The Ambassador Motel sits along Fremont Street advertising $16 rooms and packaged liquor.

UPDATE 12/08 : The Ambassador East Motel was demolished in December 2007. The motel opened in 1952 and eventually closed in 1996. Another Fremont treasure is now just a memory. 12-08

The Clark Inn Motel is a sign advertising a motel ... that's no longer there. Yes, the arrow does point to a vacant lot.... how poignant.

UPDATE 05/06 : The sign for the Clark Inn was also taken down from the site several years ago. Currently there is nothing at the site other than a dirt lot. 05-06

An interesting roadside sign that looks like a pod off a spaceship is the one belonging to the Star View Motel.
