A row of red brick units with white roofs at Las Gables Court, a motor court at 13th and Fremont Streets in Las Vegas. Cars are parked in front, and a sign reading "Las Gables Court" stands against a colorful sky. By the early 1950s, motor courts like this served auto travelers on the highways into Las Vegas, offering an alternative to downtown hotels.
