Description
Information about the Ponderosa Motel (American Inn Motel) sign that sits at 3325 Fremont St.
Site address: 3325 Fremont St
Sign owner: American Inn Motel LLC
Sign details: This location has been around since 1968, but mid-2016 it was renovated from the Ponderosa Inn Motel to the American Inn Motel but they use the same sign that was slightly redesigned for their use.
Sign condition: 5- very good condition and shines brightly at night
Sign form: Pylon
Sign-specific description: This pylon sign has a red steel beam base that has a reader board on the bottom portion of the sign. Above the reader board spells out "MOTEL" vertically in white Frontier font letters, with each letter in its own red square. Each letter of this is outlined in red skeletal neon. Above this is a rectangular plastic back lit sign (used to say Ponderosa on it) that now currently has the American Inn logo in it with white letters but a red and blue background. The whole sign is outlined in chasing incandescent light bulbs.
Sign - type of display: Neon, incandescent and plastic back lit sign
Sign - media: Steel and plastic
Sign - non-neon treatments: Plastic back lit portion
Sign animation: Incandescent light bulbs chasing all around the sign.
Sign environment: This property is very east on Fremont in between St. Louis street and Sahara. There are also many other motels and apartments surrounding this property. This motel is right next door to the Lucky Cuss Motel (their old sign is now one of the restored signs in the Las Vegas Signs project showcases on Las Vegas Blvd.).
Sign - date of installation: Has been up since around 2011
Sign - date of redesign/move: 2016 the plastic portion of the sign was swapped out from the Ponderosa motel sign and the American Inn sign that is currently there now.
Sign - thematic influences: The big MOTEL portion of this sign was very prominent on motel signs in the 50's/60's, such as the La Concha and Tam O' Shanter Motel signs.
Sign - artistic significance: Font was an old west Frontier font which was prominently popular in Las Vegas in the 1940's but has been recreated many times throughout Vegas history.
