| Binion's Hotel & Gambling Hall Las Vegas, NV |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Binion's Hotel & Gambling Hall, originally known as Binion's Horseshoe, was named after its owner Benny Binion. In 1951, he bought the "Eldorado Club" and "Apache Hotel" and converted them into Binion's Horseshoe. In 1988, the Horseshoe expanded by acquiring the adjacent hotel, "The Mint". In 2004, Binion's Horseshoe was sold and the signs were altered to remove any horseshoe references. The old signs are now located at The Neon Museum. [map]
The sign in the third row above was restored by the Neon Museum. It was originally part of the Binion's Horseshoe facade. It was installed in 2009 in the median of Las Vegas Blvd. near the museum.

| Vegas Club Hotel & Casino [gone] Las Vegas, NV |
Four Queens Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, NV |

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
The Las Vegas Club Hotel & Casino opened in 1931. In the late 1940s, it moved across the street. In the 1960s, the casino and hotel were remodeled with a baseball theme. Some of the older Las Vegas Club signs are now at The Neon Museum. In 2017, the building was demolished. The baseball player statue was saved but I believe it is still in storage. For more, see this website.
The Four Queens Hotel & Casino opened in 1966. It was named after the owner's four daughters. For more, see this website. [daytime photo thanks Glenda Campbell] [map] |
| Western Hotel Las Vegas, NV |
||
 |
 |
 |
| The Western Hotel opened around 1965 as the TOD Motel. The sign in the first photo above was installed then. It was originally painted blue and red. It became the Western Motel in 1966. Around 1970, the name was changed to the Western Hotel and Bingo Parlor (later known as the Western Hotel & Casino) when the casino opened. The sign was altered and moved to the nearby parking garage at that time. The other two signs may have been built then. By 2010, the projecting sign had apparently been restored. The original hotel building was demolished in 2012. The casino closed in 2012 but the building remains. The "Parking" sign above was removed around 2016. I don't know if it was saved. For more, see this website. [map] |
| Paris Hotel & Casino Las Vegas, NV |
|
 |
 |
| The Paris Hotel & Casino opened in 1999. In addition, to replicas of the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower, there is this 200-foot-tall neon balloon sign. It is a tribute to the Montgolfier hot air balloon of the 1700s. For more, see this website. [map] |

| Dino's Lounge Las Vegas, NV |
Lucky Motel Las Vegas, NV |
Las Gables Court Las Vegas, NV |
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Dino's Lounge was originally known as Ringside Liquors in the early 1950s. It became Dino's in 1962 and this pole sign is from then. The facade sign is from much later. [map]
The Lucky Motel opened in 1951 and this sign was never altered. It was removed in the 1990s and went into a private collection. It was eventually purchased by the City and restored as part of the Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission Centennial Legacy Grant project which restored six vintage signs at closed motels on East Fremont St. The city now owns and will maintain these signs. This sign was reinstalled in 2020. [map] The Las Gables Court was built in the 1940s. It had two other signs in the 1940s and 1950s. This sign is a replica of the original which was created as part of the Centennial project. In 2025, the motel was demolished but the sign remains. [map] |
| Travelers Motel Las Vegas, NV |

 |
 |
 |
| The Travelers Motel was built in 1936 as the Traveler's Auto Court. The motel was sold to the Downtown Project in 2013. The pole sign was repainted in 2020 as part of the Centennial project. The pole sign was built sometime between 1954 and 1961. The horizontal sign may have been added in the 1960s. [map] |
