Neon Museum with elements of Las Vegas' past referred to as the "Boneyard"
The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, features signs from old casinos and other businesses displayed outdoors on over 6 acres.
For many years, the Young Electric Sign Company stored many of these old signs in their “boneyard.” The signs were slowly being destroyed by exposure to the elements. The museum is slowly restoring the signs and placing them around the Fremont Street Experience.
