让我们面对现实吧, 如果没有这些耸人听闻的招牌,拉斯维加斯就不是拉斯维加斯了, 如果没有那些有才华的人,我们就不会有我们的标志,他们构思和制作了许多现在在我们的墓地展出的著名标志. YESCO (Young Electric Sign Company)等标识公司, AD-ART and Federal Signs were the giants of the sign industry, responsible for shaping the Las Vegas skyline and taking the art of signage to new heights (literally). From cobbling together oversized shoes (seen here with the Sliver Slipper) to hanging twinkling atomic stars, 标志设计, electricians and fabricators are equal parts artist and engineer. The combined skills of these unsung heroes is what gives Vegas its trademark glow.

首席酒店法庭

首席酒店法庭

十大买球平台图片集

The 首席酒店法庭 was located on East Fremont Street, and this sign dated to ca.1940年是拉斯维加斯最古老的. This sign is an example of the romanticized imagery of Native Americans tied to the concept of the “Old West.” The 首席酒店法庭 sign design is believed to be appropriated from the Atchison, Topeka, 圣达菲铁路线和汽车. In 1939, Las Vegas into tapped this Western nostalgia for marketing itself as “Still a Frontier Town”. 老西部叙事在拉斯维加斯和首席酒店法院的扩散助长了刻板的美国原住民形象的延续,这种形象在美国各地的广告和运动队中仍然存在.

The sign depicts a stereotypical Plains Indian motif, not the local Paiutes. 这个标志无意中抹去了居住在该地区的土著居民的存在,取代了一种刻板印象. 拉斯维加斯派尤特人部落, 南派尤特人的祖先, lived on this land long before the founding of Las Vegas and continue to live on this land. 从那以后的几十年, the Las Vegas Paiutes have pursued financial success and the expansion of reservation acreage, first operating a tobacco business and in recent years a golf resort and marijuana dispensary.
