Saturday Snapshots



There are old, restored signs along Fremont St in downtown Las Vegas 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is also a Neon Museum which requires a paid admission fee which we plan on visiting while here.

Here are a few of them.

The Hacienda Horse and Rider
Part of the Hacienda Hotel, 1967

  
The Flame Restaurant 1961


Aladdin's Lamp 1966

Dot's Flower Shop 1949

1940s

    Amazing travels! Our cats preclude this, but since hubby traveled so much for work, we're happy to be home!
    Cheers from Cottage Country!

    My first thought was "Las Vegas." It's been about 20 years since I've been there though. It is fun to see the old lights from the city.

    I, too, love the kitsch of these old neon signs! I also am intigued by buildings that are shaped to represent objects like milk bottles or ice cream cones or teepees etc etc!

    I'd have loved tagging along with you on your tour of Vegas!

    These old-timey signs are such great Americana. Don't forget Dreaming of France at my blog on Monday if you want to play along. You have such great photos. Here's Mine
