roofed structure sits just to the east of the street and the northern
side butts against Stardust Rd . Outside, the corner is treated
with grass, and landscaping, creating a pleasant environment to
go along with the charm of the building as well. The low level pole
sign faces north/west. The building has a small wooden cross, surrounded
on the edges with white neon, on the top of the building, in the

6. Specfic Description:
The main sign for the candlelight
wedding chapel is essentially a small pole sign with three separate
sections of cabinets along with lighting elements. The white steel
pole rises out of the ground ,before transforming into a large two
sided marquee cabinet. The cabinet is crafted with sculptural elements
into its outer edge. The four corners swell up and bulge, before
slightly swooping inward. The top and bottom edges are climaxed
into a shallow point. The sides sweep into the notch of a negative
circular shape. The sides are given a scroll type feel. In two lines
across the red face of the sign, Wedding Chapel is spelled is white
text, occupying most of the space of the cabinet. Across the very
bottom of the cabinet Wedding Information is spelled in an all white
single row of text. The larger text is lined with incandescent bulbs
and outlined in neon. The bottom line of text is just lined in neon.
The pole protrudes through the top of the sign where a small horizontal,
internally lit cabinet, sports sculpted edges as well. The top and
bottom edges sweep from either side, then descend meeting at a point
in the center. The sides are simply concave, radiuses inward. The
white cabinet is lit internally, illuminating the white plastic
face. Black text stretches across the plastic face, reading candlelight.
Below the main cabinet two internally lit cabinet sandwich the pole,
creating two faces. The cabinets are all white, with white faces,
utilizing red letters. At the very top of the pole is a tree tiered
formation created with raceways and lined with incandescent bulbs.
One raceway rises vertically into the air perpendicular to the ground,
while the two flanking pieces arch out created a three-pieced fountain
shape. It is also reminiscent of a Fleur de Li.

11. Environment:
The positioning of the Candlelight
Wedding chapel gives it a unique role as an accent of softness,
among a bombardment of neon and pulsating lights. Just to the North,
is the Algiers parking lot, and to the south, the Riviera. Directly
west across the strip there is the ever electric Circus Circus.
Amid all this chaos of incandescence, screeching cabs, and buzzing
current, the green shrubbery and plot of turf finely houses the
pylon, and leads up to the structure itself. It is very charming
and fresh compared to. It definitely is reminiscent of the era of
establishment such as its neighbor the Algiers. |
