RESTORATION NEON
(1/60)

Close   

Documentary  TV-G

Think of neon signs and you think of Vegas. Perhaps more than any other city on the planet, the neon sign is integral to Las Vegas' aesthetic, economic and cultural history. The signs are icons that defined Las Vegas. They are spectacles signifying fantasy, fun and the kind of frontier freedom that has slipped away from so many other places in the American West. These are beacons — often of gigantic proportions — crafted with unparalleled vision and skill by unsung artistic innovators. Yet many of the signs are in danger of forever disappearing beneath the dust and rubble as old buildings and landmarks are demolished to make way for the new. Through archival photos and footage, RESTORATION NEON presents the history of the neon signs from their first usage in Las Vegas in the late 1920s to present day. The film also offers an inside look at what it takes to bring these luminous historic icons back to life.
