The New Mexico Route 66 Association has coordinated a state-wide neon restoration project. The project has restored and preserved several original Mother Road neons, and New Mexico has an enviable collection of nostalgic lights along the route.

Classic neon can be seen all across the state at places like TePee Curios in Tucumcari, the Sun 'n' Sand Motel in Santa Rosa, the Westward Ho Motel in Albuquerque, the Grants Cafe in Grants and the Lexington Hotel in Gallup among others. In Moriarty a truly unique, awesomely restored neon rotosphere spins atop the El Comedor restaurant sign.
