Arby’s Classic Neon Hat sign was found on Decatur Blvd Near Meadows Lane
Another classic neon sign has been removed in Las Vegas and it’s not the flashy ones found on the Strip or on downtown. The old Arby’s location (store #592) on Decatur Blvd. near Meadows Lane has been shuttered and the classic ten-gallon neon hat sign now removed, but I caught a photo before it was removed.

The glitz, the glamor, and the money being pumped into the Las Vegas Sportsbooks are a far cry from the early days of back room sports gambling in Vegas. Frank Lefty Rosenthal was popularized in the movie Casino where he started off back east handicapping games and came out west to the worlds most glamorous town to make it even more glamorous.
What “Ace” did for the sportsbooks and casinos was truly amazing. The Riviera and Flamingo shined bright like Bugsy Siegel had dreamed it would. The crowds came in droves not only from southern California but from all over the country. Now days the new star of sports betting is the NFL handicapper who goes by the name of Jon Price from Sports Information Traders. This phenomenon has showcased that he can bring home stacks of money and turn sports gambling into sports investing. In a sense it’s a 180 of the mentality of the olden days of betting.

As long as the IP address says your in Las Vegas, Nevada then your able to place bets.

With experts like Jon Price who have been consistently delivering winning spread picks early in the season for the last 6 years predicts that this year will be no different and with his track record we believe it.

Blue Angel Motel Sign
The Blue Angel opened in 1956. The well known sign was designed by iconic Neon Designer Betty Willis. Betty who also designed the Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
