Saturday 10/23, Neon Boneyard and Meet

After 4 hours worth of restless sleep I dragged myself out of bed to get ready for our trip to Neon Boneyard. My husband was able to sleep in because this trip was to celebrate his birthday that had happened on the 16th and one of his presents was a massage today around noon at Palazzo's Canyon Ranch Spa.

Claired67 from the Blonde4ever Vegas message board was treating Socalgirl,Hayleymsmom,myself and Blonde4ever and her son Mike to a limo ride to Neon Boneyard. The limo company was Presidential and the driver presented each lady with a long stem rose. There was champagne chilled for us but this early in the morning we opted for water.

It was an enjoyable ride to the office where you pay the $15.00 for the tour and sign a release if you want to take photos during the tour. Video is not allowed at all and the release I signed that permits me to post photos of the tour here said they had to be a certain size,  and they indicated that the small size selection here on blogspot would fit the criteria so I hope I'm in compliance.

There was a large group for the 9:30am tour so they split us into two groups and we were in the first group. Our guide was terrific, very funny and extremely informative about the history of all the Neon Signs.

The area where we viewed the signs is not the permanent exhibit area that is still under constructed and a year away at least from completion. In their current location there are a few safety rules you have to follow with the type of shoes you can wear on the tour being foremost.

The sign above was just installed recently and is soon to be lit up.
