The "5" in this painting is from the Golden Nugget, representing the year 1905, when Las Vegas officially became a city. There’s a certain beauty in these broken, discarded signs, now cherished for the light they still manage to give, even in their decay. The metal structures—some standing, others twisted or fallen—evoke the image of rusting dinosaurs, relics of a time when they ruled the skyline. Their weathered forms are a testament to both the passage of time and the enduring spirit of Las Vegas.
