"Through Judy Natal's photographs, the Neon Boneyard becomes a dynamic archaeological site that interweaves Vegas's past and present in startling ways. The towering figure of Mr. O'Lucky becomes a home for the homeless, while the crumpled sign of a wedding chapel reflects the faded dreams of a lost paradise. Through such juxtapositions of success and failure, of past and present, Neon Boneyard: Las Vegas A-Z returns us to an earlier image of Vegas, suffused with the warm, commercial glow of neon, lighting the desert and inventing modern nightlife."--BOOK JACKET.
