The Federal Highway Administration has awarded the city of Las Vegas a $235,431 grant to restore two historic neon signs for the Las Vegas Boulevard median. 

The city of Las Vegas is partnering with the Neon Museum on the preservation and placement of historic neon signs along Las Vegas Boulevard between Sahara and Washington avenues. This section of the roadway was designated a state scenic byway in 2001.

Two of the historic signs stored in the Neon Boneyard will be selected by the Neon Museum Board to be restored in the near future.

The city of Las Vegas Planning and Development Department oversees the Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway on behalf of the city. The plan calls for at least one historic neon sign be placed in the Las Vegas Boulevard median between Sahara and Washington.

In addition to the placement of historic neon signs in the byway’s median, the plan also calls for businesses along Las Vegas Boulevard to install and maintain neon signage to sustain the byway’s nighttime scenic character.
