I like to think this means that Michael Jordan and Joan Collins used the Little White Chapel to get married TO EACH OTHER.

Fence sections at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas – when the fence is closed, the crooks make hearts. Cute, no?

Well, this is sad.

In 2009, one of my friends and I took a trip to Las Vegas to photograph wedding chapels along the Strip. We did that, but we also shot plenty of photos of motels in the same area. And I suppose it’s a good thing we went when we did: many of the places we photographed have been since torn down, in the name – of course! – of progress.

The Yucca Motel is one of them. It was demolished in mid-2010. The sign was salvaged and now resides at the Las Vegas Neon Museum. As a matter of fact, the homepage of the museum’s website has a picture of this very same sign. I like my shot better. A lot better.
