Neon Museum

In a city that was basically built out of neon, it’s fitting someone had the bright idea to pay tribute to the shiny signage of decades past. The Neon Museum, which has long been collecting iconic Sin City signs under the moniker Neon Boneyard, has raised $2.8 million since 1996 to upgrade its digs. Now housed in a converted 1960s-era shell-shaped motel, the two-acre indoor/outdoor museum lets you tour 150 bright lights that once fronted wedding chapels, prohibition speakeasies and off-Strip roadhouses.

iBlowdry Salon

Las Vegas is undergoing a blow-dry boom, with a half dozen blowout bars now on (or near) the Strip. One such establishment, the newly opened iBlowdry, even offers coiffures after hours. The off-Strip salon features a menu of blowouts, mani/pedis and makeup applications offered from noon till midnight six days a week. Clients can choose from eight blowout styles all named for flowers, including the superstraight Tulip, the loosely curled Dandelion and the ubercurly Daisy. Other perks include cellphone-charging stations and flat-screen TVs playing classics like “Sixteen Candles.”

Eli Roth’s Goretorium

Mirrors dripping blood, barbers trimming brains, skin drying in the laundry — it’s all part of Sin City’s only year-round fright fest. Created by writer-producer Eli Roth, the twisted mind behind the on-screen blood baths “Hostel” and “Cabin Fever,” the Goretorium is a multilevel maze of terror set inside the fictional Delmont Hotel. To take the edge off, there’s a bar called (what else?) Bloody Mary, plus a zombie-filled wedding chapel where a sinister minister brings new meaning to “till death do us part.”
