      Is that a rotosphere up on top of the sign?

      Yep! It sure is!

      Does it - does this hotel, for that matter - still exist? It's a beauty.

      Unfortunately, the tower was taken down years ago. The hotel was imploded a couple of years ago.

      Thanks! I'm glad to see this image without the Roto-Sphere chopped off. I wonder what became of it. Do you think YESCO (or the Sign Museum) might have it shoved in some dark corner?

      I think it's brobably buried deep in the Las Vegas dump. I'll ask around...you never know!

      Looks a lot more festive than Atlantic City's Showboat. They may as well just call it the House of Blues Hotel & Casino now. The theme of Mardi Gras is slowly filtering out, sadly. However, I'll be staying there soon. :)

      That rotosphere is cool!
