The Glass Pool Inn was an old 1950's era motel that was a fine example of the type of roadside lodging that was common along the Las Vegas Strip in the mid-century era. The Glass Pool was originally name the Mirage Motel, but sold its name to Steve Wynn who was building the Mirage Casino and Hotel in 1989.
The Glass Pool Inn distinguished itself from the typical roadside motel with its unique pool, which featured glass windows to see in and out of. These port hole shaped windows are quite eye-catching for those that pass by along Las Vegas Blvd and was the scene for many movies.
The motel closed its doors in 2003 after over 50 years in operation. The motel units, offices, and the pool itself were razed shortly thereafter in 2004 and just the sign remained, standing lonely by itself above the empty lot.
