Also known as the Neon Boneyard, the Neon Museum of Las Vegas gives a colorful
interpretation of the city’s history. As the Strip transformed over the years, iconic neon
signs gave way to modern LCD screens. Many of the displaced neon signs now call the
museum home, and visitors can stop by and revisit 150+ of the most memorable signs
from Las Vegas’s vibrant past. Ranging from the 1930s to the present day, signs include
gems from Caesars Palace, Binion's Horseshow, the Golden Nugget, and the Stardust.
THE NEON MUSEUM
Hidden on the third floor of
the Cosmopolitan Hotel &
Casino, Secret Pizza is a tiny,
New York-style pizzeria.
There’s no sign, hence the
name, but during peak hours
the line snaking out the door is
the perfect hint. You can order
a slice to eat at their counter
while listening to tunes by
Frank Sinatra and Elvis, or
order a fresh pie to be
delivered to your room.

Located two blocks away from the Fremont Street Experience in downtown, the Mob
Museum shows a seedier side of Las Vegas’s history. With interactive exhibits, theater
presentations, photos, and countless artifacts, visitors will see the secrets of famous gangsters
including Al Capone, Whitey Bulger, and John Gotti. You’ll also learn how deeply Las Vegas
was influenced by organized criminals, such as Bugsy Siegel, who famously developed one of
the first properties on the Las Vegas Strip – the Flamingo Casino.
The Circus Circus Hotel’s
Adventuredome is America’s
largest indoor theme park,
nestled right on the Vegas
Strip. The park features
thrill rides and carnival rides
alike, plus mini golf, laser
tag, bumper cars, rock
climbing, clown shows, and
much more. Though the
Adventuredome is indoors,
the five-and-a-half acre space
is enclosed by pink glass
panes that let in plenty of
natural light, for fun in the
sun no matter the season.

Nevada is known for its “wild west” past, including several ghost towns within driving
distance of Las Vegas:
• Chloride, Arizona is an old mining town under two hours from Vegas by car.
Visitors have the chance to see an old west show in the center of town.
• Oatman, Arizona was once known as a thriving gold rush town. Visitors are invited
to come by in the summer for showdowns and gun fights on Main Street.
Miles of scenic desert landscape surround Las Vegas, and the Springs Preserve gives
an up-close look at native flora and fauna. Part botanical garden, museum, and
outdoor concert venue, the preserve is a lush oasis for visitors to enjoy. Stroll or hike
all 180 acres to identify local plants, access educational experiences, and more.
