Cupid Wedding Chapel, 1515 Las Vegas Blvd S – 60s, 70s, 80s

The ‘30s-era Cal-Neva Auto Court Motel opened a small chapel on the premises in the late 50s. In the 60s, they moved the chapel into the main building of the motel complex. The motel closed in the 70s, and the chapel continued business.

The chapel was demolished in ‘91 and replaced with a parking area for Olympic Garden cabaret. In the early 90s, the heart-shaped neon sign seen in the top photo was repurposed for the club.
