Bygone Era

Bygone Era by Kenneth Clarke: This is an unframed gallery wrapped picture collage on canvas with a 3/4 inch full bleed picture boarder. It is 16 inches wide by 16 inches high. Retail price, $399.00; plus packing and shipping. Purchase information can be obtained by e-mailing me directly at kccandcj@yahoo.com. Background: I created the above collage from a series of photos that were taken at the Neon Museum's “Boneyard.” back in 2010.  The three-acre Neon Boneyard houses more than 150 historic, non-restored signs. It is home to some of the most treasured and world-famous signs of Las Vegas — Caesars Palace, Binions Horseshoe, Golden Nugget, Silver Slipper, and, most recently the Stardust. Each has been donated or loaned by individuals, businesses and sign companies.

Today, 13 refurbished signs can be visited on a self-guided walking tour 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in our outdoor downtown “gallery”. The gallery begins in front of the Neonopolis at Las Vegas Boulevard near the Hacienda Horse and Rider and includes the original Aladdin’s Lamp. All restored to their original condition, the gallery extends to the 3rd Street cul-de-sac adjacent to The Fremont Street Experience canopy and includes The Flame Restaurant, Chief Court Motel, Andy Anderson, The Red Barn, Wedding Information, Nevada Motel, and Dots Flowers and then down Las Vegas Blvd North to the Bow & Arrow, Silver Slipper and Binion’s Horseshoe.
