Random Vegas
Vegas has been attempting to go smoke free since the early 90s. The first casino to ban cigarette smoking was at Silver City Casino in 1991.
Vegas Pic of the week
It was the original mega sign. Not quite a super pylon but big enough that it was a statement piece. The champaign tower at Flamingo, shared by @_GrandPaD, stood as a beacon for the property for years while she was a low-rise building. The cylindrical structure lit up at night with glowing bubbles that cresecendoed into the revolving name of the property at the top. Sadly it was removed by Kirk Kerkorian who decided to push the property closer to the road to pull in more foot traffic. It was replaced in 1968 with the iconic super pylon known as the Flamingo plumb signage.
