Near the Yuma Cabana is this sign for the El Rancho Motel. They filmed some risque scenes for the second version of "Getaway" here.

It appears that the marquee for the El Rancho was changed in recent years from the neon one that used to grace the front. 05-06

 

 

Hacienda Motel

Across the street from the Yuma Cabana is the neon sign for the Hacienda Motel. The couple that owns this place were proud of their sign and commented how expensive it is to keep it up and running. 05-06

Check out this neon shot of the marquee for Andy Womack's Flamingo Motor Hotel off Route 66 in Flagstaff, AZ. Not sure if this motel is still around, or at least if the marquee is. 03-08

UPDATE 05/08 : The Flamingo Motor Motel has been gone for more than 10 years now, demolished to make way for a Barnes & Noble Bookstore that now sits on that site. The sign was probably destroyed along with the rest of the place. Many thanks to Ellen Roberts for update. 05-08
