was a fantastic docent.
Creen D.October 1, 2014
Very cool place to see old school neon signs from Vegas yesteryears. Bring your camera!
Tavio EscamillaAugust 13, 2014
Great photo ops! The hour-long tour was packed with history and worth the admission!
Jill UrbanekApril 20, 2019
Highlight of Vegas. Go at night and do the tour + the brilliant show it is fascinating.
Ryan HolversonMay 9, 2012
Very neat but can get very hot as there is no shade. Will be nice when visitors center is open. Deena was an excellent tour guide.
American Eagle OutfittersFebruary 29, 2012
A refuge for decommissioned exhibits of a quintessential Las Vegas art. The collection currently tops 150 pieces from Las Vegas motels, businesses, casinos and resorts from the 1930s to the '90s
