Here's a night shot of the Walden Motel in Las Vegas. This marquee features the starry theme on its neon lit sign.
Update 09/06 : Here's a more recent photo of the Walden Theatre in its neon glory. Many thanks to Allen Sandquist for updated photo. 09-06 Walden Motel (2006)
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.
Always fun to see the Starlite Motel sign lit up in North Las Vegas. Hopefully this fine sign will be around forever.

Check out the "lucky cuss" on this motel sign. The Lucky Cuss Motel still lights up along Boulder Highway across from the former Showboat. Update 09/06 : Check out the Lucky Cuss Motel, all lit up as the sun fades out over the horizon. Many thanks to Allen Sandquist for updated photo. 09-06 Lucky Cuss Motel (2006)
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.
The old Bonanza Lodge sign still somewhat lights up along Fremont Street. Seems like more and more of the Fremont signs are going dim these days. Somerset Motel This fine neon sign, also featuring the starburst them, belongs to the Somerset Motel near the Convention Center.
Another of the boulder highway motels is still lit up... this one for the Gatewood Motel. All the lights make this roadside motels somewhat inviting. Western Hotel Though not a motel per se, this neon sign for the Western Hotel fits on this page because.. 'er .. it happened to be in the batch of files that I put aside for this neon motel update. A fine sign nonetheless.
