Neon and other colorful lights made this outdoor sign for the Frontier Hotel and Casino stand out at night along Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Strip, a roadway lined with spectacular resort hotels and casinos just south of the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The Stardust opened in 1942 and operated for 65 years in that notorious desert destination well-known for its gambling and good times. This historical photograph was taken in 1983 before the Frontier was demolished in 2007. The sign advertises the star entertainers in the hotel's showroom, magicians Siegfried and Roy.
Neon and other colorful lights made this outdoor sign for the Frontier Hotel and Casino stand out at night along Las Vegas Boulevard, better known as the Strip, a roadway lined with spectacular resort hotels and casinos just south of the city limits of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. The Stardust opened in 1942 and operated for 65 years in that notorious desert destination well-known for its gambling and good times. This historical photograph was taken in 1983 before the Frontier was demolished in 2007. The marquee sign advertises the star entertainers in the hotel's showroom, magicians Siegfried and Roy, who became famous for performing with white tigers and lions. The glowing lights of neon signs first appeared in Las Vegas in 1929. Plentiful electricity produced by the new nearby Hoover Dam turned that sleepy frontier town into the City of Neon Lights by the 1940s and helped make it the tourist attraction that continues to this day.
