Chronology
| 1961 | The shell is built at 2955 Las Vegas Boulevard South as the Lobby for the La Concha Motel. The architect is Paul Revere Williams. |
|---|---|
| 2004 | The La Concha Motel closes. |
| 2005 | While the actual hospitality buildings of the La Concha motel are torn down, the lobby serves as sales office for the Majustic condominiums (this project was cancelled in 2007). The shell is donated by the Doumani family to the Neon Museum and after sufficient money is raised for the relocation, the shell is cut up into eight pieces and then transported to its new location at 770 Las Vegas Boulevard North and rebuilt there. |
