Is This The Most Disregarded Sign in All of Las Vegas?

This snapshot was taken inside the women's bathroom located right before the Hard Rock's Paradise Tower annex. Recently, some folks were busted at Rehab for drug possession and intent to sell but we can't help but wonder if the Hard Rock's party set really takes this sign to heart.

Remember the Long Gone Neon

When the Hacienda Hotel was imploded in 1996 to make way for Mandalay Bay, an important piece of its history was salvaged. Today you can head down to the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and the Fremont Street Experience and where the iconic Hacienda Horse and Rider neon sign still holds court.

This piece of old neon glory was the first of many to be prettied up and relocated by the Neon Museum. The non-for-profit company has swooped in to take 150 such symbolic representations of Vegas glitz and restore them to their former grandeur.
