I am sorry for posting so much so fast but there really was nothing as cool as Vegas growing, and being here to see it. And I dont mean from strip to MEGA strip. Or dirt roads to one lane paved roads. Im talking about previously condemned buildings to the STRIP. It has today, become a major, MEGATROPOLIS. That being said, I have a special place in my heart for this photo. The Hilton, (where I worked at the time) was re-inventing itself to compete with the big boys. Wynn properties, Harrahs, and Caesars. So they decided to erect this huge sign. Right before completion some gusty winds,(I recall around 70mph) ripped it down into a crumpled mess. I was having a break at the back side of the hotel and was inundated with dust and small debris. After investigating the enormous crash sound, it was evident that the sign had been destroyed. I retrieved a piece of plaster, and went back to work. I guess go big or go home does not include sign building.
