La Concha Lobby at The Neon Boneyard

Thu, Feb 14, 2008 (3 p.m.)

Listen to structural engineer Mel Green talk about the Neon Museum's new view. The old lobby from the La Concha motel was cut out, transported and rebuilt as the entryway and gift shop at the Neon Boneyard on Las Vegas Boulevard North.

Preserving the city architecturally and otherwise is the only thing preventing Las Vegas from being the 8th Wonder of the World. It's too bad they're just realizing this now, so much has already been "dusted". It's never too late. Let's hope the city and it's inhabiters finally do something about historic preservation. Everyone knows (except Nevadans) that history is how we see the future. There's always Hope.

It is nice to see some preservation going on in Las Vegas for a change. Now that they are starting to realize the importance of preserving what is left of Las Vegas historically , maybe that means that historic properties like The Sahara, Riveria, Tropicana , Circus Circus on The strip will escape the wrecking ball or as they like to do in Vegas the implosion party.
