It kind of takes your breath away when you start to think of all the neon treasures we have lost over the years. And it makes us thankful for the Neon Museum for doing all they do to keep those signs from being lost to history.

Here are some of our favorite signs-Tell us what were yours!

Algiers sign that once graced the front of the small hotel and lounge.

The Desert Rose Motel that once sat on Las Vegas Blvd South. Luckily for all of us, it found a home at the Neon Museum and awaits restoration.

The little El Sombrero Cafe which was a power lunch hang-out for many years.

Glitter Gulch, the way it used to be- I miss that canyon of neon

Best place for frog legs in the Valley. Very old school and no longer with us.

La Concha Motel- the sign and Paul Williams designed building are part of the Neon Museum!!!!

The Last Frontier Village- early Frontierland!

Somerset Shopping Center

The galaxy exploded across the front of the Stardust

The Starlite Motel in North Town

The Swim-In-Pool Supply Company

Vegas Trailer Supply on Boulder Highway

Thanks to Allen Sandquist for allowing us to use some of his images.
