Unknown Sign Photo courtesy Jay Lin Not sure where this statue of a guy shooting with a cue stick came from. However, in the background is a remnant of the old Sassy Sally's sign. Binion's Horseshoe Photo courtesy Jay Lin In this angle, the old Binion's Horseshoe sign for the free parking lot is clearly visible. Binion's Horseshoe Photo courtesy Jay Lin An older version of the Horseshoe sign is still in great condition here at the YESCO neon graveyard. Golden Nugget Photo courtesy Jay Lin Ever wonder what happened to the old Golden Nugget sign you see in postcards? Well, here it is... Jerry's Nugget Photo courtesy Jay Lin Not sure where the big "W" came from, but the marquee to the right is clearly from Jerry's Nugget in North Las Vegas. Joe's Longhorn Casino Photo courtesy Jay Lin Check out this old marquee for Joe's Longhorn Casino. Anyone remember where this one was located? La Concha Photo courtesy Jay Lin Ever wonder what happened to the top of the La Concha sign? Yep, here it is... Landmark Photo courtesy Jay Lin Some bits and pieces left over from the old Landmark Hotel. Modern Cleaners Photo courtesy Jay Lin An old sign for the still existent Modern Cleaners. Sam Boyd's Photo courtesy Jay Lin Here's a shot of an old Sam Boyd's sign as well as the back end of the Modern Cleaners marquee that used to grace Las Vegas Boulevard in the not so distant past. Royal Nevada Postcard courtesy Jim Emory (right) Well, see the crown on the rooftop in the postcard to the right? It is off of the Royal Nevada which used to sit next to the Stardust in the mid 50's. It has been sitting in the graveyard for over 45 years, and has made the move all three times that they (YESCO) have relocated the yard. Many thanks to Jim Emory for solving the "crown" puzzle and for info above. Sassy Sally's Photo courtesy Jay Lin Remember Sassy Sally's on Fremont Street? Well, here's the marquee. Silver Slipper and Aladdin Lamp Photo courtesy Jay Lin Spotted! The Silver Slipper and original Aladdin Lamp. Wedding Chapel Photo courtesy Jay Lin Looks like the marquee for some sort of wedding chapel. The "Big W" on the far left side of this image is from the Showboat that used to grace Fremont Street. The Hotel/Casino has now become the Castaways. Many thanks to Jay Lin for photo and to Jim Emory and Allen Sandquist for their knowledge in solving the "Big W" mystery.
