2022 Programs & Outcomes

The Neon Museum, known as one of Las Vegas’ most iconic and visually stunning museums telling the story of the city through historic neon signs, launched its inaugural Duck Duck Shed: Celebrating Las Vegas Architecture, Design, and Culture event to an international audience.

The four-day event offered 31 individual offerings that celebrate Las Vegas’ distinctive architecture from past to the present through walking tours, aerial tours, panel discussions with industry experts, and once-in-a-lifetime tours of Jungle Palace, the historic estate of Siegfried & Roy, a private home that has never been granted public access. A new tour that highlights the architectural history of the buildings associated with the iconic signs in the Neon Boneyard was also debuted.

Seventeen of the 30 programs (57%) offered reached capacity, which exceeded the expectations for the first year, as did the draw from audiences worldwide. Over 50 percent of our ticketholders were from outside Southern Nevada. We welcomed over 3,400 attendees including those from The Netherlands, England, Canada, and Australia, as well as 27 states in the US. This remarkable response answers the question if there is an appetite for learning more about Las Vegas’ incomparable, ever-evolving skyline as well as its efforts towards historic preservation.
