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.

How about the Towne & Country Motel for some sun and sand? Not sure where the sand comes from, but there's certainly sun!

The Desert Moon sign features a yellowish moon orb atop its eye catching and tall marquee. This motel is one of the remaining survivors of the old Fremont strip, which sadly has many that no longer light the neon way at night.

The Apache Motel used to be one of the familiar signs you'd see if you entered downtown Las Vegas from the south along Main Street. Unfortunately, the motel has met the fate of many other Las Vegas motels and was demolished in early 2010 to make way for the new city hall area. The sign has been donated to the Las Vegas Neon Museum. 09-10
