Next time I'm in Vegas, no excuses, I need to go to the Neon Boneyard.I recently noticed this article on Roadside Online's blog. They picked up an AP story and since I haven't yet mastered how to import from another blog ... I'm doing the old fashioned, "cut & paste" with this piece from the San Fran Gate.

The stack of giant neon letters just beyond the gates of the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas are unlit. Flecks of turquoise, ruby and jade paint chips dot the gravel field. There are rusted metal beams, twisted tubes, cracked lightbulbs and 40-feet-tall skeletons plucked from the rubble of imploded casinos.

We were at the Boneyard a couple of years ago and is fantastic. Not to be missed!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! Is a recap on your blog? I'll be sure to check in with you, if I have a chance to go this summer.
