What what a treasure!
I SO love the Sassy sign!!!
I would love to see the Neon graveyard!
That's so cool - I never even thought about where neon signs went when no one used them anymore.
I love the photos!
We have to find out exactly where it is and go! i want to take my polaroid camera!
what a wonderful place for a stroll and to think of all the stories the signs could tell.
I love this! I just moved to Vegas and have been meaning to go here and check it out.
these are excellent! thanks so much for sharing!
...may they rest in peace! Sometimes I want to be a show girl with those fab ostrich feathersss...
Yes, where do all the neon lights go? Those are some vintage signs. Super photos.... I feel some inspiration for a poem... lol.
The place is called the "Neon Sign Boneyard." Tours available by appointment. lets go!

I have a love-hate relationship with neon signs. Sometimes they make me cringe, and sometimes they make me want to hang one in front of my kitchen (Dinners at Tina's {or Tinner's}) Very confusing. I loved the polaroids you took of Beverly Hills sign and I adore these. I want a t-shirt with that "Neon" sign! xoxo
I want the sassy sign
They are so much more poetic as the lay there in the hot sand of day, than they were in their hey day.
Seems to me, there was a gorgeous magazine layout at that location with Mila Jovavich ....not too long ago?
Kind of sad, though, don't you think? All the hope gone into each one...
I wonder how many people each one attracted????
Gone are the days of yesterdays successes
the girl in the bottom one reminds me of snow white!
I love the idea of a neon sign graveyard, such faded decadence.
Hi, just stumbled upon your blog. Fabulous!
Oh how I wish I lived in Nevada so I could fill my house with all the beautiful pieces. I just love letters!
ROAD TRIP! I love neon signs!
Bella, T. Beautiful decay the subject of so many poems, stories. As former archaeologist, I tend to see these sorts of things thru love/hate prism as well. I suspect many of us would like that sassy sign somewhere in abode or on our person--in some form.

I am NUTS about these! So vintage-over-the-top! Gorgeous relics they are. :)
there are fantasy and magic place ...
I want that sassy sign so badly, I would put it in my kitchen for all to see, unless of course it is too massive!!
How fantastic!!
In LOVE with these signs! I have a neon sign fetish!!! I wish I could have them hanging in my home!dol
