LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nowhere is there a larger collection of Las Vegas casino memorabilia than at The Neon Museum, home to the iconic signage that helped define the glittering image of the gambling mecca of the world.

Aaron Berger, Executive Director and CEO of The Neon Museum, will be a featured speaker at World’s Largest Casino Collectibles Show scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 18-20, 2026, in Exhibit Hall D at the South Point Casino in Las Vegas. Berger will call on his 20-plus years of museum leadership to talk about the legacy of collecting and importance of The Neon Museum’s iconic signage to the history of Las Vegas.

Under Berger’s leadership, The Neon Museum has enjoyed regional, national, and international media attention through print, web, podcast and television. The Neon Museum was recognized alongside The Metropolitan, The Getty, and the Smithsonian as one of the top 26 museums in America by Travel + Leisure and USA Today awarded “The Best Pop Culture Museum.” Museum leadership has become the authority on arts & culture and architecture in Las Vegas by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Travel Weekly, The Times, Forbes, and more.

He will also be on the show floor at 10 AM to meet and greet attendees.

About the Show
The Casino Collectibles Association’s 33rd annual show is a must-see event for anybody who is fascinated by gaming history. The show features the greatest single-location collection of the iconic artifacts and mementos that bring casino history, and memories, to life. Many are symbols of past gaming grandeur that are gone or becoming rare; souvenirs from when the casinos wanted customers to pocket their branded keepsakes as reminders of a memorable experience. Things like gaming chips of all denominations, gaming tokens, dice, slot cards, playing cards, matchbooks, ashtrays, menus, dinnerware, swizzle sticks, casino photos, post cards, signs, table felt – just about anything a casino could put its name on. Over 30 worldwide dealers will be on hand to offer attendees the unique opportunity to examine, buy, sell, or trade casino collectibles.

The exhibition is the annual educational effort of the Casino Collectibles Association, a non-profit club with hundreds of members who passionately share the hobby of collecting and preserving the past. Show hours are June 18, 10 AM – 5 PM (admission $10), June 19, 9 AM – 4 PM (admission $5), and admission is free June 20 and from 9 AM until 4 PM. Admission is free every day for First Responders, Active Military and Casino Employees with appropriate ID.
