Does anyone know about how long the tour of the Boneyard takes? Do they allow any extra time for taking photos?
Thanks!
Neon Boneyard tour length?
When I took the tour in October 2007, there was enough time during the tour to take lots of pictures. Copying from my trip report:
';The tour takes an hour to an hour and a half. It%26#39;s all outdoors, with no shade, on gravel lots with some broken glass, so dress appropriately and bring water with you. The two lots are filled to the brim with signs - so full that it%26#39;s hard to get a good view of some of them. Lastly, the signs look pretty bad: almost all of the neon is missing, rust is apparent, and some signs are in several pieces. That%26#39;s the bad news. The good news is that it%26#39;s fascinating to see a sign and say ';I saw that when it was running'; or ';I read about that casino.'; During my tour, one of the other tour takers pulled out pictures he had taken 30 years ago, of some of the signs when they were still in operation.';

I can pretty much agree with everything ';excess'; wrote about the tour. It is very loosely a tour (unless they%26#39;ve spiffed it up in the last 3 years) and more of an opportunity to check out the signs and ask the %26#39;guide%26#39; questions. She will point out a few of the more famous/interesting signs, but it is by no means a structured tour on a time table. We were able to wander around and take all kinds of pictures. I really enjoyed it, but I can see where some people might be disappointed or expect something different.
