Neon Museum's Boneyard preserves signs from Las Vegas' odd past

The Neon Museum collects and displays retired signs from Las Vegas casinos and businesses in its outdoor 'Boneyard,' preserving artifacts of the city's visual and cultural history. Among the signs in the collection is one from the Moulin Rouge, the 1955 hotel-casino that was the focus of a 1960 agreement important to ending racial segregation in Las Vegas gaming and hiring practices. The museum documents the provenance and stories of individual signs, many of which are associated with unusual or historically significant episodes in the city's development.
