Here's a look at the Polyanna Motel in Las Vegas. Ever wonder why the motel is named after a bird while there's an image of a hat on top of the marquee? That's because this motel used to be called the Sombrero.

The Glass Pool Inn is home to a glass pool. Yes, this pool actually has windows on its sides that makes for quite a classic effect. See more photos and info about the Glass Pool In at Roadside Peek's Lost Treasures feature on the Glass Pool Inn.

Here's one of the most famous Vegas motels of all... the La Concha Motel. This conch lookin' place still features a googie building and sign, though the marquee lost its top a few years back.

Check out the inside of the La Concha. Although filled with tons of gift stuff, the architecture itself is a throwback to an era where space exploration was a dream.

UPDATE 07/06 : The La Concha building was torn down in December 2003. The sign was replaced with a plastic rectangular sign advertising something else a year or so later. All that's left right now is the darkened lobby. The latest word is that the Las Vegas Neon Museum has raised sufficient funds to move save and move the lobby to their site to be used as a welcome lobby. 07-06
