Daytime and nighttime views of the Rosewood Grille signs on the Strip. Information about the sign is available in the Southern Nevada Neon Survey Data Sheet.
Site address: 3335 S Las Vegas Blvd
Sign owner: Alan and Kevin LeWinter
Sign details: The Rosewood Grill is between the Venetian Hotel-Casino and the Tam O'Shanter Motel on the east side of Las Vegas Blvd The facade of the building is a plain, if not unassuming white stucco structure, with a driveway running along the north side of the building. Directly in front of the buildings western wall, along the strip, a tall pylon faces north /south
Sign condition: Structure 3 Surface 3 Lighting 3
Sign form: Pylon
Sign-specific description: The pylon sign, which faces north/south, is the only signage notifying the pedestrian traffic of the establishment within. It is a tall vertical advertisement, mostly comprised of a vertical, rectangular shaped, internally lit cabinet, with rounded edges. The face of the sign is a plastic, graphically treated photo image of a man in a tuxedo holding up a giant lobster.
Sign - type of display: Incandescent; Backlit
Sign - media: Steel; Plastic
Sign - non-neon treatments: Graphics
Sign animation: Chasing, flashing
Notes: The raceway, which runs the circumference of the faces of the sign, contains small strobes placed at random places, and flashing at random patterns.
Sign environment: The sign for the establishment is the only marker that anything is operational in the dimly lit building. Not that the building looks non operational, but the majority of the building is very unassuming, mostly being denoted by the large drive and entrance. It is located just south of the Tam O'Shanter motel, among the awkward transition of the strip, that is Spring Mountain Rd. The Vagabond Inn and the Treasure Island square off the end of the block before the desolate expanse of what used to be the Desert Inn, and the transforming Fashion Show Mall, sprawl out across the north side of the road. The Rosewood Grill is part of the side of the street that trails off in size, but not character as the giant Venetian slows its progress.
Sign - date of redesign/move: Was the Anoje Continental Restaurant, next to the Kit Carson Motel, but was changed to the Rosewood Grill.
Sign - thematic influences: Not much of a theme, outside of advertising for a big lobster dinner.

Daytime views of the Somerset Shopping Center sign on the Strip. Information about the sign is available in the Southern Nevada Neon Survey Data Sheet.
Site address: 252 Convention Center Dr
Sign form: Pylon
Sign-specific description: The sign is designed out of a blue pole, telescoping upward, spearing three double backed cabinets stacked on top of each other in close proximity. Two small wings flagpole of the north and south edges of the pole, which houses graphics advertisement for the businesses in the shopping center. The top sign is an oval cabinet, painted a light blue color on the surface and yellow on the width. The text, "Somerset" is painted white all capital letters, and outlined in black. The text that occupies the cabinet takes up most of the available space and is overlaid with neon tubing. The middle cabinet is the largest of the three. It is a rectangular shape with concave sides. The sides look as if a low sweeping cut has been taken out of the body, starting from edge to edge. The result is a symmetrically morphed geometric shape. "Shopping" is spelled in all capital channel letters, painted white on the interiors, and lined on the interiors with neon tubing. The surface is painted a rusted orange with the width painted yellow. The width of the cabinet is lined with a single row of incandescent bulbs on opposite edges. The bottom and third cabinet is identical to the oval shape of the top cabinet. The difference is that the surface of the cabinet is painted the same rusted orange color as the middle cabinet, and yellow on the width. The three cabinets are encircled with a giant circular, yellow, raceway, reaching up in the sky arching up over the top and completely encompassing the cabinets facing east/west. Blue rods radiate outward, repeating around the edge of the raceway at various lengths. They penetrate the surface of the raceway, protruding on both sides. They start at the top one vertical rod pointing directly vertical into the sky from the center pole. They then alternate, short then long, attached to various strategic points on the three central cabinet, creating a symmetrical pattern. The rods are lined on two edges with neon tubing, which animate in a chasing pattern.

Site address: 1508 S Las Vegas Blvd
Sign owner: Ron and Carol Tadmor; Herb Sider
Sign details: Opened in 1962, the Tod Motor Motel was an exciting contribution to Las Vegas Boulevard.

The neighboring properties, however, refused to sell and the owner of Tod tried to get approval to sell units as condos. The Tod Motor Motel has since closed and entrance is boarded up.
