Fun, informative tour and totally worth the 15 bucks! Our tour guide, Mitch, had some amazing stories and gave us a great history lesson on the old Las Vegas. Very cool to see the old signs remembered from years past. If you love all things Vegas, this is a definite must see!!

Came across this surfing the Web. A non-profit group is collecting old signs from Vegas. A few have been restored and are on display on Fremont Street. The collection includes hundreds and hundreds of old signs, dominated by all the pieces of the HUGE Stardust sign that used to sit across from Wynn. Unfortunately, many of the old Vegas signs were lost when properties were demolished or imploded before this group got together. They plan to display more of the signs, including the Stardust, in a park-like setting. They have relocated the lobby from the old La Concha motel that used to be on the Strip just south of the Riviera. "Googie" architecture. That was quite a feat of engineering since they had to slice it into eight pieces, move it, then reassemble it on the site of their proposed museum grounds. It will be the visitor center. They keep the location of the current exhibit, called the Boneyard, "secret". But if you look on Google Earth (or Google Maps Aerial) NORTH of Fremont Street along LV Boulevard, you can spot the eight pieces of the La Concha lobby AND make out the face of the huge, old Pirate that stood in front of Treasure Island before they rebranded as T.I. You MUST pre-register to get on one of the limited number of guided tours. Go the their website. Cost is $15. As an architect, I found this collection of memorabilia really fascinating!

My mom and I were able to get advanced reservations for the tour. I am so glad we went. It was very neat to see all of old Las Vegas here in the boneyard. They plan on getting spots and refurbishing the signs for use one day!

Volunteer tour guide very knowledgable!

We visited the Boneyard, which is related to the Neon Museum. You have to contact them ahead, in order to reserve a tour date/time. The tour is 1.5 hours long, cost is $15 and totally worth it.

There were about 20 people in our group. The signs are in two parking lots, behind a secured fence. The girl from the museum who led the tour was so passionate about the signs, that she made them all very interesting. I can't believe how much you can learn about history from one sign.

There were some very old signs (i.e. the genie lamp from the old Aladdin), and newer signs (signs that were on the Stardust until it came down). The photo opportunities are great!

Eventually some of these signs will be restored and displayed along North Las Vegas Blvd. So be sure and visit the Boneyard now, while you can get close to the signs, before they are restored. It will be great to see them in their full splendour again!
