The Las Vegas Motel still features a nicely kept up sign along Fremont Street. Not sure if this sign still exists.

Check out some of the old motels that still can be found in the Vegas downtown area, many of which are on Fremont Street.

The Cardinal Motel features a wing like marquee (hmmm... like a Cardinal?) and sits along Las Vegas Boulevard South. Well, at least it used to. Here's a neon shot of this grand marquee.


Peter Pan Motel (Closed)

The Peter Pan Motel and its eye catching sign just off Fremont Street is a unique one.

Update 05/06 : The Peter Pan Motel closed its doors in the last couple of years and appears to be on its last legs. 05-06

The Clark Inn Motel points the way to a busy Fremont Street motel. Well, in this case it was an empty dirt lot. The Clark Inn sign no longer stands, just another of the roadside treasures to fade away to dust.

Here's the Eden's Hotel, located just off of Las Vegas Boulevard. This faded out marquee focuses its boomerang arrow on the housing units. This location appears to be long-term housing these days.


Downtowner Motel

The big marquee still points the way into the Downtowner Motel in Las Vegas.


Mid-Towner Hotel
Las Vegas, NV

The Mid-Towner Hotel and Apartments features an old treasure of a sign that still feature the lettering "cooled by refrigeration" on it. By the looks of things, the neon pieces of the arrow in the middle may have once moved sequentially. This shot was taken from a rather unique vantage point.

The Villa Inn Motel in Las Vegas is located at the north end of Las Vegas Boulevard near downtown. The signage is still eye-catching though it was redone in recent years. 12-07

The Normandie Motel marquee and its medieval themed hatchet dates back to the 1940's. The sign is now at the neon boneyard after the motel was demolished in the early part of this decade. 12-08
