Eric Vozzola has given the old Ukulele Lounge a whole new look. The artist led a team on Friday in putting a mural on the lounge, which closed in 2008. The building is located at 620 Las Vegas Blvd. North.

The project is the first of a series of projects by the Cultural Corridor Coalition that hopes to introduce an artistic element to the neighborhood, enhance its image and discourage graffiti.
