“The King of Rock and Roll” was born this day in 1935 in Tupelo, Mississippi. In 1956, at the age of 21, #Elvis had his first #LasVegas performance at the New Frontier. He would eventually come back to #Vegas in 1963 to film the movie “#VivaLasVegas” with Ann-Margret.
He married Priscilla Beaulieu at the Aladdin in 1967 a year after the property opened and eventually performed 636 consecutively sold-out shows at the Las Vegas International which later became the Hilton and is now the Westgate. The #NeonMuseum is honored to care for multiple artifacts that help it share his important role in Las Vegas pop culture history.

#DYK? In the 1950s, motel sign designers often found inspiration within their surroundings. Yucca just happens to be a native plant of the Mojave Desert! 🏜️

Thanks, Lasvegassun.com, for visiting our 2020 AIR, Victor Ehikhamenor.
The Neon Museum hosted an Open Studio event with 2020 Artist in Residence Victor Ehikhamenor, on Thursday, Dec. 17. The Nigerian-American artist, photographer and writer has been in Las Vegas since Oct. 26 creating a body of work inspired by the museum.
💡 How does "Brilliant!" work? The largest augmented reality experience of its kind was designed using 24, 3D-sound speakers and eight projectors emitting a total of 80,000 lumens of light to illuminate and re-electrify unrestored, non-working signs in the North Gallery.
Check out this beautiful piece of art created by Victor Ehikhamenor (@victorsozaboy), The Neon Museum's 2020 National Artist in Residence. This piece entitled, “Like Water God Riding His Dragon,” was unveiled last week as he concluded his residency with a virtual presentation. You can view it and his other works here:

This program is supported, in part, by the @nvartscouncil, a state agency, which receives support from the National Endowment of the Arts (@neaarts,) a federal agency, and the State of Nevada. The Neon Museum would also like to acknowledge the generous support of @juhllv.

In the 1930s, marriage and divorce laws were more lenient in Nevada than those of neighboring states and businesses catering to the City’s growing market for wedding services flourished. The term “quickie wedding” became a part of the local vernacular. The Wee Kirk O’ the Heather wedding chapel adobe structure, built-in 1924, was originally used as a house that was later converted into a chapel in 1940. This chapel began to establish itself as a quick spot to get married after couples obtained a marriage license from the nearby Marriage License Bureau.
In October of 2020, the building was demolished. At the time of its closure, it was the longest-running wedding chapel in Las Vegas. The property’s 700-pound roadside pylon is now part of The Neon Museum collection and has been placed in storage for the time being. The sign contains neon flowers that pay homage to the Scottish translation of the chapel’s name, meaning “the little chapel of the lucky flowers.” This chapel has been a part of the Las Vegas community for 80 years, and for the past 96 years, community members and tourists alike have passed this adobe structure that became known as the Wee Kirk on their way toward Fremont Street on Las Vegas Blvd.

On this day in 1952, the Sands Hotel and Casino opened its doors. The building was designed by Los Angeles architect Wayne McAlister, who also helped design the El Rancho Hotel, The Fremont Hotel and Binion’s Horseshoe. The property became well known for the Copa Room showroom which hosted shows by many performers, including the Rat Pack. Most of the signage was lost over the years due to renovations and the ultimate demolition of the property in 1996. However, the Museum was able to help preserve one sign from the Sands, do you know which sign it is? What could it say? Hint: Check out this concept rendering of the Sands by Jack Dubois particularly above the entrances. To see the sign and to learn more about it please visit us at the Neon Museum!

Artist and designer Harold Bradford was Art Director at YESCO in 1990 when the company debuted the glittering Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino sign which still stands on West Flamingo Road. According to Charles Barnard (sign designer and author of The Magic Sign), the Rio sign was designed by Rudy Crisostomo and was based on a concept by the company Marnell Corrao Associates. In a 2019 oral history for The Neon Museum, Bradford shares some memories of the pre-production and design process behind this colorful classic.

Las Vegas artist James Stanford has completed a new mural at The Neon Museum’s Reed Whipple building. The monumental mural, entitled “From the Land Beyond,” taken from the film “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad” (1958), was commissioned by the Cultural Corridor Coalition as part of the beautification of Downtown Las Vegas through public art projects. The vibrant installation spans 154 x 19 square feet and covers the south wall of The Neon Museum’s newly acquired building, located across the street from the museum. His work provides a contemporary complement to The Neon Museum’s mission of preserving Las Vegas’ iconic signs. Stanford’s design pays homage to early Las Vegas hotels, starting with the Stardust Resort & Casino, which was imploded in 2007. Many of its historic signs are on display in The Neon Museum Boneyard. The artwork includes two large Moai carved from lava rock, which pay tribute to the Stardust’s Aku Aku Polynesian restaurant and Tiki Bar. He also depicts the Dunes’ Sultan from the famed hotel and casino, which closed in 1993 making way for the Bellagio, which opened in 1998. Stanford’s new commission, along with “A Phalanx of Angels Ascending,” are monumental testaments to the Cultural Corridor known for its museums and cultural landmarks, including The Neon Museum, Las Vegas Natural History Museum and the Old Mormon Fort. The mural is sponsored by Dunn-Edwards Paints, Las Vegas Natural History Museum, The Neon Museum, Frankie's Tiki Room, The Bunkers Group and private donors. Laura Henkel of ArtCulture PR curated the project.

Founded in 1996, The Neon Museum is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 organization dedicated to collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting iconic Las Vegas signs for educational, historic, arts and cultural enrichment. The Neon Museum campus includes the outdoor exhibition space known as the Neon Boneyard, a visitors’ center housed inside the former La Concha Motel lobby and the Neon Boneyard North Gallery which houses additional rescued signs and is available for weddings, special events, photo shoots and educational programs.
Dedicated individuals from the private sector, as well as corporate and government entities, worked collaboratively to promote the preservation of these national treasures as significant pieces of artistic and historical importance. Each sign in The Neon Museum’s collection offers a unique story about the personalities who created it, what inspired it, where and when it was made and the role it played in Las Vegas’ distinctive history.
In addition, The Neon Museum collection chronicles changes and trends in sign design and technology through pieces ranging from the 1930s to the present day.
Public education, outreach, research, archival preservation and a grant-funded neon sign survey represent a selection of the museum’s ongoing projects.
