Vic

Back in 1951, “Vegas Vic” used to be an animated neon sign over the Pioneer Club casino, telling people “Here it is!” At $25,000, it was the most expensive sign in Las Vegas and it is still is the largest mechanical neon sign in the world. Vegas Vic had a waving arm and a moving cigarette which blew smoke rings. He also had a voicebox that enabled him to exclaim “Howdy Pardner”. Vic became a symbol for Las Vegas and the infamous Glitter Gulch area of downtown.
