Crystals illuminate as Lynette Chappell, the “evil queen” in the Siegfried & Roy show, flips a switch during a lighting ceremony for the restored 3,600-lb. Siegfried & Roy statue at the Neon Museum Friday, April 24, 2026. Looking on are Aaron Berger, center, executive director/CEO of the Neon Museum, and Adam Barthelmess, museum board chairman. The statue, previously located in front of the Mirage on The Strip for more than 30 years, was donated to the museum after Hard Rock International acquired the property.
