 In order to make the signs for the minature Los Vegas scenes work,  neon artists Larry Albright and Bill Concannon needed to develop a  process for making neon signs where the tubing was 2mm in diameter.  (By comparison, most neon signage is between 8mm and 25mm, where  most of the tubing on the Las Vegas strip is 18mm.) Custom  glassblowing burners, electrodes, and other hardware needed to be  fabricated from scratch. Amazingly enough, many of the pieces  produced still work today.
