It kind of takes your breath away when you start to think of all the neon treasures we have lost over the years. And it makes us thankful for the Neon Museum for doing all they do to keep those signs from being lost to history.
Here are some of our favorite signs-Tell us what were yours!
The Dunes Sign was always supposed to be there!
The way Fremont Street should look
The Desert Rose Motel- Luckily the sign is at the Neon Museum awaiting restoration
The little El Sombrero- power lunch haven for years
The Algiers Hotel- remember the cool lounge it had?
The Somerset Shopping Center with the Villa Roma and the Stardust sign in the background
The Lucky Cuss Motel on Boulder Highway
The Starlite Motel with Jerry's Nugget in the background
The Swim-In-Pool
Vegas Trailer Supply on Boulder Highway
Thanks to Al Richardson, Allen Sandquist, Joel Rosales and As We Knew It for letting us the images.
