Suez Motel, Las Vegas Strip, 1954-'73.
Present site of The Park, 3782 Las Vegas Blvd S, at Park MGM.
The 25-unit motel opened in 1954 between the Desert Rose and Lone Palm motels. Erma and Everett Fream, and son Richard, were the owner/operators. They opened a coffee shop in front of the motel in the late 50s.
New ownership in the early 70s changed the name to American Inn. It was demolished in the late 70s. La Quinta Inn came and went in the 80s-00s. The Park was developed on the property in 2016.
We have no information about the animated hula girl neon sign. It was seen modified from its original form in the early 60s, and presumed gone after the change in name in '73.
