Inn is the Diamond Inn. The motel is on the east side of the strip,
and is one of the larger properties on the southern tip of Las Vegas
Blvd. The facility fits into the typical model of the roadside motel
on this portion of the strip. An official building sits on the north
side of the property and precedes a span of pavement centered with
a pool, and backed by the flanking wings of rooms. A pylon side
is on the north end of the property, across a span of pavement from
a grass island with a rather large statue of an elephant made of
fiberglass. In the near distance behind the island, the pool house
for the said pool, is adorned with distinct neon as well.

6. Specfic Description:
The facility fits into the typical
model of the roadside motel on this portion of the strip. An official
building sits on the north side of the property and precedes a span
of pavement centered with a pool, and backed by the flanking wings
of rooms. A pylon side is on the north end of the property, across
a span of pavement from a grass island with a rather large statue
of an elephant made of fiberglass. In the near distance behind the
island, the pool house for the said pool, is adorned with distinct
neon as well. The pylon sign is a tall vertical rectangle with a
large square internally lit cabinet in the center, a message cabinet
on top of the rectangle as well as a small LED screen between the
two. The large, double backed, internally lit cabinet, is bordered
on the faces with purple neon, which closes in the yellow and black
graphic text which advertises amenities for the motel. The cabinet
on top is a six sided, horizontal, diamond-esque shape, which is
double backed as well. The border of the surface of the sign is
created using incandescent bulbs. Diamond Inn is spelled on the
surface with two lined channel letter text. The letters are filled
with incandescent bulbs and bordered in blue neon. The pool's treatment
also utilizes the corresponding colors of purple and pink as well.
Along the roofs edge a glowing entablature is created using a top
border of purple neon as well as a bottom border of pink neon. Inside
the border seven pink and star shapes are crafted out of neon tubing.
They run horizontally across the length of the pediment, alternating
pink, then purple.
7. Type of Display:
neon, incandescent, backlit
8. Media: steel,
plastic, fiberglass
9. Non-neon treatments:
graphics
10. Animation:
chasing, oscillation
Notes: The
incandescent bulbs which border the logo cabinet chase each other
from left to right while the incandescent bulbs inside the channel
letters oscillate as well.
11. Environment:
The Glass Pool Inn resides
just to the north of the Diamond Inn. Boasting a newer, yet improperly
functioning pylon sign, the larger Diamond Inn property is one of
the more standout establishments in the area. Its expansive lot
and pink sculpture of an elephant make the Diamond Inn conspicuous. |
