Neon Sign Museum  |  Las Vegas Nevada Originally wanted to take a late afternoon tour so that I could use the sunset as a lighting effect, but the only available tour schedule I could fit into was the evening tour the day I was there.  I was unsure about how well the signs would look at night considering only a few of the old neon signs are actually operational, but the lighting setup at the tour was great.
