AmateurConciergeDecember 21, 2017Great ~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, 2017The 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.
KinipelaJLNFebruary 23, 2016fabulous 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!!!

NatalieSeptember 27, 2016This 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!
Linda ShermanApril 14, 2019Wow, 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.
Erika FinnimoreApril 27, 2018The 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.
Eric AndersenFebruary 22, 2017Take a night tour — definitely worth it! This sign is celebrating the founding of Las Vegas in 1905
Tim GolemanMarch 20, 2015Amazing 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
Tana BabcockNovember 13, 2016LOVED 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!
Melissa Michaud NishanJanuary 5, 2018This was on my list to visit, but tickets always sold out. Buy in advance, so worth it. Great tour of Vegas history! Well done!
Miles ThurstonSeptember 3In Vegas’ glow, where neon dreams ignite, Old signs whisper tales in vibrant light. History’s glow, a dazzling display, The Neon Museum, where past meets today.✨
Mary RodriguezAugust 27, 2018Very 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!- Katie WhalonNovember 7, 2018During 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!
- Shereen RayleJuly 17, 2014Great 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..
Jeremy MooreMay 25, 2018A must do when visiting Vegas! An exciting combination of history, design, and art. Do it at night!
Clifton SalasJanuary 19, 2013Purchase your tickets online. They sell out quickly. Also, allow enough time to make it to the museum. Traffic is heavy at time in Vegas.
AFAR MediaNovember 25, 2014The 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
Morgan RusnakApril 13, 2016Do NOT miss this! Fantastic tour, with a perfect mix of history and trivia. Absolute highlight of the trip.
Travel + LeisureJanuary 30, 2013This 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.
Amy ChinJanuary 27, 2016Away 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')
Otel.comJanuary 4, 2012This 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.
Ruth BanburyJanuary 3, 2019Great display of old neon signs, I went just after dark for a great view of some lit up
Ben ReynoldsJanuary 23, 2014Great 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!
Julia SeamanFebruary 7, 2016Awesome 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.
Louise SutherlandNovember 4, 2014Absolutely fabulous. A Vegas MUST SEE! Redeveloped museum is much more accessible & buy visiting you help to restore History
MariApril 18, 2016The best place to see the vintage signs of Vegas. Book a tour ahead of time. Only 1 camera and 1 lens per person.
- NatalieSeptember 27, 2016You can buy a tour pass to the neon museum and a ticket to the mob museum for only $30! Highly recommend.
- Diane ThompsonApril 1, 2018We had a wonderful tour guide. Her name was Denyce. Very informative. She gave us plenty of time to take photos.
- Mary RodriguezAugust 27, 2018Cool 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.
Madm FiaOctober 1, 2013Best 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.
OtterBoxSeptember 23, 2011Cool 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.
Christine BJuly 27, 2016The coolest attraction in Vegas, I'm convinced. See awesome signs and learn a little about Vegas history.
Julie ONealOctober 13, 2013You 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.
Laura PowellApril 4, 2014We loved the Neon Museum. Lots of stuff to learn about old Vegas signs. Highly recommend!
jansen cJanuary 27, 2016Nice little tour about the history of Las Vegas neon light, not too far away from the strip
Beth JohnsonMarch 24, 2013Perfect 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.
American Eagle OutfittersFebruary 29, 2012A 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
Rhonda FleitmanMarch 26, 2014Very interesting place. I learned a lot about Vegas history. You'll have a new appreciation for all of the lights in Vegas!
Smash AmahleyNovember 18, 2013Great tour. Try and get a tour with Ian, he was such an awesome guide and very knowledgable!
Kirk LittleJanuary 19, 2016So very informative, a great way to learn some of the history behind Las Vegas. Be sure to bring your camera!
Amanda McNeilDecember 23, 2017You get time at the end of the tour to take extra pictures. Cute and unique souvenirs too.
James WebbSeptember 5, 2016Great tour guide! She's a local who actually saw many of the signs where they originally were.
Ryan PalmerAugust 6, 2019Worth every penny! Use the umbrellas during the day. Come back at night for the light show.
Jill UrbanekApril 20, 2019Highlight of Vegas. Go at night and do the tour + the brilliant show it is fascinating.
Jeremy WilcoxMarch 8, 2015A must-do tour in Vegas. It's really an hour-long guided history tour of Vegas, using the signs as storytelling devices.
Vito CamardellaDecember 7, 2021You MUST buy separate tickets for the boneyard tour and the Brilliant show. There is No combo ticket. No cameras but cellphone pics ok.
