Vintage Las Vegas Neon Sign/Marquee Letters. Movie Memoribilia
This sign came off the Klondike casino which was the first hotel and casino as you entered the strip, to the right of the welcome to fabulous Las Vegas sign which is arguably the most famous sign in the world. This casino and hotel served as the parking lot for tourists to stop and take pictures next to the welcome sign until a median/parking lot was built. There was a 5 year period that the welcome to Las Vegas sign was not lit. The owner of the Klondike hotel at that time, ran a heavy duty electric cord to make sure that sign remained lit. An article on that is included below. These letters are roughly 7ftx4ftx10in. They all vary in size of length but the width and height remain the same. They were featured in the iconic 90’s film Vegas vacation, in a deleted scene of miss congeniality 2, and likely many other films. I will update those as I find them. Please see YouTube links below for clips were the sign is featured in those films. As you can see in the pictures there was steel support framing added to the S only. The sign was split up and the owner of the S reinforced the letter because these signs are wobbly due the the large size and the thin steel they are made of. These signs can be split to read CA (California), CO (Colorado), Along with SIN as a separate word. These signs are neon museum quality! I will hand deliver this item from Las Vegas.
