Oh but it DOES. An elopement at The Neon Museum in Las Vegas is the perfect spot for all my alternative besties getting married. That’s right – you can say “I do” there! The process is pretty simple – here’s all you need to know about how to elope at The Neon Museum.
But first, some background. The museum collects, preserves, studies, and exhibits a ton of iconic Las Vegas neon signs. They have signs from the 1930s all the way up to present day. The campus has the outdoor exhibition space called the Neon Boneyard and also the Neon Boneyard North Gallery, which is home to even more signs and serves as the event space. It is seriously such a magical place, and I would DIE to photograph an elopement there.

Badass couples who elope at The Neon Museum can book a 60-minute ceremony and photography experience. It can be just you and bae, but the space can also accommodate up to 50 people if bringing friends and family is important to you. Ceremonies take place in the private North Gallery, where you’ll be surrounded by the coolest vintage neon signs in what they call a “boneyard” environment.
Time slots are available every day of the week up until sunset. BUT don’t plan on a summer elopement here! Because of how frickin’ hot it gets in Vegas, there are no weddings allowed from June – August.
The grand total for their standard experience is $2,500. It includes the private space for an hour for up to 50 guests, along with benches that can seat up to 32 people, if you request them. You and bae will need to hire your own licensed officiant and photographer, as well as any other vendors you want, like a florist or videographer.
The Neon Museum does offer a couple add-ons for their weddings. For an extra fee, you can add an additional 10 guests, some extra set up time, or fun marquee letters! If you want to explore the museum before or after your elopement, just know that admission is NOT included in your booking fee.
If you’re as obsessed as I am with this place, but you aren’t getting married quite yet, I have good news. We can still do a photo session there! There are a couple options to choose from if you want to take professional photos at The Neon Museum.
The Neon Museum is located at 770 Las Vegas Blvd North. It’s a little bit Northwest of the downtown area and a quick 15-minute drive from Harry Reid International Airport. If you’re taking a taxi or Uber, they have a specific pick-up/drop-off zone next to the museum on McWilliams Ave. If you’re driving, they have free parking! Check out a map here.

After you elope at The Neon Museum, make a vacation out of your trip to Vegas! There are so many ways to spend a weekend.
