6. Specfic Description:
The Fatburger eatery is directly
north from Walgreen's in the same parking lot. It resides on the
east side of the strip. The entrance faces SW, mirroring the Walgreen's
entrance. It is a rounded storefront design with "Fatburger"
spelled in all capital, large, red, channel letters bordered in
red neon. The letters face outward and follow the same radius of
the entrance, creating a fascia effect with the size of the text.
They are filled with incandescent bulbs, which oscillate in a random
pattern. Open, red, channel letters, filled with red neon sit above
and below the large "Fatburger" text. Above the main sign
the letters read "open" and below they read "24 Hours".
At the north end of the west face of the building is a diamond shaped,
red, steel box with the "Fatburger" in silver channel
letters with yellow neon in the interior of the letters. The diamond
shape has a border of red neon on its face. Flanking the main entrance,
on the south and west face of the building in red steel channel
letters, with red translucent plastic faces, the phrase "The
last great hamburger stand" is spelled in all caps. They reside
approximately the same height on the building as the "24 Hours"
script on the main sign. Additional signage is located on the bottom
portion of the pylon sign designated for the "The Plaza."
Above the backlit cabinet is an arrangement of text and logo for
Fatburger. From left to right, "Fatburger" is spelled
in channel letters, the diamond logo is in the center of the sign,
then "Fatburger" is spelled again in yellow channel letters.
The channel letters are closed front with red translucent plastic.
The diamond is outlined in red neon.

Notes: The
incandescent bulbs which are present inside the main channel letters,

then shut off.
11. Environment:
The Fatburger eatery is in
a unique position, being a widely known property located in a conglomerate
of shops including such other well traveled properties such as Walgreen's
and McDonald's. In fact, the building is located exactly between
these locations. Walgreen's lies directly to the south, with McDonald's
to the north. The small stretch of properties is dwarfed by the
megalithic MGM further to the north, while the elaborate detail
of the New York New York resides west across Las Vegas Blvd. Once
a pedestrian passes the MGM, headed north, on the east-side of the
strip, the Fatburger does makes an lasting impression upon the passerby,
being the brightest of the three immediate company. |
