Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Neon Museum’s brand new website!
We have lots of great news to share, but our most exciting news is the looming construction of the La Concha Visitor Center. Five years after relocating the historic La Concha Motel lobby to the site of our future museum, we are on the brink of rehabilitating the building to its former glory. The new state of the art Visitor Center will include a reception area, event facilities, administrative offices, and interactive exhibition capabilities.
The groundbreaking is scheduled for September/October 2011 and we anticipate completing construction in mid-2012. Stay tuned for photos, updates, and other news about our Visitor Center!
Restoration Scheduled for 3 Signs
Three signs are set for restoration and relocation as part of the Las Vegas Boulevard Neon Signs Project. The Lucky Cuss Motel, Society Cleaners, and The Normandy Motel will be installed on Las Vegas Boulevard in beautiful downtown Las Vegas. The signs will join Binion’s Horseshoe, the Bow & Arrow Motel, and the Silver Slipper, each restored in 2009.
