๐ง Fun fact
The Neon Museum, located in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, features an outdoor exhibit of vintage signs from old casinos and businesses, spread across 2.62 acres (1.06 ha). The museum's visitor center is housed in the beautifully restored lobby shell of the now-defunct La Concha Motel, which officially opened on October 27, 2012.
For years, many of these aging signs were stored by the Young Electric Sign Company (YESCO) in their "boneyard," where they slowly deteriorated due to exposure to the elements.
These signs are celebrated not only for their artistic value but also for their historical significance, appreciated by Las Vegas residents, business owners, and government entities alike. Each carefully restored sign in the collection tells a unique story, illuminating its creator and the reasons behind its importance, thereby enriching the city's cultural heritage.
