The Safari Motel features a name that fits in with a city built in the middle of a desert.

(Left) The Desert Hills Motel on Fremont Street features a relatively nondescript, yet classic sign. The sign appears to be a recent replacement.

(Left) The Hialeah Motel proudly proclaims that its has TV. The 1924 appears to be an address, not a vintage date. Unfortunately, like many of the old motel marquee masterpieces along Fremont Street, the neon on this motel sign no longer works.

Another theme motel is the Par-A-Dice Motel. Would have been great to see this place in its heyday, before having to resort to live-in rates.

To the right... You can't have motels in Vegas without some reference to the city of sin. Well, here's a couple. The Vegas Motel and its still vintage marquee and the Vegas Chalet with its huge downward arrow.

UPDATE 05/06 : The sign for the Vegas Chalet Motel is no more and has been gone for several years. 05-06
