Random Vegas Hilton, at one time, had the tallest sign in Vegas at 362 feet tall, taller than the Landmark Hotel itself and only a few feet shy of the Hilton itself. On July 18, 1994, it was blown down by 70-80 mph high winds. Fortunately, no one was injured. The sign was rebuilt in 1997 but not nearly as tall at only 279 feet tall. This is the sign Westgate has to this day. @summacorp TwitPic of the week Do you realize how much Vegas history is in this one shot shared by @Summacorp? We’ll start with Circus Circus since it’s the easiest to orient yourself with. Here you can see her 5 fountains and carousel marquee as well. Next door you have Travel-lodge to the left, still there today, and Westward Ho on the right, not with us anymore. Across the street you have the Thunderbird, Algiers and Riviera. Today its Fontainebleau and a parking lot for the LVCVA. Beyond that we can see the International, the Convention Center and the Landmark. Today the International is the Westgate and the convention center is now so much bigger that it repurposed the Landmark parking lot into an extension of the convention center.
