Overview

Step into the glowing graveyard and dynamic second acts of Las Vegas neon. From the sculptural boneyards where midcentury casino marquees rust under the desert stars to median galleries, surviving mob haunts, and high-tech indoor art installations, this walking tour traces how disposable commercial signs became celebrated American folk art. Join skeptic designer Clara and neon specialist Eric as they unpack the physics of noble gases, the economics of sign leasing, and the fierce preservation fights that salvaged the visual identity of Sin City.
