If neon could talk, it likely would be able to regale every visitor with colorful stories about Rat Pack-era Las Vegas.
Actually, the more than 200 neon signs sit in a lot called the "Boneyard" do tell the history of Las Vegas at this one-of-a-kind museum downtown.
Visitors can explore this collection only through an hour-long guided tour.
Among the highlights: Old signs from the fronts of Caesars Palace, as well as the old Stardust. All guests enter the facility through the circa-1961 mid-century modern visitor center, which actually is the former lobby for the La Concha motel. Tours are best at night, when 11 signs light up.
In February, the museum opened an augmented reality experience that incorporates high-tech projectors and Rat Pack-era music to reanimate many other iconic signs.
