More about Diamond Inn Motel:

What else do you expect to see in a town where so much drinking and carousing is done? Pink elephants staight out of Dumbo of course! This 1953 roadside motel has a life sized Pink Elephant in front (circa 1990s?). This is a postwar motel typical the roadside motels on this south side of the Strip. The fiberglass elephant however is something else!
