Vintage neon signs to be displayed in Las Vegas
Neon signs from Las Vegas’ yesteryear will once more adorn Las Vegas Boulevard.
About 17 signs, some from casinos dating to the 1950s, will be part of the boulevard’s Scenic Byways Plan, said Danielle Kelly, operations manager for the Neon Museum, which is providing the signs.
The signs — including the horseshoe that once topped Binion’s Horseshoe casino and the slipper from the Silver Slipper next to the New Frontier casino — recall earlier years of the city that grew out of the desert to become America’s gambling mecca.
EC approves Lufthansa-Austrian merger; LH to reduce flights to/from Vienna
The European Commission agreed to the merger of Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines on Friday after Lufthansa agreed to reduce service between five European cities and Vienna.
Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes said, “This case shows that consolidation in the airline sector is possible with proper remedies to safeguard consumers’ interests.” The EC said LH’s antitrust “remedies package” includes a commitment to relinquish slots, “according to an efficient and timely slot allocation mechanism,” that will increase competition, “namely [on] the routes from Vienna to Frankfurt, Munich, Stuttgart, Cologne and Brussels.”
Think local for a low-cost wine-tasting trip
Just because you don’t live near Napa Valley doesn’t mean you can’t visit some of the best wineries this Labor Day weekend. Almost every state in the US has at least one winery that you can visit.
The Midwest states have traditionally been agriculture centers. Now many farms are trading potatoes and corn for grapes, and opening their doors to tourists. Illinois is home to around 80 wineries located on six wine trails within a few hours of Chicago. Most of Michigan’s 50 or so wineries are located in the west and southwest, near Traverse City or along the coast of Lake Michigan. Even Missouri has five wine trails scattered around the state.
Today’s edition of Gadling also has other articles for going on a wine tasting adventure.
