A rather interesting looking sign, marquee to the Oasis Motel features
either a moon or banana. Then again, any sign with a name like oasis makes
one wonder if the sign itself is a mirage.

Here's a couple of additional shots of the Oasis Motel marquee
from Tulsa. In the close-up shop of the sign at the near left, it looks
like the neon is still intact on this classic roadside motel sign.

UPDATE 08/17 : Here's another shot of the Oasis Motel sign, this one without the sputnik that used to be atop the sign. The motel appeared to be used for long term lodging. 08-17

The Desert Hills Motel is near the Rose Bowl bowling alley and features a marquee
that also lights up at night. Check out the cactus giving a sort of roadside
wave to passersby that take the time to check out this place. The Desert Hills was built in 1953 and has been featured in several movies over the years.
UPDATE 08/17 : The roadside gem of the Desert Hills Motel still stands along busy Route 66 in Tulsa. 08-17
