Last night we visited The Neon Museum in Las Vegas. It is north of the strip, passed downtown. This is perhaps one of the coolest things to do in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sam heard about it via one of The Property Brothers. I surprised him with tickets for his birthday trip.
Las Vegas is an ever changing city. The neon signs of the past and present are a good way to show this change. The hour tour is $25 and depending on the time of year may sell out quickly. I suggest buying tickets prior to arriving at the museum. From our hotel on the strip (Aria) it was a steep $31 (including tip) cab ride to the museum. Thankfully, a friend of mine did the 8 PM tour, so we caught a ride with him back to the strip, saving us thirty bucks.
If you are going at night you may want to wear closed toed shoes and watch where you step. In summer months, bring a bottle of water or you can purchase one for $1. It was hot when we arrived for our 7:30 PM tour and we had forgotten water, so we opted to purchase a couple of bottles.
Many of the tour guides are volunteers. Our guide, David (or Dave, I'm not sure), was fantastic. The amount of information he packed into our hour tour was amazing. I could not believe it when he mentioned this was only his second tour! What a wealth of information!
