LVA Question of the Day - 28 MAR 2006

Q: How old is Vegas Vic, the neon cowboy downtown? It must
be at least 40 years old, because I remember hearing a rumor
back in the sixties that some actor used Vic for target
practice with a shotgun from a hotel window across the
street. The rumor might not be true, but the sign apparently
was there then
