    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MEDIA CONTACTS: Marina Nicola/Erika Pope Vox Solid Communications [email protected], [email protected] (702) 586-2137, (702) 249-2977 THE NEON MUSEUM RECOGNIZED BY THE CITY OF THE LAS VEGAS FOR FOSTERING SUSTAINABILITY, LIVABILITY Mayor’s Urban Design Awards Announced During Annual State of The City Address LAS VEGAS (2013) – Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman recognized The Neon Museum, as one of the city’s Mayor’s Urban Design Awards (MUDA) winners at the annual State of the City Address. Each of the four winning projects fosters the city’s commitment to sustainability and livability. The Museum was recognized in the category for Historic Preservation and Adaptive Reuse. As the City of Las Vegas notes: “The Neon Museum, located on the Las Vegas Boulevard Scenic Byway at McWilliams Avenue, is a unique open air museum for the neon art form. The 1961 La Concha Motel Lobby, significant for its distinctive Mid- Century Modern design, rare poured-concrete engineering and its designer, renowned African-American architect Paul Revere Williams, was moved from the south Strip to its current location to serve as the museum visitors center. Just as the neon sign is an Expressionist form, the historic La Concha lobby carries an Expressionist root in architectural expression, while preserving the historic building.” To qualify for the Mayor’s Urban Design Awards, projects must be located within city limits and achieve significant impact through cultivating walkways and streets that are shared public spaces, promoting safety, conserving resources, preserving historic buildings and places, seamlessly linking to their surroundings and being pedestrian friendly.
