For a place that changes so much, it's hard to believe that Las Vegas is a place that has a history - or even wants to admit it. But perhaps its history lies in its constant reinvention. Casinos on The Strip seem to meet their ultimate demise in the form of a wrecking ball too often as newer, bigger and more modern casinos make the old ones less viable, but what remains are the signs, relics of a past life, after the concrete has been imploded and bulldozed.\n\nHere is where Las Vegas stores its history. Sure, the town started as a railroad stop, but the casinos and neon lights are what built its reputation and made it a destination for party-goers worldwide.\n\nThe admission is a $15 \"donation\", but you'll find it's all worth it once you peruse the rusting signs of yesteryear. Your tour guide (ours was Mitch), will passionately explain to you where all the pieces came from, what happened to buildings they once advertised, and then tell you how this relates to the story of Las Vegas. There's a lot of drama involved!\n\nMany people come to Vegas to lose their memories and inhibitions. The Neon Museum is a reminder that they're still there, that Las Vegas has pride in its history. Be a part of the few that don't come to Vegas just to join a giant party. \n\nI grew up going to Vegas often, and swore I'd never come back, after a fateful 21st birthday trip. But my cousin got a free room at the Venetian, and I was itching to leave LA for a short getaway. This place was easily the highlight of the trip, as well as every previous trip to Vegas combined in my life up to now. Go! NOW! Truly not something one should miss.
