McKenna Ross, Las Vegas Review Journal Email, LinkedIn, and more New details on the Neon Museum’s planned relocation to the Arts District show museum operators are not only focused on the sign collection — they want to pack up and move the historic lobby building, too. Museum operators will ask the Centennial Commission for a roughly $2.1 million grant for the costs associated with relocating the La Concha Motel lobby, a hotel building built in the early days of the Strip that now acts as the museum’s lobby at 770 Las Vegas Boulevard North. The grant would be a portion of the expected $7.1 million costs associated with disassembling, relocating and reassembling the building, well known for its “Googie” architecture style. Source link
