The bright lights of Las Vegas are something that really make this city stand out. Whenever a movie is set in Las Vegas, you can pretty much guarantee several shots of the neon signs of casinos and hotels. The neon lights of Las Vegas have long been a major attraction and while by day the city looks pretty, by night, it truly comes alive!
Since many famous casinos and hotels are being torn down these days to make way for more modern marvels, you might wonder what has happened to the older signs. Don´t worry, these didn´t go the way of the buildings . . . they´ve been salvaged. Some were sold off to the highest bidder, but the majority of Las Vegas´ retired neon signs are actually in a “graveyard” where tourists can walk through a forest full of these hallmark symbols of an era gone by.
These neon signs are no longer lit, but that doesn´t mean they aren´t impressive. You´ll enjoy checking out some of the most famous neon signs in Las Vegas, like the ones from the Sahara and the Aladdin.
The best way to enjoy Las Vegas lights is to see the current signs in action. While walking down the Strip might be a fun way to check out those signs while getting some exercise, there´s nothing like flying overhead and looking down on the maze of lights that makes up the city.
