The Normandie Motel Marquee neon sign

The Normandie Motel marquee and its medieval themed hatchet dates back to the 1940’s. The original motel was located on the east end of Fremont Street and was torn down during the first decade of 2000. The sign is now located on Las Vegas Blvd. just north of Fremont Street and is part of the public display from the Boneyard collection.

Another instresting fact is that this sign was designed by Betty Willis. Willis’ claim to fame is that she designed the world-famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada” sign, installed in 1955 by the Young Electric Sign Company.
