Blue Angel Motel on East Fremont Street

The Blue Angel opened in 1956. The well known sign was designed by iconic Neon Designer Betty Willis. Betty who also designed the Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Willis was criticized for depicting the well endowed angel that now over looks the motel. At one time, the angel revolved and was surrounded by blue jays. The Blue Angel was inspired, fittingly enough, by the Blue Fairy in Walt Disney’s classic animated feature, “Pinocchio”.

The Blue Angel closed in 2011.

The Famous Stardust Hotel & Casino Sign

The Stardust neon sign, 188 feet tall was erected in 1967 replacing the original circular Saturn like neon sign.

Then in 1991, the font on the sign was changed from its former “Cosmic” lettering to a basic Futura font. The casino and hotel are now long gone, but most of the signage remains at The Neon Museum.
