The Boneyard Las Vegas

I have known about The Neon Museum for a while but have never manged to visit it yet.
It is a graveyard for all of the old Las Vegas signs, I would surely be in heaven if I went there and dont think I could even take enough memory on my camera for all of the pictures I would love to snap.
Found Type has a really nice selection of pictures too.
I have started a new links section at the bottom of places I want to visit, this is surely one of them.
These collages from Las Veags Native
