Exhibit

Neon Signs Exhibit

            This exhibit was probably one of the most interesting exhibits I have ever been too, mainly because it was bright and beautiful. Not many people get to be so close to neon signs because they are always up on the building so far away from us. To see them so close to you and to see how big they really are was outstanding. We could also feel the heat coming from the lights as well because there were so many of them and they were huge!

            I would go back again just to see all of the vintage signs. They had The iconic M-shaped cowboys that use to belong to the old Mapes Hotel and Casino which was demolished a long time ago.

           My favorite was probably the sign from the old Sahara building which was located in Las Vegas, Nevada. When I saw that specific sign, it instantly reminded me of Las Vegas, my hometown, so it felt a little nostalgic.

   Other signs that caught my interest was the big Nevada sign  in the middle of the gallery. It was for the Nevada Club which closed in 1997. It was really neat to read about each sign and the history of it as well. If I had the chance to see the gallery again, I would definitely go and see it because not many people can say they have been next to big, famous neon signs from Las Vegas or Reno.
