Welcome to the Neon Survey |
In the summer of 2002, the Neon Museum commissioned a survey of the neon signs of the Las Vegas Strip corridor from Sunset to Sahara. This survey was designed to capture the artistic and historical significance of one of Las Vegas's most well-known art forms, neon. The exhibit you are viewing is designed to publicize the results of this survey. Within it, you can read a detailed explanation of the survey, look at the glossary of neon sign terms, or view the actual data sheets for the 80 signs that line the Las Vegas Strip and were documented in this survey. Since 2002, many of the signs captured here have been dimmed. This only highlights the critical importance of preserving Nevada's neon heritage. |
