Description :
USA: Nevada: Clark County: Las Vegas: Vegas Vic, close up of the world famous 40 foot Neon Cowboy glowing outside The Pioneer Club along Fremont Street, Downtown Las Vegas, standing as a symbol of the heyday of old Las Vegas. Best remembered for its gigantic waving cowboy sign dubbed Vegas Vic. He was created by Salt Lake City graphic artist Partrick Denner. His artwork of a cowboy in blue jeans with a yellow-checked shirt and red bandanna was used by YESCO to build the 60' signs. Vic was the first of the three cowboys and went up in 1951 at a cost of $25,000. At the time, it was one of the most expensive signs in Las Vegas and it is still is the largest mechanical neon sign in the world. He has recently been restored & now greets visitors under the Fremont Street Experience canopy.
