Not just Casino signs

There are many signs on the Strip aka. Las Vegas Blvd. However, not all of them want you to gamble your money away. Another popular thing for some tourist to do in Las Vegas is to get married at the spur of the moment. For that there are many little wedding chapels up and down the strip. Even casino's are trying to get in on it by having chapel's within the casino. This chapel is one of the more famous Wedding chapels and is at the South end of the Strip next to McCarren Airport, across from the famous Las Vegas sign. After people have their picture taken in front of the Las Vegas sign some cross the street and snap a picture of them selves in from of this one. It is surrounded by green grass, which looks like an oasis because it is surrounded by desert like sand/stones.

Another popular place in the middle of the strip is the Harley-Davidson cafe, which has this enormous sign on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd. and Harmon. The cafe also has a gift shop with all kinds of Harley memorable gifts. It is a popular place for bikers to come and hangout and people-watch after cruising the strip, and yes there is parking for your bike as well. 

Signs of Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV is a city of lights and glitter. There are many casinos from the strip, to downtown, to the off-the-strip casinos geared more to locals. With these casinos comes signs, advertising to the tourist and gamblers to come in and play. There have been many signs in Las Vegas, they come and go. There's even a sign grave yard, north of Downtown, where old signs go to rest. The new signs now have lcd screens flashing videos to people on the streets, basically a TV commercial, but there are some that still have that Classic Vegas look. I have taken as many photos of these Vegas signs as I could, before they go to the grave yard, or worse, destroyed.

 The Glass pool inn has been closed for a while, but the sign and building was standing until the property was sold. Like many properties on the Strip they are very valuable and when someone with a lot of money comes in and offers these property owners a lucrative deal, they usually take it.

The MGM sign is an example of the modern signs of Las Vegas. It's enormous size clearly states this is a Grand Casino/hotel including the LCD TV screen that can be seen all the way down the strip.

This is part of a series of posts on Las Vegas signs. I have to many pictures for one post. Stay tuned for more. If you have your own classic Las Vegas signs photos, leave them in the comments below.
