The Craft and Hobby Association (CHA) summer show is in Las Vegas this year, bringing thousands of scrapbookers and crafters to my hometown July 22-25, 2013. In addition to the famous Las Vegas sign and other spectacular photo spots around town, I'd like to share a few spots you will definitely want to visit for amazing photos.
1. The Neon Museum (aka the Neon Graveyard)
Where do old neon signs go to retire? The Neon Graveyard. Located off Las Vegas Boulevard near Downtown Las Vegas, this unique museum is a fabulous place to take photos. Famous signs from legendary hotels and attractions are displayed in this outdoor wonder of colorful fun.
Tours are available 7 days a week, and evening tours are available in the summer. Reservations are not required, but recommended. Details for tours available here.
2. Las Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame
Gather up your quarters for something other than the slot machines and visit this unique collection of pinball machines housed in a 10,000 square foot facility just off the Las Vegas strip. (It's really close to the convention center and airport). Definitely worth a visit for some throwback worthy photos that can't be found anywhere else.
Note: They are also available for private parties. How fun is that?
Open 7 days a week 11am to 11pm. Cha-Ching!
3. Red Rock Canyon Conservation Area
The desert southwest is home to gorgeous scenery beyond the neon of the Las Vegas strip. You may have seen the gorgeous red-hued mountains to the west of our valley as you flew in or drove into the city.
This park area provides a gorgeous backdrop for photos and is a quick drive from the city center. Park hours and details can be found here.
If you go, take plenty of water and re-apply sunscreen often. I promise, the drive is definitely worth it.
Las Vegas offers many surprising photo opportunities beyond the usual glitz and glam. I'm looking forward to seeing your creative photos and scrapbook pages. Enjoy your visit to Las Vegas!

Oh my. I'd love to have gone and seen half of these. Visiting the CHA event is on my bucket list. Lucky you actually living there. The scenery is spectacular!
