LAS VEGAS —
When Frank Sinatra asked the goddess of luck to stay, the neon lights of one of the most famous high-rise signs in Las Vegas seemed to dance under the night sky, revealing a beating heart and the rest of a famous casinohotel.
In a large gravel lot surrounded by a safety wall, other rusty, dusty and broken neon signs seem to light up neon lights that have not been seen for decades, as other classic tunes play in the background.
However, these former sin city landmarks lack light bulbs and some of the rest are cracked or hung by wires.
They have not been restored or plugged into a power outlet.
Last week\'s augmented reality test showed many of the city\'s famous neon signs burning again.
Once attracted tourists to visit the forty neon lights of the most iconic casino in Las Vegas --
Starting Thursday night, hotels and other venues will shine again for the public at the Neon Museum, but none of the lights are really on.
Due to the projection mapping, an augmented reality created by projecting life, those unrepaired horse eyes that are worn by the beating sun and distorted by the desert wind are recovering to life
Like the digital animation of the logo on the huge metal.
Rob McCoy, president and CEO of Neon Museum, said: \"We have combined art, history and technology in this space . \".
He added: \"This is Las Vegas as before.
Very emotional.
Even if it is not living here, but people living around the United States or around the world, they have a romantic image about Las Vegas in their minds, usually in that retro style, neon hotels in Las Vegas

The minute immersive experience presented by sunset allows visitors to walk freely in the outdoor gallery, close to the logo.
Including the soundtrack of Elvis Presley\'s nightlife.
The chorus\'s Sandman and Ella Fitzgerald\'s \"I\'m starting to see the light\" play with each illuminated sign.
At 1893 World Expo in Chicago, neon lights were introduced to the United States.
But no city accepts glowing downlights like Las Vegas.
There are dozens now.
There are some retirement signs in the museum, but not all of them remain functional, allowing visitors to imagine what Marquis was like decades ago.
It can take tens of thousands of dollars to restore these signs, so using projection mappings to show how they used to be lit is a cheaper process.
Digital artist and designer Craig Winslow uses photos, drone videos and other references to digitally reproduce each logo, bulb through a bulb.
He then uses the scanning process to determine the exact location of the eight projectors to ensure that the content is aligned with the tubes of the bulbs, rusty metals, and signage.
\"Here are some moments where there are no bulbs, but I have created a digital bulb,\" Winslow said . \".
\"From a distance it looks like it\'s lit up.
You come a little closer and you\'ll realize that all of this is broken, or that the bulb is missing, or that the bulb is hanging.
When Binyon\'s Horseshoe flashes in the shade of gold and red, Dean Martin Cross says: \"I love Vegas.
At the same time, with the shining of Stardust letters, Presley\'s \"Viva Las Vegas\" exploded.
The historical footage of the gambling oasis will also be projected onto the sign, showing Liberace playing the piano and gamblers playing table games.
\"Whether they are driving, by train, by city, by plane, their eyes are wide open and they see Las Vegas at first sight,\" before the sign starts to light up, the historical narrative began to play.
\"A city whose head is surrounded by a wreath of neon signs, and another city is the western part of the story book. ”——
