The Neon Museum Film Policy
Thank you for your interest in using The Neon Museum as a location. As a nonprofit organization we rely on the publicity and income generated by filming to support our mission to preserve Las Vegas history through its incredible neon signage.
Please remember the signs in The Neon Museum collection are irreplaceable historic artifacts, not props, and must be treated as such. Our goal is to limit further damage and deterioration of the signs so that future generations will be able to view, appreciate and learn from them.
The following is a list of guidelines for all crews to help make your work on Museum grounds safe and productive. If you have any questions please direct them to The Neon Museum staff. We are not responsible for misinformation provided by location scouts or their representatives. Refusal to abide by the rules and regulations contained herein will result in the termination of your shoot by the Neon Museum without refund of deposits or fees.
1. For every shoot proposed to take place within the Boneyard, we require the submission of a Project Request Form. The Neon Museum reserves the right to approve or deny any project based on content of the overall project or the specific scenes proposed for shooting within the Boneyard if we feel the content could damage the goodwill of the Museum. Once you receive approval, any and all scene additions and changes must be approved prior to set-up of the shot by Neon Museum staff.
