Zippy once visited the Lucky Cuss Motel, located at 3305 Fremont Street in Las Vegas. When I stopped by to see this sign, it looked different than like the picture in the Zippy strip. I talked to the owner and they said they had donated the sign in the comic strip to the
Neon Museum for restoration. After restoration, the museum placed the sign on the median strip of Las Vegas Boulevard North. Posted coordinates are for where the sign on the median strip is located.
This Zippy Sunday strip features four different motel signs, all in Las Vegas Nevada. Zippy and his friend Claude Funston have one of their regular unusual conversations. At the Lucky Cuss Claude tells Zippy that losing is the worst thing there is.
All four scenes in ths Zippy strip are in Las Vegas, Nevada.
