Wish I could rate this place more than 5 stars! What a phenomenal tour and experience. I highly recommend getting the guided tour and experience combo. The tour is about an hour and very informative, ample time to ask questions, take photos and, get up close and personal with all the historic neon signs. The projector show was incredibly well done. Absolutely awesome music and design, very entertaining! We went to their latest time slot available at 9:30PM and it was fantastic. We would probably go back to see the signs in the daylight as well.

Highly recommend visiting this well done museum and walking back in time to see old Las Vegas neon signs from a bygone era. The Brilliant show was very nice add on with narrative and light show. Highly recommend the combo package (which includes both tour and Brilliant show). A guided tour is also highly recommended. Tourguide was very knowledgeable. Have been waiting to do this for a long time so finally able to nab to an evening tour and show time on short notice. Under normal times, highly recommended booking tickets in advance.

This place was awesome with the history told during the guided tour. Also the Brilliant show I honestly had low expectations of but was wowed by it.This is a must go to at night to see the brilliance of light from these signs that have existed for up to 80 years or so. The guides seem to be very knowledgeable with a sense of humor attached so again I say it’s a must visit in Vegas.

A fascinating combo of Vegas history and retro gear. The tour lasts about 40 minutes. Its all outdoors, and involves walking through the grounds. There are regularly placed benches for those who dont feel like standing for long. One important thing to note is that they do NOT allow cameras except phones and tablets.

Just like most of the reviews say: a must to visit! This is a non profit whose mission and vision is a little different from most - to preserve and inform people about Las Vegas history. Think about that when you purchase your ticket. I recommend going at night (and bringing a jacket!!!). I also would suggested doing the guided tour as you learn a lot and aren’t just walking through the “boneyard” looking at the neon signs with no clue of their history. Our guide was Doug and he did an amazing job, kudos to you Doug!

My daughters and I went to the 11:00 PM guided boneyard tour. Late, I know for the girls to be out, but The Neon Museums Security detail is on point. Parking is immediately to the north of The Neon Museum via a one way E McWilliams Avenue which is designated for museum visitors only. Once parked, simply check in with security in the Boneyard Park (where the sign and 2 Palm are). The area in Boneyard Park is fenced off from the street and Security did a great job stopping folks to make sure they were supposed to be there or not.COVID-19 state mandates are fully enforced, so bring mask and hand sanitizer and maintain social distancing.When you go ask for Charlie. She has a passion for Vegas history and moved me from going through the motions of a standard tour to a fully immersed experience with the Rat Pack, Bugsy Siegel and Betty Willis. She takes her time and gives her tourists plenty of time to flash photos and selfies.Pro tip: No video!! Also, go after sunset and after you go by the Chief Hotel Court, pull up Google Maps, pull up the map of your current location, switch to satellite terrain and zoom in to see a very cool Treasure Island Skull staring back at you from space!Enjoy!

We had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Sweeney. Super charismatic and full of information, he taught us about the history here in Las Vegas. Knowing the origin story made our visit to downtown much more interesting. This is a great place to visit. Do not miss it!

The Neon Museum is FANTASTIC!!!We came here for date night and did the Brilliance/Guided tour. So awesome! Worth the admission, for sure. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance. If you get there close to show time, I suggest parking in the Cashman lot (their main lot can get a little crowded).Brilliance was a really neat idea (classic Vegas music and the show was projected on a separate part of the museum to bring the pieces back to life).The tour was great, too. Just enough history and fun facts.Make sure your battery if fully charged for all the pictures youre going to take. Save some $$ for the gift shop (awesome magnets, enamel pins and vintage style shirts).So so so glad we came!!!!

These older signs brought me back to alot of my childhood memories. Back when I was a little girl and my dad took me to Las Vegas for a family vacation . I was only 11-12 years old. The hard rock guitar was moved when I was in my late 40s and I was living here in Las Vegas . Who knew I would be living here. I just remember so much and the Neon Museum confirmed that Ill never forget any of those Memories.I enjoyed this tour very much !!I highly recommend if you want to learn some history of the Las Vegas strip ️

Be sure to book your tickets online before going! It was amazing to see some of the Vegas neon signs of the past.

We did a guided tour and the brilliance show, it was fantastic! Maddie was our tour guide and she was a ball of energy, full of facts and made it very interesting. Josh answered a lot of questions for us during the brilliance show and was super friendly. Highly recommend checking it out!

The neon museum is a great place to see the signs from the vegas hotels, casinos, etc. Parking is free. We were able to take a lot of photos while walking around. We bought the general tickets that didnt include the tour. The visit lasts 45 minutes to an hour. Staff is friendly and professional. Only have 2 photos to share since all our photos are too personal

I really enjoyed the tour. Although the tour was short...there is a lot of interesting historic signs to see. Beautiful at night.

Personally I think this is a must see if you are in Las Vegas. I have been back to visit 3 times now and and absolutely love it. The tour itself is unbelievably informative. The signs they have almost make you feel like you are stepping into the past. Be sure to check out Brilliant as well! It is absolutely amazing! I will definitely be going back to visit it all again. ...

Fun activity if youre in the area and have the time. The guided tour is around 45 minutes, with interesting facts about the lights

Always wanted to visit this place and from the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. Our tour guide Matt was awesome! Very informative, Didn’t rush us, great attitude and had an amazing voice to really get you into that tour enjoying mood. I def recommend coming here.

Very cool museum. A little small, and would recommend going after dark to really enjoy all the beautiful neon.

Awesome place to look around, spend some time with Vegas history and just get out of the hustle and bustle. I got engaged here during the Tim Burton exhibit and it was an amazing experience. Its amazing how these pieces of history still work and can transport you back in time. Would be fun for all ages, including children.

Absolutely loved this place! I got the Guided Tour + Brilliant and it was awesome! So much history here! When you first get here a security guard greets you and asks if you have tickets. You then go to the waiting area which is across the street from the entrance to the museum. Its a secured area with a fence all around so youre not out in the street. It also has plenty of room so people can spread out to social distance. You are required to wear a mask while youre waiting and then also while youre in the museum and during the tours. They also take your temperature before entering the museum as well as have you go through a metal detector like the airport. During the guided tour, a staff member walked us through the boneyard and explained all the history of the signs here based on the section we were in. We were able to take pictures during the tour as well. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun, she kept the mood light and funny! After the guided tour, we had to go back out to the waiting area across the street until our Brilliant tour started. I have to say, if youre not willing to pay for the combo ticket, definitely go see the Brilliant tour! I very much enjoyed this one more because they take you to a completely different area with different signs and these all are set up around a big circular area where you can sit down and watch the signs light up to music and a video about Las Vegas! I highly recommend seeing this tour! After the Brilliant tour we headed to the gift shop where they have a very nice selection of souvenirs if you want to purchase any. Overall Im definitely happy I visited and would recommend it if you are looking for something to do since things are still not quite back to normal in Vegas yet.

Awesome Las Vegas experience, show cases the best Neon signs from the earlier days of Vegas up to the most recent years. I have to send out a ton of love and respect to Elvis fans everywhere! His star is presented nicely in its new home from the Las Vegas Hilton. Sorry I gave that secret away! This one is a bit of walking but the team at the Neon museum also get 28 stars for making this a great experience.

Thank you Neon Museum for appreciating locals!! We went on a Tuesday, which is Pay as you go so we left a small donation and tipped our guide. They are so knowledgeable I felt they deserved a bigger tip! The Brilliant show is absolutely amazing!!! I want to go back just for that. Its also very family friendly and my kids really enjoyed it. I danced the whole time, so much fun.

Interesting display of neon lights. majority of them are not in a working condition however I didnt realize how much it actually cost to restore them into working condition. A little bit on the pricey side for entrance fees but its a nice history lesson of Las Vegas.

We loved our evening guided tour of the bone yard. Our guide Maddie did an amazing job of keeping it interesting and fun! We have a family with younger children and they all enjoyed it. We would definitely do it again!

Great experience to see the history of Vegas. Lots of near old signs.

Third visit to the Neon Museum... first nighttime tour and first time seeing the Brilliant show. All around grade A, top notch place to go. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Loved this place! It has been a bucket list item of mine for years and Im so happy that I got to go at night with my best friend! If you are interested in the history of Vegas or have just a fascination with the lights/signs of Vegas, this tour is for you. Our tour guide was amazing and you could tell that he truly loves what he does. Highly recommend!

What a great experience, very enlightening! Our tour guide Bob was so fantastic, what a gentleman who obviously enjoys his work. Beautiful, relaxing tour through the history of Vegas.

Great tour to do during covid-19 shutdown or any other time. Cool picture opportunities and chance to see iconic signs of yrester year up close!

Love this place. Employees were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. It feels magical walking through the forest of neon signs.

Enjoyed my time here. The neon signs are beautiful. It would be a really great place for a photo shoot. If you want photos here Id look into booking the Portrait hour.The only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to the facemask requirements at all times, even for a quick selfie outdoors 6 feet away from other guests. While I understand the reasoning it was a huge bummer.

A real experience!If you want to know another side of Vegas, go there! The place deserve to be known. It’s really impressive.We couldn’t did the visit by night but i guess it’s beautiful.

We started with the guided tour and Wyatt was awesome. Next we did the Brilliant. Its was ok, interesting, bit there was a miscommunication from the person that walked us back and Sara the guide inside the Brilliant. After she got involved with her supervisor. They got our problem resolved. Thank you Sara.

I visited here in 2018 and had such a memorable time that I have yet to delete any photos off my phone. Neon museum had a wonderful event for kids. Thank you Las Vegas for keeping history alive.

It was a fantastic Museum, I enjoyed the tour the lights were glowing and beautiful and the tour was very informative on the history of the city I love. Madison did a fantastic job of explaining everything and making fun jokes to add her own flavor to it. Definitely a must see spot for anyone coming to Vegas or any history fans.

Very poor excuse for a museum. Only 3 signs were lit while there. There were signs stacked on top of each other so you couldn’t see the ones behind. It looked more like a junkyard (it is outdoors) than a museum. Employees were extremely rude about taking group pictures (she said it was against their policy to take a picture of our group?) Website says it will take 45 minutes to walk through, but really only took 12 for us. Not worth $20 a person.

Great small tour. Took advantage of the locals deal! Cheap. Great history on the signs and how Las Vegas came to be. I would recommend if you havent gone before. Thank you.

Awesome time. The guided tour was incredible and then the Brilliant show def lived up to its name

This is a place you have to experience. They have preserved the real history of Las Vegas.Tour guide was exceptional. Really knew his history. He also had the passion that is needed for this material.

Best stop on my whole trip was well worth the price

Ive come to this place both at night time and day time and both have been a wonderful experience for me. The day time visit was fun because its pretty interesting to see the lamp lights off during the day as well as the huge boulder thats above the walkway. That The Neon Museum is pretty scary to walk under but makes for a great photo op!

I was looking for something to do this weekend and I was disappointed in my options so I did a little research online and discovered the LV Plugs Best Museums in Las Vegas post and I was shocked that I have never hear of the neon museum before. I know its probably because I never Google search museums, but this was as much an art exhibit as it is a museum. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my experience and Ill recommend the Neon Museum to my friends. Thanks again LV Plug for the recommendation.

Very cool experience. It isnt that much to see but what you do see is incredible history. The museum is outside so it is HOT. They sell bottled water in the gift shop. Honestly they should give you one for free but not a big deal.

This is a really cool place with so much history to be shared! The tour guide, Bob, was excellent, and his tour was entertaining as well as educational!

This was a great experience all the signs where amazing our guide was hilarious. Splurge and get the combo you will not be disappointed.

This was fantastic! Great for Tim Burton fans or those who just love the history of Vegas! Im a big Tim Burton fan so this was the main reason we went to Vegas. Its way out in the ghetto, so I was happy to see the many security guards out. The taxi driver emphasized not to walk back to the strip! The environment here was mesmerizing. I absolutely enjoyed seeing and reading the inspiration behind Tim Burtons work.

The tour guide was super funny and very informative. We were taught the history of every piece. Way more than what I thought we were getting into. Loved it

This place is great! My boyfriend and I went in a tour and we loved it. Our guide was very friendly and knew a lot of information, if you have any questions they sure know the answerThey tours are small (max 20 ppl) and they take your temperature at the entrance and ask you to wear your mask during the whole tour.I really recommend this place.

What an amazing place! We went at night and it was so beautiful. The tour guide was amazing. I tend to ask a lot of questions and he was able to answer all if them. Our tour group was pretty big but he made sure we could all see and hear everything! There were also a number of places to sit through the complex if that is a concern for you. Over all this was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.

We LOVED the neon museum. One of the highlights of our trip for sure. Dave was an excellent tour guide and gave us a lot of information both about how neon works and the history of Vegas. They also just finished restoring the Moulin Rouge sign which is such an incredible piece of history. The museum is also taking a lot of covid precautions and felt very safe. A must see in Vegas.

Cool museum. Small outdoor space, packed with fun signs. Some have been restored and are lit up. The visitor center and gift shop after inside a relocated morel lobby with a unique shell design. Price is a bit steep for the size. They dont allow cameras other than cell phones. The colors during the day are better in my opinion than going at night. They offer you an umbrella because it can get warm out there with no shade in the yard. There yes a covered stirring area with a few tables just off the back door. Enjoyable walk through on your own, even without the history component. About 30 minutes if you are on your own. Many opportunities for great pictures.

Very cool piece of vegas history. Although there were two types of tickets you can get. The guided tour takes you actually the neon lights within the gates while the brilliant show is just a 25 min show that has music and have the old vegas neon sign but they use a lighting system to give you the show. pretty awesome but I recommend getting the guided tour and just walk over to the brilliant tour right after.

Awesome!!!!! Loved it! An absolute mystery do!! Learn history of vegas and appreciate its roots. Great guide and the show after was absolutely sweet!!

It was interesting and compelling. Our guide Bob was very knowledgeable about the electric and neon signs consigned to the bone yard. You learn a bit of history of old Las Vegas and see in dazzling detail the care they take with the legacy.The Brilliance part of the tour was also fun. I wont spoil it for you. You have to see it to believe it.My sister and I enjoyed it very much.

Definitely a cool museum to check out. Pretty lights and Vegas history. The guided tour is informative and its cool to see where the old signs end up at. One of their oldest signs is from the 1930s! Definitely take an evening tour.

Took the whole family and had a blast. The guided tour was well worth the trip to get a lot of the history behind these relics that so uniquely capture Vegas.

Booked both tours as a package deal (Guided and Brilliance) and my favorite was the Brilliance by far.The guided tour talked about the historic and classic signs that were on displace and if they had any significance to history. Some were just there because of design style or art feel.The Brilliance experience was a section on its own, with non-working signs there were brought to life using projectors and music. This was a really amazing show. I think I would do this show again on a future visit, just be cause it was really nice.

It was cool to see & learn some Vegas history. We did the guided tour & the brilliance show. Tours are reasonably priced but the items in the gift shop are a bit over priced.

So awesome! Its sad that most of old Vegas is long gone, but at the Neon Museum they have done what they can to save and preserve some of the old neon signs that have been a presence in Las Vegas. Highly recommend it

We did the Brilliant show on a hot Sunday night. Great narrated light show. Hope to be back for the guided tour some time when the heat dies down. Nice deal for locals right now.. $10!

My son took me to The Neon Museum while I was in Las Vegas and it was one of my favorite experiences in Las Vegas. This museum is very cool. The iconic signs are on display and in full color. Its like walking through a time machine. I feel like Im back in Las Vegas around the time I was growing up. Incredible experience.

Second time visiting this museum. We had a great Tour guide, Jake, and not only learned new stuff about the signs but saw new signs too.

This was an amazing tour and show. Lived here my whole life and so much history I didnt know.

Loved it other than the rude workers preventing pictures because we were a guided tour. Luckily our guide was not involved. We were so turned off, we almost requested a refund. Im glad we didnt, but some remedial training is definitely needed. Let your paying customers take whatever pics they want......

Went @ 8:30pm & It was over100 degrees. Just take into consideration the majority of the experience is outside. Great guided tour and Brilliance show afterwards. Really enjoyed all of it!! Rich History brought to life!!

It was nice, but not what we were expecting. They werent true neon signs, it was light projected, but it still have you the effect. Lasted all of 20 minutes. To see the real neon signs, you had to be a member . After the show, while looking through the fence at the real neon signs, I was asked to step away from the gate. Seriously ??

I recommend doing the guided tour and the 30 minute show. Very informative and entertaining. Youll look at neon in a whole new way. Im not sure how I missed this before. Glad I found it this trip. I would go again!

So much fun for all, and lots to remember and to learn about. Loved going!

This place is so uniquely Las Vegas. Neon is an art that is slowly being taken over by other forms of lighting such as LED. Its great that this museum functions as a neon boneyard and as a place where some of the signs get restored back to their former glory. You can hear the buzz of the neon through the ones that are still working. Came here during Tim Burtons special exhibit and glad I didnt miss out. He had some beautiful pieces that were incorporated throughout the museum.

Not what i had in mind. But I did the night where it was by donation. Had a guided tour. Maddie was a great tour guide. Loved her spirit. Brilliance was also not what I had imagined but it was a great show either way and I enjoyed taking pictures, learning about the history of Las Vegas, and the tour.

The guides name was Sweeny. He was excellent. Had the most fun and laughed at his presentation. A good comedian. I will return with friends but will only want Sweeny as my guide. The Museum is interesting and historical. Money well spent.

What a fabulous experience! This was a fascinating experience to get to know Vegas by neon lights and what better way to start off at The Neon Museum. I was fortunate to see the Tim Burton neon exhibition during my visit. A must visit!

Must go!! Absolutely beautiful, definitely going back to see the Brilliant Show. Also recommend night visit for added effect. Thank you Vegas! #Ssshhh

Ive always wanted to experience this famous sightseeing attraction and it truly didnt disappoint. Especially when it exhibited one of my heroes art... Tim Burton!! Traveled from Los Angels just to see his Lost Vegas exhibition. Definitely will remember this one for the books. Wouldnt mind coming back to check this place out on a regular circumstance.

My wife and I visited this museum on a recent visit to Las Vegas in late 2019. We had a great time exploring the museum and the old neon lights that they have available from old demolished or non existent hotels. From start to finish I can say it will take you about 30 minutes. Tim Burton also has some added extras that I am sure visitors will enjoy.

Make sure you make a reservation online if you plan to visit anytime soon. Availability is limited right now obviously so we could only do the Brilliant experience. While we had a good time it just seemed over too quickly and left us wanting more. I would recommend coming by at least once, some cool historical signs are used to perform a roughly 20 minute light show. There is also a guided tour option

Super cool. The history of all the signs is very interesting. A little pricey for the tour but im glad we went.

We went on a date night during the Tim burton exhibit and it was phenomenal! The staff seem to like their jobs and it’s a cool place to walk around. Def recommend if you’re in Vegas!

Oh man Great place and not In the middle of the desert ( like the moves show). Over 60 signs to see great guided tour (very Suggested). The information guided brought wonder and life to the neon signs from the 1920s, 50s 70s and 90s. their are benches to sit gift shop for after. Wonderful place

My husband and I had a great time. We did the guided tour + brilliance experience. Maddie was our tour guide and she was phenomenal! You can tell she really loves what she does and it made the tour fun and interesting.

Had a great time. The Brilliant show was really cool. Ask for the locals discount

Please make sure you purchase tickets in advance or youre going to waste time and money on transportation because you will most likely be turned away at the door, especially on the weekends. We called the Neon Museum prior to driving over and we were told they were open but they failed to mention that they were completely booked until 9:30pm. Please be more transparent with people when they call so that they dont waste time and money driving over to your location when youre at capacity.

This place is awesome ! Dave and Sarah were great guides and front desk staff was super friendly too. You get to learn a lot about Las Vegas history, even being a local I learned a lot. I definitely recommend this tour and I would love to return again !

We did it by day and by night and it always a wonderful experience. The guided tour gave you a great insight on las vegas history. The guide were nice and passionned. Plus, you can take some beautiful pictures. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for the everyone!

Staff were the best! Super friendly and helpful. They clearly loved their jobs and it showed. Would highly recommend this place to everyone going to Las Vegas.

The neon museum was fun. Ive actually been meaning to visit for several years. Our tour guide Madie was amazing, really added something to the experience.

Founded in 1996, The Neon Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. Also known as the Neon Boneyard, and featuring Director Tim Burtons Lost Vegas exhibit through April 12, 2020, it was for the second time that this iconic museum was visited in March and comparing a guided daytime tour to self-directed nighttime exploration the experiences are entirely different but both highly enjoyable.

It was very educational. Our guided tour offered great back stories and a look into what Las Vegas once was, glitz, glamor and mystery. We did both the guided tour and the brilliant. I recommend both but definitely go at night. The lights on the signs and the lights during the brilliant tour are only dazzling at night.

At first the process tag of 30 dollars put me off a bit, but I was pleasantly surprised, this outdoor museum is great!We went during the Tim Burton exhibition and had an awesome time walking around and looking at all the bits and bobs they had.Would really recommend.

You can take pictures on your phone, but you cant take the same pictures on your camera even for personal use. I didnt mind to pay extra but I wasnt even let in with camera. I decided to skip my visit to this museum. There are a lot of cool places in Vegas to explore.

The Neon Museum is a must see while in Vegas. Even more so while they have the Tim Burton Exhibits in the museum. It was awesome to see all of the old Vegas signs and learn about some of the History. The Tim Burton pieces were so great as well.

The Neon Museum was so amazing! The tour was so informative. Will go back again.

A bit pricey but still a phenomenal place and experience.

Love love love this place! Great tour, tons of Las Vegas history. Our guide Matt shared entertaining stories about casinos and characters who make Las Vegas sparkle.

Great place, so take photos. Interesting fact placards posted around. Good gift store.

Great place to see signs from years ago. Who ever thought the Hard Rock Casino sign would be in a graveyard.

Excellent little stroll through Las Vegas history. Sometimes old and busted and sometimes dazzling and beautiful. Great tour!!

Amazing place to visit cant wait for the new expansion to open. Brought back so many memories of when I was a child and young adult.

It is located about a mile from the old down town strip. Happened to be a Tum Burton exhibit showing intertwined with the old neon signs. The Tim Burton show is only at night so we did not see that. It was reminiscent and nostalgic to see some of the old casino and other neon signs. A little sad as well as just shows how fast time goes by. It has a lot of history and fun to learn Tod but about Las Vegas of yesteryear.

Amazing! Was a great history of Las Vegas and neon signage. Did the guided tour and the guide was knowledgeable and answered every question he was asked. Would highly recommend.

Awful !Not worth the fee!The staff is really rude and they give you seconds to take pictures.I guess you’d be really happy if you never traveled before or haven’t seen real customer service.The guided tours are obligatory in the evening and the tour Gide Helen ?! I think Got offended if you stopped to take a picture and missed a little bit of her lecture.Absolutely inconvenient.
