Visit World Famous Iconic Neon Signs! LV Neon Museum Has New Hours!



It’s no secret—Las Vegas summers are scorchers. That’s why the Neon Museum will introduce adjusted summer hours and brand-new evening tours of its open-air Neon Boneyard exhibition.
New, colorful up-lighting is being installed throughout the Neon Boneyard, dramatically illuminating the iconic signs in the museum’s collection. While most of the signs themselves are not electrified, the new custom-designed lighting will showcase them beautifully. The new lighting will make evening tours an attractive option for those who want not only to escape the heat of day, but also want to experience the signs from a dazzling new perspective.

The Neon Museum is open seven days a week. Its La Concha visitors’ center is open daily from 8:30 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. To tour the museum’s Neon Boneyard exhibition area, all visitors are advised to pre-register for a guided tour on the museum’s website at www.neonmuseum.org. Walk-up visitors without an advance booking may not be able to join a tour due to limited capacity. The summer schedule of available guided tours follows:

June 1 – July 31
Daytime tours: 9 a.m., 9:30 a.m., 10 a.m.
Evening tours: 7:30 p.m., 8 p.m., 8:30 p.m., 9 p.m.
