Being a fan of Las Vegas history, years ago I went to the Blue Angel Motel at the corner of Fremont and Charleston to get a photo of the Blue Angel on her pedestal above the motel. The angel was designed by Betty Willis, the designer of the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign.
Ne10 is a location of the Neon Museum for events and there's a section that warehouses extra signs that can't all fit in the Neon Museum on the Boulevard. angel is being housed.
For a limited time, the Blue Angel is on display in the Ne10 warehouse area. There's a film about the statue and you can see the statue up close. A bonus are a bunch of old signs from closed resorts and shows.
Tips: 1) There is no charge; 2) If you look at the photo with the Ne10 sign and you want to see the Blue Angel, turn around and look to your left. You'll see the entrance to the warehouse area where the angel is being housed. If you forget, there's a sign on the window telling you to do just that; 3) The display is open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only.
Go see some Las Vegas history. The Blue Angel will be back. After this showing, she will be restored to her former good looking self. Keep in mind that when the statue was put up in the late 1950s, there were those who thought she was too buxom. It seems funny today. read more
