The Neon Museum Film Policy

Thank you for your interest in using The Neon Museum as a location. As a nonprofit organization we rely on the publicity and income generated by filming to support our mission to preserve Las Vegas history through its incredible neon signage.

Please remember the signs in The Neon Museum collection are irreplaceable historic artifacts, not props, and must be treated as such. Our goal is to limit further damage and deterioration of the signs so that future generations will be able to view, appreciate and learn from them.

The following is a list of guidelines for all crews to help make your work on Museum grounds safe and productive. If you have any questions please direct them to The Neon Museum staff. We are not responsible for misinformation provided by location scouts or their representatives.

1. The approved Project Summary and signed Location Release with agreed fees are required before any set up or filming can begin. Proof of insurance minimum $1,000,000 Comprehensive General Liability with The Neon Museum as additional insured is also required for all filming.

2. Signs cannot be touched or moved without prior permission and assistance from The Neon Museum staff or its designated contract labor. Crew personnel are not authorized to touch or move artifacts on their own. Company is financially liable for any damage to signs during scouting, set up, filming and clean-up.

3. Any moving arrangements will be made and supervised by The Neon Museum and must take place before a shoot begins.
