In Las Vegas, when a hotel/casino is imploded, it's "dropped". Locals can demonstrate coolness by casual use of the word dropped in a sentence describing the implosion of a "property". To wit, "they dropped the Castaways". Cool.
Well, when a strip property is dropped, the sign is often left. No idea why. We love our signs, though.
But wait, it gets better. The sign in the background of the above picture, the one advertising the multi-billion-dollar high rise condo Turnberry Towers? Well, look below...
Yep. It's actually made of huge tarps covering the sign for the not droppped (it burned) El Rancho, the strip's very first resort!
I love this town.
