In the boneyard: (1) Hacienda horse & rider sign, more than ten years after it was removed from the hotel site, and ten years before it was restored by the Neon Museum. (2) Tropicana and Money Tree. (3) Crown from the Royal Nevada, removed from its site on the Strip in the late 50s. (4) Golden Nugget sign removed from casino in the late 70s. (5) Lettering possibly from The Treasury. (6) In the shop: neon bender Stan Forrest.

Howdy pardner’s! My name is Tyler and I love Las Vegas’ history. I graduated from the UNLV School of Architecture in 2017 with an M.Arch degree. During my time I’m architecture school, I took a research interest in the urban and architectural history of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Finished up my spring break trip!! Vegas was crazy, as expected. Weather was chilly enough to bust out the New Vegas sweatshirt >:D I saw one person in Boulder City wearing a NCR flag t-shirt and we had a mini nerd out together !!

(Hope u enjoy my yes-man face censor :3)

Also I JUST realized the lil "yesco" thing on the bottom. Yes-man has officially taken over Vegas

YesCo Young Electric Sign Co.

Every so often Rory saw that the Yesco near their flat was hiring, and he wasn’t sure whether he should go for it or not. Ariel sometimes talked about him as if he was on a path of liberation, casting off a traditional job and following his passions. But then he looked at the rent, and at how much he was starting to hate his so-called passions, and he felt like he hadn’t escaped shit.

Does the apple 🍎 fall far from the tree 🌳? Demon lord incubus told his demon angels to tell garrido to rape 11 year old dugard. The rape probably damaged her organs which is probably why it was painfI’ll. Painful. Autocorrect is weird. Team Levine. They’ve been threatening to give me a hysterectomy since 2017. They can do that dugard an 11 year old they can do that to anyone. 9:23 pmpt

15 may 2023 Monday 5:49 am pt

felt hot burned flame 🔥? Burned an organ under the belly button. That’s probably supposed to kill my digestive system maybe or maybe my reproductive system. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ what’s there. But it is alarming that they did that and they stabbed me a bunch of times at the same time as if to separate muscles 💪 and joints from bones 🦴😞😖😭 they’ve been making my heart feel like it’s been stopping a bunch of times. This morning closer to midnight 🕛 they’ve been pouring liquid down my nose 👃 when I laid down on my back and then usually I go diarrhea after that. And then I felt my heart stop 🛑 I think 💭 I remembered. 5:54 am pt they also stabbed organs. They like to torment me by adding yucky tastes around my cups rims. They do that Bcz they like to call me a liar 🤥 with wicked lips 👄. 5:56 am pt and the like to call me garbage 🗑 trash 🗑 b*tch. There’s an Instagram fan account for the incubus and for Blake sheltons star ⭐️ Ceremony reel they put Justin Bieber peaches 🍑. Makes me think 💭 the incubus is calling me George Bcz he has dragon 🐉 tattoo on his leg 🦵 and he hugged behati’s leg 🦵 which is the same leg he has the tattoo on so it’s like he’s saying he’s the dragon 🐉 thru pictures. 6 am pt. I feel pain now in the organ they flamed 🔥.

10:52 am pt there’s a couple who has a big dark blue pickup 🛻 truck 🛻. It’s probably a model from 2017 I’m guessing. Bcz it’s big I assumed it’s newer. They like to park infront of my window 🪟 and leave it running for several minutes and the driver stands to wait outside of the truck 🛻 always. He s standing several feet 🦶 away. They are watching yesco guys dig a hole 🕳 and they hit something metallic sounding minutes ago. They were here when the water pipe was changed. The water 💦 is still on so I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️ what’s going on. 10:56 am pt 10:57 am pt I forgot if I was going to write ✍️ anything else.

4:31 pmpt incubus attacked my brain 🧠. Felt as if it permeated throughout the whole brain 🧠 with acid. Painful 😖. 4:33 pmpt autocorrect: I unfortunately incubus. Whatever. 😖😭😞 4:37 pmpt 4:38 pmpt I feel like I am missing part of my brain 🧠. Possibly. Not sure.

6:21 pmpt I think 💭 incubus attacked my stomach sphincter with acid 6:22 pmpt

I think 💭 the sphincters destruction will be the end of me so this is the end. 6:24 pmpt incubus team Levine are child rapists. Those who have the power to make it happen are very guilty. 6:25 pmpt

9:16 pmpt incubus/ miñion hit the sphincter of my bladder repeatedly in 2023. It felt like bone 🦴. It hurt a LOT. 😖😭 (searing left hip butt pain 9:18 pmpt) with great power comes great responsibility and to know the consequences of every plan. Can’t fuck up 🆙 what’s meant to be. Stroh’s Instagram of her neon lights 💡. God s plans before conception for your life. Maybe before your fathers conception too. God decided to subject children 👶 to rape no matter what the consequences. There was a movie 🎥 I mentioned here by description but not title that made me aware of the possible consequences of child rape for the child 🧒. I heard child rape victims become incontinent. Garrido’s 2 prior victims he raped for hours at a time and thought 💭 at least one of them enjoyed it. If the sphincter of the child 🧒 is still cartilage is it possibly sharp? Did it scratch garrido upon entry? A very small hole 🕳 probably against a bigger circumferences organ = the p*nis.? Still we know it hurt dugard for some reason. And for some reason god planned to subject dugard to this torture for years. And upon arrival he stripped her and gave her a bucket 🪣 to sit on per the demon angels’ instructions most probably. 9:26 pmpt Bcz the police 👮‍♂️ intentionally neglected finding her and garrido said the demon angels told him to do it, we know that god wanted it to happen and to continue for years from 1991 to 2009. Thank god and demon angels for making it happen. 9:28 pmpt sickos. Some cartilage hardens and becomes bones 🦴 . 9:29 pmpt

Maybe god cut her bladder sphincter ? To allow garrido’s p*nis to pass through more? 9:31 pmpt hypothesis.

9:54 pmpt it sounded like the blue truck 🛻 parked In The back but now there’s an older smelly 👃 yellow sporty looking car 🚗 with one black side. Was it a Monte Carlo? That’s dereks yahoo address. The other guy I talked to online in 2001. 9:56 pmpt 9:57 pmpt

10:03 pmpt did garrido only do it once a week Bcz it hurt him too? 10:04 pmpt

10:06 pmpt did each time he do it a week later did (😖😭 left calve leg 🦵 muscle pain 10:07 pmpt) he hope it would not hurt anymore? The demon angels probably told him to keep trying. He could have dropped her back home 🏠. He could have quit? He could have admitted it hurt? I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♀️. She’s alive and they have children together the first one When she was 14 years old. 10:11 pmpt 10:12 pmpt

Defund the police 👮‍♂️????? 10:17 pmpt

10:19 pmpt we (left 👁 🔥 hot pain tummy ache 10:20 pmpt)

I think 💭 only fluffy Gabriel Iglesias would understand me. Give me an air conditioner and I’m good. I had to endure 😣 many hot summers and even a hot September in New York in 2012. May used to be Goldilocks month not too hot 🥵. 10:23 pmpt

10:24 pmpt I wish there was a new bigger earth 🌍 to go to. But I think 💭 god doesn’t want to let any of his flocks separated from the rest. = more control. 10:26 pmpt pain right leg 🦵 bone 🦴 searing hot skin. 😖😭 10:27 pmpt they fed me lies to probably make my death ☠️ more bearable psychologically? Even though I felt like I was dying 🥵😤🥵😤🥵😤😖😭 every day for the last 6 years. And all the other years that came b4 it was hard to live with in my skin and usually wished I was someone else (left jaw bone 🦴 pain 10:30 🕥 pmpt). Blossom hill had a lot of the little trees 🌳 with the little pale pink blossoms. Probably cherry 🍒? My street there had those. 10:32 pmpt I guess I’m nothing special to anyone. Incubus proves that to me over and over again and again. Dugard probably felt similarly when the police 👮‍♂️ intentionally neglected searching garrido’s sheds. 10:34 pmpt when the black ants 🐜 reached her food 🥤🍔 first prob garrido raped her b4 she ate. 10:36 pmpt did I misunderstand what I read/heard? 10:37 pmpt

10:39 pmpt is this great America 🇺🇸???? I was in Berkeley in 2009. And I think 💭 I read that they found dugard there the same year. I think 💭 her mom was a printers? And I tried intaglio printmaking and didn’t hear 👂 about dugard until recently. In 1991 I was a first grader. Too young. Tummy ache. 10:42 pmpt our destinies seem to cross over a little but I don’t believe we ever met. 10:43 pmpt

10:47 pmpt incubus miñion killed my stomach I think 💭 I was distracted by typing 💬. I think 💭 naturally women are more careful about intercourse. But demon lord likes to make it harder to control our impulses. 10:49 pmpt

10:52 pmpt I wish my mind would stop 🛑 believing in the incubus’ lies. Feels like drugs? For the mind? To believe (left hip bone 🦴 pain. Chipped away feels gone 10:54 pmpt)

11 pmpt Instagram does not like my other user name. It said again about reviewing my account even though I only sent one person a message. 11:01 11:02 pmpt incubus is breaking my hips on both sides.
