Everything is Better in Neon
The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, features signs from old casinos and other businesses displayed outdoors on over 6 acres.
For many years, the Young Electric Sign Company stored many of these old signs in their “boneyard.” The signs were slowly being destroyed by exposure to the elements. The museum is slowly restoring the signs and placing them around the Fremont Street Experience.
FYI: It looks like the Neon Museum sign actually have any neon on it.

Glitter Gulch’s neon cowgirl is nicknamed Vegas Vicky. Originally named Sassy Sally after the strip joint below her, she was designed by Ad-Art and put up in 1980. Her leg was supposed to kick out over Fremont Street but that never seemed to work. In 2001, Sassy Sally’s became the Mermaids Casino. Vegas Vicky is still there, across the street from Vegas Vic.
While the Fremont Street Experience was under construction and before they took Vegas Vicki down, she and Vic were married in a ceremony covered by the local newspapers and news stations.
