It looks like the new owner of Fitzgeralds/The D is a little hard up for cash. Rather than donate the Fitzgeralds marquee to the Neon Museum, he’s liquidating the big display on eBay — and for a mere $25,000. At 10 feet tall and 30 feet long (complete with transformers) it should make a nice addition to the back yard of your house and I’m sorry it won’t annoy the neighbors one little bit, although your electric might spike just a titch. Just call “Dave” at 702-332-5566 and tell ’em S&G sent you. Or maybe you can still find it at Medusa’s Antiques, in one of the ritzier precincts of Downtown Vegas.
Correction: I’m informed that the Neon Museum rebuffed the offer of the marquee — too big even for them. They’ll always have the Fitzgeralds leprechaun in his little orb.
The Neon Museum was offered the sign but declined because of its size.
Thanks for setting me straight, Jimmy. Our “strike-through” command still isn’t working, so I’ve had to let the error stand but placed your correction on the S&G front page. I’m still wondering how the London Clubs marquee wound up on eBay but neither CityLife nor Desert Companion thought it an interesting yarn to pursue.
