Neon Museum, Las Vegas, Nevada

Sin City may be the best-known nickname for Las Vegas, but it’s sometimes called the City of Lights. And a visit to the city’s Neon Museum may make clear how the ‘lights’ name arose. The gallery of glitz-gone-by offers visitors a literal walk through the city’s history: The old casino, hotel, and club signs that once cast a multicolored glow on the Vegas strip are preserved as significant cultural relics of the city’s history.
