The serifs and swirls of fonts on The Strip were the standard—letters trying to kick up their heels like the dancers of the Folies Bergere. They sparkled and shimmered, keeping pace with the dazzling spectacle of Las Vegas. In this painting, the signage from the Golden Nugget captures that same energy, its ornate lettering a reflection of the showmanship that defined the era. These signs weren’t just markers—they were performers in their own right, lighting up the desert with their brilliance.
