Las Vegas Neon Museum


Hey, guys! I'm back from my Vegas vacation aaaand I'm exhausted. The drive home, which normally takes about 4 hours, took 7 with all of the holiday traffic. That wasn't fun at all but the rest of the trip sure was and I wanted to share some of it with you today.  One of the coolest places I visited while in Vegas was the Neon Museum. We took a tour of the Neon Boneyard, which consists of over 150 vintage Las Vegas signs that date back as far as the 1930s. I highly recommend taking this tour if you're ever in the area. I took a ton of photos. Here are a few of my favorites...

  1. I LOVE THIS! I saw the most gorgeous bridal portraits a while back and always wondered where and how they were able to get those shots by the old neon signs... it was here at the neon museum! I can't wait to visit this place next time I'm in vegas :)

  2. This looks AMAZING! My boyfriend and I are hoping to make a trip to the USA as soon as we have enough pennies, and do a road trip. This is definitely somewhere to add to the list of places to go! :)

  3. I heard about this place a few years ago and I've wanted to visit ever since. Almost enough to fly back to that side of the planet and deal with the extraordinary heat! It looks amazing!

    1. It's definitely worth the heat. We lucked out this weekend though. It was only about 75 degrees!

  4. Those old signs are AMAZING and you got some great photos! They shouldn't let awesome signs like those go to waste! I hope to see this museum the next time I ever go to Vegas!

    1. I should have known it would be that bad! Oh well, our rental car had XM radio so I discovered a few new things to listen to. Haha.
