Never-Before-Seen Photos of the Glory Days of Las Vegas

Vegas Vic

You’ve probably seen this large neon cowboy many times in movies and on TV. His name is Vegas Vic and he was part of the sign for the Pioneer Club, a casino and cocktail bar on the Las Vegas strip that opened in 1942. The famous neon sign changed the Las Vegas landscape forever when it was erected in 1951 and has stayed there to this day, even though the casino closed in 1995. Restored today, tourists can still get their photo with this famous guy.
