There is just something about the glitz and the glitter of Las Vegas that attracts the attention of just about everyone. One of the fun things about Vegas (besides the shows and the gambling!) are the numerous neon signs dotting the desert landscape. The Las vegas Scenic Byways Plan is a $1.1 Million dollar project in which vintage neon signs from long-demolished Sin City hotels are being refurbished for new life as cultural signposts of the city's spirited past. As many as 17 signs are slated to be place in medians on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Here is a HUGE Ladies High Heel from the Silver Slipper Gambling Hall (dismantled after Howard Hughes bought the property).

And Binion's Horshoe Casino:
Joe's Longhorn Saloon:
It is wonderful that these relics of days gone by will be restored for the enjoyment of a new generation. I remember when most of these hotels were still operating. Do you?
