This was a highlight on our recent trip. The tour lasts about an hour, and requires a bit of walking. The old signs are very interesting, and the tour guide gives you a great history behind each of them, too. This is not just for photography buffs. Location is a bit out of the way, in not the greatest part of town. We got our taxi driver's info, and just called him when we were done. He took us on a mini tour of LV on our way back to the Bellagio, too! This tour is really worth it.

I didn't get to take the boneyard tour, but there are several restored signs along Freemont Street. There are plaques near some of them, but you can print out a list and more information from the neon museum website. There are also several that according to the plaques are new - 2007. It gives a nice feel for the older Las Vegas, before the Strip hotels went to the panels that show images the way a TV does.

I went on the Boneyard Tour at the end of October with some people I met from the forum. The guide was very well informed and quickly answered any questions we had. The staff of the museum was courteous enough to wait for us when our cab driver let us off at the wrong place. I think its an amazing way to preserve the city's history! Just remember to bring water, hat and sunscreen, even at the end of October it was dreadfully hot!

This review is actually for the Neon boneyard tour which is different to the Neon musueum (which isnt a museum, but a collection of restored neon signs dotted around the Fremont Street experience). They are both done by the same people, but the boneyard tour is where all of the old signs are kept prior to possible future restoration. The tour was about an hour and a half and was taken by the most fabulous chap. I cant remember his name but was a volunteer. He had quite long dark hair and was an editor of a student magazine at UNLV. He was so knowledgable and fun, he really made the tour. He explained about each of the signs and gave us a wealth of information abbout the history of Las Vegas at the same time. This tour is well worth the trip. The boneyard is located about 15 minutes walk North of the Fremont Street experience, and the offices where you check in for the tour are currently located in the Reed Whipple Cultural Center just opposite the boneyard. Another very interesting thing is they have the whole reception area/frontage from the recently condemed La Concha motel which used to be located on the Las Vegas Strip near to the Riviera, and have saved it from demolition and transported it in parts to the boneyard. They have finished re-assembling it and are going to be restoring it and using it as the new offices for the boneyard tour which will be completed in late 2009. Brilliant! We pre-booked the tour on the neon museum website, a couple of weeks before we went. It costs $15.00 per person and is well worth it. If you interested in the history of Vegas and the neon crazy world it used to be, then this is the tour for you!
