If you look above the crook in the backhoe arm, you can see the elbow of Vegas Vick. You can see a light show going on on the canopy, which houses 12 million LED lights. and looking down Fremont Street toward the Golden Nugget and Binions casinos. This photo was taken standing across Casino Center Blvd. Here is a wonderful backhoe, a couple of casinos, and a view of the canopy over the Fremont Street Experience. In 1994, Vegas Vick and Vicky were married in a ceremony during construction of the Fremont Street Experience, which is a pedestrian mall with canopy in downtown Las Vegas. She was restored and now resides in the Circa Resort and Casino, which opened in 2020 on the site of the demolished clubs and casinos. Vegas Vicky was removed from her perch in 2017 before the demolition of the Girls of Glitter Gulch, Mermaids Casino, La Bayou, and the Las Vegas Club. She was installed across from Vegas Vick above the Girls of Glitter Gulch strip club in 1980. This is Vegas Vicky (sometimes erroneously called “Sassy Sally). There are three more neon cowboys: Wendover Will at the Stateline Casino in Wendover on the Nevada/Utah border, River Rick at the Pioneer Hotel and Gambling Hall in Laughlin, and… Vegas Vicky This is Vegas Vic, a 40-foot high neon sign that was erected outside the Pioneer Club in 1951, which makes old Vic the same age as me.
