Though the Neon Museum has yet to be built, fans of old Las Vegas style and culture can now picture what the lobby will look like. When the Neon Museum finally is open, visitors will enter the outdoor museum through the salvaged lobby of the La Concha motel.

The Las Vegas City Council voted to add the 1961 Googie-style structure to its Historic Property Register on Aug. 1. In 2006, the lobby -- the only part of the motel left standing -- was moved from its first home on the Las Vegas Strip to the Neon Boneyard, future site of the Neon Museum.
