We visited the Neon Museum or Boneyard  in Las Vegas earlier this month.
I was fascinated that the sign that was created for the new Museum (it only opened in October 2012) was designed to replicate the fonts from some of the old iconic landmarks to spell NEON. 
N     from the Golden Nugget
E     from Caesar's still used today in all their signs
O     from the Horseshoe
N     from Desert Inn



Here is a link to a blog that is dedicated to fonts that did a post on las Vegas signs.

We saw this show on Monday and it was a musical history of Vegas which starts with a set that resembles the Boneyard.
