Description
Information about the Barker Motel sign that sits at 2600 N Las Vegas Blvd.
Site address: 2600 N Las Vegas Blvd
Sign owner: Barker LLC
Sign details: 0.21 acre lot constructed in 1954. Property is closed.
Sign condition: 2- the sign is faded and neon has fallen off, as well as the majority of their original sign was taken down or weathered away
Sign form: Directional sign on top of building
Sign-specific description: The property has a tower which has a sign on top of it that is a peach colored arrow that has dark brown block lettering stating "MOTEL" that points towards the entrance of the parking lot of the motel. This end of the arrow has a steel support that goes to the first story of the building. This portion looks like it used to have skeletal neon but has fallen off. Near the road where this motel is located it looks as though there was once a sign because there is remnants of what the base of the sign was but no graphics on it.

Sign - media: Steel
Sign environment: Located in North Las Vegas, close to Jerry's Nugget Casino
Sign - date of redesign/move: Appears there are remnants of their original sign on the roadside, but the letters has been removed. It has been this way since at least 2010.
