Description:
Established in 1996 to preserve Las Vegas’s underappreciated neon
heritage, the Neon Boneyard houses many of the city's historic casino
signs on a three-acre site at the edge of the city. The core of the
collection of unrestored signage came from the pioneering Young
Electric Sign Company, one of the first to produce neon signs in the
area; but, in recent years, it has grown through donations from
businesses and individuals who appreciate the key role played by neon
in the growth of Las Vegas.
Neon Boneyard: Las Vegas A–Z returns us to an earlier image of
Vegas, suffused with the warm, commercial glow of neon, lighting the
desert and inventing modern nightlife. .
