There are various elements on the street representing a homage to Las Vegas’ history with atomic power and the formerly named Nevada Test Site outside of the city that conducted atomic bomb testing in the 1950s. The main portion of the memorial consists of a concrete bench-like edifice partially decorated with textured stone. At the top of the project there is an opening apparently meant for a flower bed, although no flowers are present as of this writing. The entire set piece is painted white with occasional black diamond-shaped enhancements. A silver-colored plaque with embossed silver lettering is embedded. The silver-on-silver makes it difficult to read. The plaque is also located at the very bottom of the piece, again making it difficult to read unless one gets on their hands and knees, and even then it is exceedingly difficult to decipher the wording. But for the record, it reads, “‘Atomic Passage’ is the first public art project in the history of the city of Las Vegas where artists’ concepts have been integrated into the engineering infrastructure of a Public Works streetscape enhancement. The atomic stars and benches you see along Casino Center are works of art that embrace and reference the city of Las Vegas atomic design history and its rocky desert landscape. City of Las Vegas Atomic Passage Dedicated May 1, 2009. [The City Seal and names of City Councilmen, City appointees, and City Arts Commission are listed.]”
