Las Vegas’ Neon Museum announces plans to expand, relocate

The famed Neon Museum on Wednesday announced that it is relocating and moving to the Arts District in downtown Las Vegas.

According to a news release, as part of the relocation, the Neon Museum says it intends to nearly triple the size of its current location.

The museum says it will “conduct due diligence on two sites,” with the first location being a 60,000-square-foot outdoor display space that will also feature 47,000 square feet for an indoor area on the 9th and 10th floors of a proposed parking garage.

A second location is located a short walk away with 35,000 square feet of programmable space, the museum says.

“Neon is Las Vegas’ native art form and the Neon Museum is an iconic attraction. We are excited that the museum will soon be a part of our vibrant 18B Las Vegas Arts District,” Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman said of the museum’s plans to relocate.
