The old letters of the Stardust were designed by Charles Bernard, whose company called the font "Jetison," though over the years people began referring to it as "atomic." These letters are the focal point of this composition. In the distance, you can glimpse the old Reed Whipple Cultural Art Center, which also no longer exists.

The Stardust Hotel and Casino, which opened in 1958, was one of the most iconic resorts on the Las Vegas Strip, known for its space-age theme and its stunning neon signage. The massive Stardust sign featured these "atomic" letters, symbolizing the era's fascination with space and the future. Over its nearly five-decade run, the Stardust became synonymous with Las Vegas' golden age, hosting top-notch entertainment and helping define the city’s neon glow. The hotel was eventually closed in 2006 and demolished in 2007, and the site is now home to Resorts World Las Vegas, a luxury hotel and entertainment complex that opened in 2021.
