With Memorial Day approaching, an iconic museum in Las Vegas has found a way to thank members of the military for their service.
Neon Museum
A downtown Las Vegas hotel-casino donated a 50-year-old sign to the museum as part of a $20 million renovation project.
The arched sign over the entrance to the Mirage was moved for some conservation work before it gets put on display, officials said.
The 24-foot-long pink sign, made using the movie star’s autograph, will be restored and then put on display at the Neon Museum.
A new installation at the Neon Museum unveiled this week highlights the Flamingo and its connection to Las Vegas history.
The A’s are in talks to include some of the Neon Museum’s vintage Las Vegas resort signs in-and-around their Strip stadium, scheduled to be built on 9 acres of the 35-acre Trop site.
Here’s a look at some museums that tell the story of Las Vegas’ history, from organized crime to nuclear testing.
