THE NEON MUSEUM ANNOUNCES PORTRAIT HOUR
FOR PERSONAL PHOTO SESSIONS
The Neon Museum announces Portrait Hour for guests seeking to book time in the museum’s North Gallery amidst hundreds of vintage Las Vegas signs for a personal photo shoot. Guests who book Portrait Hour tickets share the space with other guests while they have a portrait photo session taken by their own photographer. Portrait Hour dates and times are preselected and available to view here.
The North Gallery sits adjacent to the main collection in the Neon Boneyard and offers visitors an array of world-famous un-restored Las Vegas signs such as Lady Luck and the Golden Nugget. The space is ideal for guests looking for a colorful, one-of-a-kind backdrop for their photos.
“Portrait Hour was created to allow fans of the museum to take photos for special occasions or just for fun in front of their favorite Las Vegas signs,” said Dawn Merritt, vice president and chief marketing officer, The Neon Museum. “While we still offer private photography bookings at the museum, this option offers a more affordable way to shoot personal photos in the museum for those who don’t mind sharing the space with other guests.”
Photos taken during Portrait Hour are for personal use only. No commercial retail, fine art or editorial use is permitted without prior written consent from The Neon Museum. The total number of guests allowed during Portrait Hour is 15, which includes the guest’s photographer, assistants and other guests. Portrait Hour tickets are $50 per person for the one hour and reservations are required. Tickets for Nevada residents, students, active military, veterans and seniors with valid ID are just $35 per person.
