Ferguson's Motel
Las Vegas, NV Photo by RoadsidePeek.com
Here's another brightly lit neon motel sign along Fremont Street that
always seems to be on. The Ferguson's Motel is fun to
see and servers as a flashback to what all of Fremont used to look like
in its heyday.

This Boulder Highway motel called A Fishers Inn advertises
it "comfortable family lodging." Good to see that the neon sign
is still in fine shape and all the neon letters are still working. This motel was formerly called the Comet Motel back in the day.

Check out the "lucky cuss" on this motel sign. The Lucky
Cuss Motel still lights up along Boulder Highway across from
the former Showboat.

Here's a couple of neon shots of the Motel 8 sign that used to
sit in front of Mr. Deli's Market in Las Vegas, before a wind blew it
down a few years ago.
Many thanks to Allen Sandquist for photos and info.
Holiday Motel

Some say that the next motels to go in Vegas are the ones on the north
side of the strip like the Fun City and the Holiday Motel.
Say it ain't so! With the loss of the Tam O'Shanter and the soon to be
sayonara to the La Concha, the old mid-century motels along the strip
are becoming a rarity. This marquee for the Holiday is a one of a kind...
just perfect for its proximity to Circus Circus and a flashback to the
old Holiday Inn signs of yesteryear. Yes, the Vegas Neon Museum may be
able to save this sign and put it up in a museum somewhere, but it sure
wouldn't be the same thing. C'mon Vegas, leave some of your fantastic
relics of your past for all to remember and treasure.
