"FLOURISH", a Las Vegas Cultural
Corridor Urban Trail Sidewalk
Enhancement is a wayfinding
marker enhancement along 12
city blocks scheduled to be
installed in 2010.
Funded by the Southern Nevada
Public Lands Management Act
(SNPLMA) and the Las Vegas Arts
Commission, the Cultural
Corridor Urban Trail sidewalk
enhancements consist of 12 city
blocks of 25 repeating wings and
8 flourishes with their
corresponding logos. The
repeating wings reflect eddies
and swirls of what was once the
Las Vegas Creek which flowed in
this area and provided the
valley’s first settlers refreshment
and water for cultivation. The
wings suggest the valley’s
surrounding red earth and the
indigenous desert flora and
fauna. These vibrant way-
finding markers entice
pedestrians and vehicles to
follow the trail to each cultural
institution, identified by its
unique flourish celebrating its
logo, principles, qualities,
cultural personality, history and
purpose. These flourishes
herald Las Vegas’ desire to
further develop and celebrate its
cultural community and entities.
These embellishments provide
the grand gesture in the tradition
of iconic Las Vegas and are a nod
to the prevalence of this design
element in many historic neon
signs at the Neon Museum.
Beginning with the Old Mormon
Fort celebrating the endurance
and resourcefulness of its early
settlers and ending with the Las
Vegas Museum of Organized
Crime and Law Enforcement, this
trail is representative of the
intersection of human endeavor,
expression and survival in
relation to the desert
environment
