Arby’s Classic Neon Hat sign was found on Decatur Blvd Near Meadows Lane
Another classic neon sign has been removed in Las Vegas and it’s not the flashy ones found on the Strip or on downtown. The old Arby’s location (store #592) on Decatur Blvd. near Meadows Lane has been shuttered and the classic ten-gallon neon hat sign now removed, but I caught a photo before it was removed.

Blue Angel Motel Sign
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 Red Barn began its existence in the late 1950’s as an antique store at 1317 Tropicana Ave. In the early 1960’s new owners converted it into a bar that became popular due to its proximity to the new university on Maryland Parkway. By the end of the decade, the bar had become a favorite entertainment spot for Las Vegas’ emerging gay community. The Red Barn closed in 1988 and owner Claude Howard donated its classic cocktail glass sign to the Allied Arts Council. Installed as part of the Neon museum on November 15, 2000.
