Would Googie architecture pay child support?

While not architecture in the usual sense, the famous Fabulous Las Vegas sign is a well known symbol of the Googie style.

When you go to The Neon Museum and you arrive early for your guided tour, you’re sent to the outdoor waiting area across the street from the visitors center, and the best part about this is having the opportunity to take some pictures of said visitors center: the lobby building of the La Concha Motel. Designed by Paul Williams who was one of the first prominent Black American architects in the United States, it’s a prime example of the Googie subgenre of the mid-century modern aesthetic. The owners of the motel actually left the lobby of the motel to the Neon Museum when it closed in 2004, and it was successfully moved in 2006.

The interior is faithfully restored, and it’s such a wonderful way to start off what will be a whirlwind 45-minute tour.

Here are the other photos from this session. These photos were taken on May 15th, 1966. (…Or, was that 2022?) Mid-Century brutalist concrete walls divide the units for privacy. However, they do have square openings, about six inches…

Gave The Solar Flare a facelift by changing it to more of a Googie architecture style and adding lots of bold colors and lights. Plan on giving all of Oasis Springs this kind of makeover
