6. Specfic Description:
The Las Vegas World Souvenir shop
and market, boasts a collection of signage, almost completely crafted
out of channel letters. The basic design is an entablature created
on the wall above a pedestrian's head. The entablature runs along
the south, east, and north faces of the building. The design is
essentially channel letter words separated by channel designed stars.
On the south wall the sequence reads, "star shape, 'drinks,'
star, 'souvenirs,' star then 'market'." The interior of the
star shapes are lined along the contours with yellow neon. The all
caps lettering has red neon tubing on the interior. The sequence
on the east side of the building reads from left to right, "
star shape, 'Souvenirs,' star shape, 'Las Vegas World,' star shape,
'drinks,' then another star shape." The words "souvenir"
and "drinks" are spelled in the same text and size as
the south side, while the phrase "Las Vegas World" is
larger fulfilling most of the height of the entablature. The north
side of the building is similar to that on the south. This side
reads , "Souvenirs, star shape, 'Market,' star shape, 'Film,'
and another star shape." On the wall below the pediment closed
face channel letters spell two phrases. The black channel letters
are faced with red translucent faces. The first phrase reads , "Daily
Grand Canyon Flights," in all caps. The second reads "Nightly
strip rides in all capitals.
