Last year I took a tour of the Neon Museum. It was GREAT to see all of those old, vintage, neon signs from Las Vegas' history.

I thought it might be a nice addition for this year's event for those people that may be arriving a bit earlier.

The current plan is to have this tour on Wednesday. Cost is just $15 per person.

Let me know if you are interested.

Damn, that would be a SWEET place for a photo shoot with our cars. Any magic you can do:)?

I will pay$ to do it as long as it's not outta this world, as I'm sure a LOT more would too.

Ditto. Count me in. I will probably be coming in on the night of the 30th so will have a free day.

There are some issues with getting cars in there. There is a LOT of broken glass and metal pieces mixed in with the gravel.

Also... nighttime shots would not work as there is no power to the current museum. This is a working boneyard where they will be fixing vintage neon signs to place them back on display - some of them outside of the museum. You can already see a few of these down on Freemont Street.

I will see what they say but the price will go up.

OK... preliminary results are in for doing a photo shoot with the Supras at the museum.

WOW! That would be some serious $$$$$$$$. I don't think we'd get enough interest to make it worthwhile.

So for this year we'll just do the regular tour.

Sorry guys.

damn- it would be awesome if they were all lit up, but even then I don't think anybody here would sign up to drive on broken glass! Either way it should be a cool thing to check out.

As a sidebar I'm all for this kind of thinking with non car related activities. I actually remember last year JT was talking about doing a beer pong tournament which I thought sounded like a killer idea...
