The Stardust Casino
In the summer I got to take my first ever trip to Vegas with my dearest girlies – FUN!
It was the end of June and sweltering, so when I decided to visited The Neon Museum I figured I'd spare my friends the geekdom and go by myself early in the morning to avoid the heat. Phew!
Under an umbrella and with a cold bottle of water pressed against my cheeks, I got to tour the impressive display while listening to the guide talk of an era that I've romanticized and wish I could've seen for myself. The cost of making these neon signs, much less refurbishing them is astounding. The museum has to raise funds to lovingly restore the signs which can be visited on their night tours.
The stories behind the casinos, hotels and the mob who ran them are fascinating too. Highly recommend a visit to this place if you're ever able to tear yourself away from the bright lights of the "new" strip. Just make sure you don't go in the dead heat of mid-summer!
