Information about the Capri Motel sign that sits at 325 Fremont St. Site address: 325 Fremont St Sign owner: Nemo Motel LLC Sign details: This motel was originally constructed in 1958. Their sign states "New Rooms, Daily and Weekly", so it is unclear if they renovated or if they have new rooms daily since this has been on their sign since 2007. Sign condition: 2- Has a lot of weathering and the paint is very faded and some neon tubing is broken Sign form: Pylon Sign-specific description: This pylon has a red steel base. On the top there is a rusty-red rectangle with "MOTEL" spelt out horizontally in a painted white block letter font (looks as though it had skeletal neon with most of it broken on each side). Below this is a rusty-red rectangular blade sign box that has a white plastic sign in it that states "CAPRI" vertically in Red block font letters. The base behind this sign box does look like it has holes in it every few inches as a part of its design. Below this is another rusty-red sign box that has a white plastic sign that says, "New Rooms, Daily and Weekly, Free Phone- Wifi Internet-Cable T.V.- Movies" In a mid-century modern paint effect font. This sign box looks as though there once was incandescents surrounding it but are now mostly missing. Sign - type of display: Neon and incandescent remains Sign - media: Steel and plastic Sign - non-neon treatments: Plastic backlit portion of sign Sign environment: Down on the East side of Fremont, this location has two car sales lots on either side of it and has other Motels nearby. Sign - date of installation: Has been up since at least 2007 Sign - thematic influences: The font they use on the bottom portion listing what this location offers has that thick paintbrush effect that you would see on older signs. With this it shows that many signs were hand painted (though we do not know if this one was or not). Survey - research locations: Asessor's Page and Google map roadside view Survey - other remarks: Next to the Flamingo there was a motel called the Flamingo Capri Motel which is a very similar name http://vintagelasvegas.com/post/116515472029/flamingo-capri- motel-las- vegas-c1960- this.
