Sign details: Part of Harrahs property
Sign condition: 5 - great condition, fully functional seems well kept up
Sign form: Back to Back architectural sign
Sign-specific description: Large arch that rests on the side of the building playing off the name "golden arches" for Mcdonald's, a small cabinet sits on the middle of the sign with the full name of Mcdonalds and a small M on the edge of the cabinet. The arch is yellow covered in yellow neon tubing, the cabinet is red with white lettering for the name, the name in white, small M is yellow. The Neon tubing is animated in the sense it will flash on and off and then chase up the arch towards the building, the words and the M stay lit at all times. The sign is on even during the day as shown in many youtube videos. It also has a red base on the sidewalk where guests walk by with another small M in yellow. It looks like the lettering for Mcdonald's and the M are made of plastic and are internally lit.
Sign - type of display: Neon, incandescent bulbs
Sign - media: Steel, fiberglass/plastic
Sign animation: Yes, neon flashes on and off then chases up the archway to meet in the middle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQcsd2-GdfY&t=2922s (21 minutes in)

Rodríguez-Martinez, Rocio
Rocio Rodríguez-Martinez’s oral history is one that comes with the glimmer of emeralds, soft aroma of orchids, and the powerful scent of coffee—100% Colombian coffee, that is. Born in Bogotá, Colombia to Eustacio Rodríguez and Tulia de Rodríguez, Rocio’s story is one that takes her from pretending to be a teacher at her family store in Santa Isabel to teaching English to mothers of students in the Clark County School District [CCSD] of Las Vegas.
