Neon Museum Boneyard Tours This Saturday
By R | May 16, 2008
The Neon Museum Boneyard will be open to the public from 9 am to 2 pm - Saturday, May 17th. Museum staff and volunteers will be giving guided tours of the Boneyard at 10 am, 11 am, 12 noon and 1 pm.
The collection of non-restored historic signs are kept outdoors on a 3 acre site in Las Vegas. The signs have been donated or loaned by individuals, businesses and sign companies.
Admission is $5 per person. No reservations are required to attend this event. Photography welcomed for personal use.
I went on this tour last December and found it very interesting. I learned a lot about the history of many hotels that have come and gone.
When you are finished with the Boneyard Tour, you may want to check out more refurbished signs downtown. These refurbished signs are available for viewing 24 hours a day 7 days a week, but, of course, are best viewed after dark.
The first group of signs can be found near the intersection of Fremont Street Experience and Las Vegas Boulevard and consist of:
- The Horse and Rider from the old Hacienda Hotel (Las Vegas Blvd & Fremont St )
- Aladdin’s Lamp from the old Aladdin Hotel (northwest corner of Fremont St & Las Vegas Blvd)
- The Flame Restaurant sign (southwest corner of Fremont St & Las Vegas Blvd)
- Chief Hotel Court sign (northeast corner of Fremont St& 4th St)
- Andy Anderson sign -the Anderson Dairy mascot (southeast corner of Fremont St & 4th St)
The rest are displayed on the 3rd Street cul-de-sac adjacent to The Fremont Street Experience canopy.
