The Neon Boneyard opened in 2012 to preserve Vegas’s glowing history by rescuing iconic, decommissioned neon signs from demolition. It’s part of The Neon Museum, which was started was started in 1996 alongside the Young Electric Sign Company, or YESCO for short. YESCO is responsible for almost all the former signs in Las Vegas, which can be seen in the Boneyard.
This neon sign belonged to the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, which was founded by Benjamin “Bugsy” Siegel (1906-1947). Raul Rodriguez created the sign, aiming to design a warm, recognizable symbol for the resort that would be introduced in the late 1970s.
