The beginning...
In keeping with the French flavor, waiters wore French Gendarme uniforms
A uniform that was repeated on some of the dice (scan courtesy of Rick Olsen)
The show was called the Tropi-Can-Can
The dancers...
Again, the theme was repeated on the dice, and some of the chips...
The end of the first incarnation of the Moulin Rouge...
During one of the Renovations, the tower was "capped" and a shingled overhang was added...
Sarann Knight Preddy was one of the owners and a passionate champion of the Moulin Rouge
We took this picture years ago, the Moulin Rouge was operating as an apartment building...I think the swimming pool was back between these buildings...
After the fire...
In May of this year, we peeked through the fence around the Neon Boneyard...we saw some of the letters from the Moulin Rouge sign. I hope they restore it and display it...
