Desert Inn Motel, Boulder City.
On our travels I have often made an unscheduled stop, so I can grab a few shots. In this instance we'd just visited the Hoover Dam and were on our way back to Vegas.
So we parked up in Boulder City. There's a couple of motels and a diner in the bottom right of this pic, that looked interesting to me. So I took a wander, camera in hand and here's the Desert Inn motel sign, back in 2011.
The sign was blown down a year later. There was some talk of it being fixed but it's gone now.
This motel was originally the Black Canyon motel and is now the Boulder City motel. It appears closed at present.
I'm always mindful when taking pics of motels. Some of the clientele may not appreciate someone with a camera!
I was trying to take a pic of the Liberty Motel in upstate New York, when a whole load of police cars came swooping in for a massive drugs bust! I didn't hang around for long.
Below is the other shot I took and posted ages ago.
