Built in 1952, Fun City Motel is a classic Las Vegas motel formerly called the Glenn Vegas Motel. While Fun City Motel is more known for its affordability than its glamour, it does provide a rather interesting backdrop and is a popular location for many photo shoots, including an early promotional photo shoot for the local Las Vegas rock band, The Killers (check out a photo here).

Located across from the Stratosphere Casino on S Las Vegas Blvd, Fun City Motel is a retro filming location full of color and character. It features 92 rooms and a unique pink exterior.
