Destination Las Vegas
The Best of Las Vegas: The Las Vegas Neon Boneyard Park. A tribute to the neon signs of yesteryear, the electrified icons from the time Bugsy Siegel and the mob ruled Las Vegas...long before the big corporations moved in. Fans of vintage Americana will find great joy in this fabulous collection of vintage neon signs from yesteryear; included are neon signs from the Golden Nugget, The Algiers, Stardust, The Hacienda, Aladdin Hotel, The Flame, etc. Most of these derelict vintage neon signs are currently located at a dusty lot on Las Vegas Boulevard North, far away from the cheap glitter and glam that Las Vegas has to offer nowadays. They are joined by the remnants of the old, partially-demolished, La Concha hotel (designed by Paul Revere Williams). The Neon Boneyard Park definitely deserves more attention from the city of Las Vegas; it really seems to have been an afterthought, tours are currently limited and only portion of the Boneyard collection is available for tours and photo shoots by advanced appointment. What a missed opportunity... Bugsy sure would have wanted a little bit more respect.
