The Neon Museum Las Vegas is where the city’s iconic signage goes to live forever—especially inside the outdoor Neon Boneyard, a collection of restored and unrestored Las Vegas neon signs you explore at your own pace (or with an add-on guided tour). If you want a “real Vegas history” experience that’s not a casino, this is it.

  • Box Office closes 1 hour prior to posted closing time.
  • Last admissions vary by season (museum lists):

    • Mar–Apr: last admission 10 pm
    • May–Aug: last admission 11 pm
    • Sep–Oct: last admission 10 pm

✅ Practical tip: Don’t book the final slot if you want photos + time to read/soak it in—aim for earlier.

✨ Brilliant! Jackpot (immersive night light show)

If you want the “Vegas neon comes alive” feeling, add Brilliant! Jackpot.

  • It’s a 25-minute nighttime show in the North Gallery that uses light projection to illuminate unrestored signs and incorporates music.
  • The museum promotes Brilliant! Jackpot as an immersive Vegas lightshow experience.

✅ When to choose it:

  • You’re visiting at night and want a more “wow/immersive” experience than a standard walk-through.

⚠️ Common mistake:

  • Assuming Brilliant! is automatically included in every admission type—check your ticket/experience selection carefully when booking.

🧭 Guided tours (optional add-ons)

If you want stories and context (not just photos), add a guided tour:

  • Daytime add-on: Illuminating Las Vegas Tour — 45 minutes
  • Evening add-on: History. Brought to Light. — 45 minutes

✅ Best for:

  • First-time visitors who want the “why this sign matters” history without guessing.

📸 What you’ll actually do inside (best plan)

A simple “no-regrets” plan:

  1. ✅ Arrive 10–15 minutes early (parking + check-in).
  2. 📍 Start with the Neon Boneyard walk-through (day or night).
  3. ✨ Add Brilliant! Jackpot if you booked it (25 minutes).
  4. 🎁 Quick stop at the gift shop before the box office closes (remember: 1 hour before closing).

🚗 How to get there from The Strip

Option A: Taxi / Uber / Lyft (fast + simple) 🚖

Best if you want door-to-door, especially at night.

Option B: Bus + short walk (budget) 🚌

A reliable “Strip → Downtown → Neon Museum” idea:

  1. Ride Deuce on the Strip northbound toward Downtown/Fremont (it operates 24/7).
  2. Transfer at/near Bonneville Transit Center (BTC) (Downtown hub).
  3. Take RTC Route 113 (Las Vegas Blvd North) and get off near the Cashman Center area (overflow parking reference point), then walk to the museum address.

✅ Why Route 113 helps: it runs on Las Vegas Blvd North from BTC through the Cashman Center area.

✈️ Airport Connections: LAS → The Neon Museum

Option A: Rideshare / taxi (easiest) 🚖

If you have luggage or you’re going for an evening slot, this is usually the smoothest.

Option B: Bus to Downtown, then Route 113 🚌

  1. From LAS, take an RTC bus toward Downtown / BTC (Bonneville Transit Center).
  2. Transfer to Route 113 (Las Vegas Blvd North) and ride toward the museum area.

✅ Pro move: If you’re already planning Fremont Street Experience, you can do Neon Museum first, then Downtown nightlife after.

✅ Tips & common mistakes

✅ Do:

  • Book ahead—online reservations are strongly encouraged.
  • Go at night if you want the full neon vibe (and consider Brilliant!).
  • Remember: box office closes 1 hour before closing, and “last admission” depends on season.

⚠️ Avoid:

  • Showing up without a timed reservation on a busy weekend night (availability can disappear).
  • Booking the last slot and expecting a relaxed visit (you’ll feel rushed).
