This sign has no neon per se, but is of the 1960s era, and displays the long curved arrow that is typical of the time and often accompanied a neon sign back in the day. Simple two stage multicache. Stage I is on a one-way road, so as you leave Stage I note that you need to bear right after leaving the parking lot, and curve around under the overpass to get to stage II.
On the brown base of the sign there is a little sign with a ten digit security company phone number. Use these numbers to figure the final coordinates.
N 32 11. A B 4
W 110 57. C D 7
A= 2nd digit in phone #
B= 2nd digit in phone #, plus one
C= 9th digit in phone #
D= last digit in phone #
