La Concha Motel lobby preserved as Neon Museum Visitor Center

The futuristic-conch-shaped lobby of the La Concha Motel, a midcentury motel that once stood on the Strip, was salvaged and relocated to serve as the Neon Museum's Visitor Center on Las Vegas Boulevard North. The relocation and adaptive reuse of the lobby is documented in local preservation reports and the museum's history. Locals often point to the preserved lobby as a tongue-in-cheek example of Las Vegas saving a piece of its own kitsch for display.
