A vital part of the Neon Museum collection is always on display for free.
On Feb. 4, you can learn about those vintage signs, also without charge.
The virtual presentation “Beyond the Boneyard: Restored Roadside Relics,” scheduled for 6-7 p.m., will offer insight into the nine restored neon signs placed throughout downtown Las Vegas.

The signs included in the program come from the following:
— Binion’s Horseshoe, opened in 1951.
— The Silver Slipper, opened in 1950.
— The Bow & Arrow Motel, built during the 1950s along Wyoming Avenue.
