If it's the place I'm thinking of it is NORTH of the original T-Bird on the strip, the same side.
A friend who used to go on the Vegas World packages was "bumped" from Stupak's place and put up at this motel one time. From what he's told me, there used to be a display in the lobby with all kinds of T-bird memoribilia from the original. I also remember him telling me that the owner of this place was at one time a "partner" in the original thus the display. I can't verify if the story is true or not.
