The Neon Museum Oral History Project

Many stories about our signs are known only to the people who were there. Eyewitness accounts offer unique context and insight unavailable from any other source. It is critical to record these recollections before they are lost. The Neon Museum Oral History Project preserves and makes available to the public personal narratives that increase our understanding of the Museum’s collection and the history of Las Vegas.

The Neon Museum oral history project is funded in part by Nevada Humanites and the National Endowment for the Humanities. 

Other oral histories that are available on request include: Fred Doumani  Sr, owner of La Concha and El Morocco, Denise Scott Brown, architect, Betty Willis, sign designer, Rudy Crisostomo, sign designer
