* MORE NEON -- The Las Vegas City Council voted to quadruple the size of its previously one-piece Neon Museum. At Monday's meeting, the council approved a $10,000 allocation to rescue three more neon signs from the Young Electric Sign Co. graveyard and restore them as part of a display at the mouth of the Fremont Street Experience. Later this year they will join the Horse and Rider sign, which years ago stood in front of the Hacienda hotel-casino that was imploded New Year's Eve. The sign was erected alongside the downtown tourist attraction in September as the first restored piece of an art form some say is the essence of glittery Las Vegas. Three signs to be saved with the funds approved Monday are Aladdin's Lamp from the Aladdin hotel-casino on the south end of the Strip, the Fifth Street Liquor sign from a bar on Las Vegas Boulevard downtown and the Flame restaurant sign from the Strip at Desert Inn Road.
* OUTER LIMITS -- The Las Vegas City Council has passed two bills that will add nearly 14 acres to the city limits. The annexations of undeveloped Clark County lands will add 11.08 acres on the west side of Decatur Boulevard between Madre Mesa Drive and Roberta Lane and 2.61 acres on the southwest corner of Tioga Way and Delhi Avenue.
