Possibly the Strip’s ugliest architecture, the shop was built in the early ‘50s in front of the 8-unit Park Lane Motel (1940s), for which have no photos. With the addition of the shop and a new, 44-unit wing, the complex was renamed Carousel Motel from ‘53-‘73, and Sand Dunes Motel from ‘73 to the 90s. The original 8-unit wing was demolished in the 70s. Sand Dunes closed in the mid 90s and was demolished in the late 90s. The shop remained for a couple years into the new century. The exact location is now the Palazzo driveway.
