The Lucky Cuss Motel was known as the "Panorama Motel" in the 1950s.
The Walden Motel supposedly opened in 1974 although it looks older to me. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. Atomic Liquors opened in 1953. The name reflects to the atomic bomb detonations that took place just a few miles away. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. The Ambassador East Motel opened in 1952 and was demolished in 2007 for condos. The sign will go to the Neon Museum. For more, see these websites: 1 and 3. |

The Peter Pan Motel closed a few years ago but the scaffolding on the sign might indicate new ownership. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3.

A. Fisher's Inn looks like an oldie but I can't find any information about it. Perhaps there was a name change and this sign was updated?

The Silver Nugget Casino opened in 1964. It closed in the late 1980s but reopened in 1990. Their sign features a revolving giant nugget. For more, see this website. This sign stood in front of a former Wimpy's burger stand which was built in 1965 and closed in the mid-1990s. Wimpy's head used to revolve. The "Mariscos Las Islitas" restaurant is there now. There was another Wimpy's location on Fremont St. at one time. I presume this chain was related to the Wimpy's Drive-ins of the 1930s. For more, see this website. |
