LAS VEGAS (November 2018) – Nothing compares to the Neon Museum’s annual “December to Remember” event, Las Vegas’ most unique family-friendly holiday celebration, which takes place Saturday, Dec. 15, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Each year, the museum hosts this free community gathering, which brings together people of all ages to create memories and a special, take-home keepsake to cherish for years to come.
