    The Boneyard at the Neon Museum is where Las Vegas neon signs go to when their life in Sin City is over. It’s heaven for neon signs. And heaven for everyone looking for that oldskool Vegas feel. You can walk around and in between neon signs from long ago, some are in working order while others are lying around as is.

    The Neon Museum is one of the many amazing things to do and see in Las Vegas, but it definitely is a must-see if you’re a fan of that classic Vegas feel. It’s amazing to see all these classic neon signs, but for a limited time there is more….

    Tim Burton at the Neon Museum

    Between 15 October 2019 and 15 February 2020 there’s another reason to visit the Neon Museum in Las Vegas: the Tim Burton exhibition Lost Vegas. Various props or models from classic Tim Burton films are displayed between the neon signs. It’s like a scavenger hunt to find ‘em all. Tres cool.

    When you buy a ticket, you’ll get access to the Neon Museum Boneyard (classic neon signs) and all the Tim Burton stuff. You’ll have to select your hour of arrival, but no worries you can stay longer than an hour.
