“The Neon Museum strongly believes that money should not be a barrier to education. All families, regardless of their unique needs, should have access to the amazing stories of Las Vegas history and culture,” said Aaron Berger, executive director of The Neon Museum. “With Spring Break coming up and Summer Break soon after that, we hope to welcome more families to the museum so they can see up close and learn more about the magnificent neon treasures that trace our city’s history.”
