Long-Legged Cowgirl Neon Sign
A garish, approximately human‑sized neon sign in the shape of a stylized long‑legged cowgirl, mounted in the suite window as theatrical/exterior dressing. Bent glass tubing in saturated neon colors (variants reported as pink, cyan/turquoise, electric blue, amber/yellow) forms a silhouette—wide-brimmed hat, arm akimbo, long legs—backed by a metal frame and sometimes a mirrored panel; the fixture flickers and casts lurid, haloed light across curtains, upholstery and the uncovered skeleton. In-scene beats (Worf ripping back the drapes; crew faces catching the neon wash; Riker's phrase 'window dressing for a dead man') are consistent across sources and preserved here.

Purpose
To serve as decorative window dressing—a kitschy, Las Vegas–style hotel sign meant to create an artificial theme and visual spectacle for the suite.
Significance
Acts as the visual pivot that converts the room from surreal curiosity into damning evidence: the neon's manufactured cheer contrasts the preserved corpse, intensifying the moral shock and underlining the Royale's artifice and abandonment of real people.
