Road Trip - Neon Boneyard, Las Vegas



We have been to Las Vegas plenty of times.  Sometimes people ask us why we keep going back instead of somewhere new.  We travel to plenty of other places, but we keep going back to Vegas because it can be something new every time you go!  Besides the casinos and great restaurants, there are so many things to see and do.  From dune buggies in the desert to world-class spas to learning about the history of Las Vegas.  

I just got back from another trip to Vegas and visited a place I've wanted to see for a long time - the Neon Boneyard.  


Las Vegas has a long history of using neon lights to attract gamblers, but it also has a history of imploding old hotels to make room for newer ones.  The Neon Museum has started to save and restore some of the old neon signs from these hotels and display them as part of Vegas history.


I love this stuff.  Only a few of the signs have been completely restored.  Most are in various states of disrepair.  But the desert sunset and the outdoor museum lighting makes them look very dramatic.
