Las Vegas Neon Museum
The Neon Museum is dedicated to the restoration, maintenance, and continued cultivation of the neon history of Las Vegas. Through housing and restoring a wealth of Vegas neon signs, the museum has spent more than fifteen years preserving a huge part of the city’s history from being lost, and today, a great deal of those gigantic neon signs are installed in various parts of the city, delighting thousands of people every day. This so-called boneyard accommodates a number of Vegas neon signs still waiting for restoration, and visitors, especially photographers, can enjoy the great opportunity of capturing a piece of the history of Las Vegas on film.

LOST CITY MUSEUM
The Lost City Museum was built by the National Park Service to exhibit artifacts that were being excavated from Pueblo Grande de Nevada. These Anasazi Indian sites were being threatened by the waters of Lake Mead as it backed up behind the newly built Hoover Dam. Eventually, when the lake was filled to capacity, about five miles of sites had been inundated or undercut by the water.
The Civilian Conservation Corps assisted in the excavation of the sites and the construction of the museum building. The building was constructed of sun-dried adobe brick in a pueblo- revival style. The museum also served as the park headquarters for the Boulder Dam State Park that was established at Lake Mead.
The museum is currently owned and maintained by the State of Nevada as one of its six state museums. Program include ongoing archaeological research on the remaining Lost City sites, school tours and outreach programs, changing exhibits and archival library and collections research capabilities. Special public programs are held throughout the year.
Hours: 8:30 to 4:30 daily (closed Thanksgiving Day, Dec. 25 and Jan. 1).
