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
