Sign owner: Laura and Doris Atchinson

Sign-specific description: This pole sign sits along Las Vegas Boulevard and is extremely visible for motorist and pedestrians. A black rectangular pole supports the two portions that make up this sign. The top portion is a wide rectangular shape and both sides of the sign have the same design on them. Each side has a red background with the word "Stateside" in white script open cabinet letters along the top of it. Under this is a plastic backlit sign in the shape of the state of Nevada. The words "JUST ONE MORE" in bold red text are in the in the middle of the Nevada sign as well as an illustration of a foamy glass of beer. Under this is the word "Lounge" in white script open cabinet letters. Surrounding the outside of this sign is a line of incandescent light bulbs that chase. Under this sign is a fairly large backlit message board.

Sign environment: This bar sits very close to Cashman Field and is just north of the Cultural Corridor. It is down the street from the Las Vegas Library, the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and the Neon Museum. It is also just down the road from Fremont Street.
Sign - thematic influences: Since the bar is called "Stateside Lounge," featuring the state of Nevada emphasizes the theme of the bar. Also, the illustration of the beer and the "Just One More" on the sign articulate that the property is a bar.
Sign - artistic significance: This sign is fairly minimal, but has a few striking details that make it unique compared to other bars throughout the city. Featuring the shape of the state of Nevada lets people know that this sign is a nod to the bar's home state. Also, the "Just One More" text in the center of the Nevada shape as well as the illustration of the beer make the property seem very welcoming and like somewhere you wound wants to spend time at.
