So Now You Know

The free standing Las Vegas Hilton sign in front of the hotel on Paradise Avenue is the largest free standing sign in the world. The 279 foot tall, the sign boasts over six miles of neon and fluorescent lights, a total surface area of more than 70,000 square feet, and it's 40' thick. Think of a 70,000 Sq. Ft., four-story building on it's end. A larger sign that stood at the same location was blown down during a severe wind storm. While smaller then the original, the new sign is still the largest free standing sign in the world.
