Just because an iconic sign is no longer on the strip doesn't mean it's gone forever, especially if it belongs in The Neon Museum's extensive collection. Its "boneyard," which is filled with gems from Caesars Palace, Golden Nugget, and the Stardust, can be explored on ticketed tours all day and night. Only a small amount of the signs are actually lit in the evening, so while afternoon tours are preferred for an aficionado looking for up-close details, nighttime tours can be an ideal predinner activity. Don't skip the gift shop on your way out, either — housed in the former La Concha Motel lobby, which was broken into eight pieces and rebuilt in its new location, it offers goodies like neon-sign-shaped magnets and vintage-inspired t-shirts.
