If you're looking for something to do after you've cashed in all your chips you can check out the little-known Neon Museum. Here lie the ghosts of Vegas' past, a huge graveyard of neon signs no longer in use. Some go way back to the 1940s but the Neon Museum's goal is "to collect, preserve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of our international community." You can visit the 3-acre "Boneyard" by appointment only in the afternoon during the week, if there's at least ten of you someone will give you a tour to boot.
