Everything glowed in the nightclub because it was lit with blacklights which are just fluorescent lamps which emit long wavelength UV.

I've never tried it myslelf but I've heard that UVA appears pink when looked at with a CCD in a digital camera.

What colour does the neon appear to you? It might be bright red/orange but there will certainly be some invisible UV in there.
