The Neon Museum Getting Mobbed! TONIGHT!!!

After years of anticipation two of the most significant museum developments in Las Vegas's history are rising from the ground and getting ready to welcome the world. The Neon and MOB Museums will open their doors within one year and welcome visitors to this communities unique history. These two projects are benchmark to the continued growth of Las Vegas's Cultural Arts scene. As we continue our march forward as a community the only way that Las Vegas will grow into a prosperous and vibrant city that is rich in the arts is by continuing to invest in an infrastructure that will greatly enhance our economic vitality. If Las Vegas is going to become part of the great league of cities we must diversify and invest in the arts.

I know that I have become a bit of a cheerleader in regards to economic diversification through the arts but I see no other way  that Las Vegas will grow and prosper if we do not sit down and start getting serious about our future. My new mantra and for some a great platform...

"Economic diversification through investment in cultural arts infrastructure to attract innovative, creative businesses and visitors to Las Vegas" - BPA
