About: Vegas Vic

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Vegas Vic is a neon sign portraying a cowboy which was erected on the exterior of The Pioneer Club in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in 1951. The sign was a departure in graphic design from typeface based neon signs, to the friendly and welcoming human form of a cowboy. The sign's human-like abilities of talking and waving its arm received an immediate acceptance as the unofficial welcoming sign, reproduced thousands of times over the years and all over the world. The sign can still be found (in disrepair) at 25 E Fremont Street, where it has been since 1951 on the exterior of what used to be The Pioneer Club but is currently a souvenir shop. The trademark is currently owned by Pioneer Hotel, Inc., which owns and operates the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall on the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nevad

dbo:abstract
  • Vegas Vic ist der inoffizielle, aber oft genutzte Name für ein beleuchtetes Wahrzeichen von Las Vegas, welches einen Cowboy darstellt. Er wurde 1951 entworfen und stand über dem in der Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas. Die (YESCO) konstruierte eine 23 Meter (75 Fuß) hohe Version von Vegas Vic, welche einen Cowboy in blauen Jeans mit einem gelb gefleckten Hemd darstellte. Er hatte einen beweglichen Arm mit einer Zigarette in der Hand sowie eine Stimme, die alle 15 Minuten „Howdy Partner“ sagte. Die Stimme wurde 1966 wieder abgeschaltet, als sich Lee Marvin über deren Lautstärke beschwert hatte. Als 1994 die Fremont Street Experience gebaut wurde, musste ein Teil seines Hutes entfernt werden, um Platz für das Dach zu machen. (de)

  • Vegas Vic är en 12 meter hög rörlig neonskylt som föreställer en cowboy. Den uppfördes på utsidan av kasinot i Las Vegas i USA 1951. Skylten avslutade traditionen med helt typsnittsbaserade ljusskyltar på stadens kasinon. Skylten är audiovisuell, den kan både prata och vifta med armen. Den blev uppskattad och fick snabbt inofficiell status som symbol för hela Las Vegas. Kasinot Pioneer Club lade ner verksamheten 1995 men plockade inte ner skylten. I lokalerna öppnade en souvenirbutik och skylten sitter kvar på samma plats på 25 E Fremont Street. I samband med att souvenirbutiken öppnade 1998 renoverades skylten. Varumärket ägs av Pioneer Hotel, Inc., som äger och driver Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall i , Nevada. Där finns en liknande skylt som kallas River Rick. Den sattes upp när dåvarande ägaren av Pioneer Club i Las Vegas köpte verksamheten i Laughlin. Den såldes senare till två olika intressenter. (sv)
