The "H" Wall
Created in 1962 by architects Wayne McCallister and William Wagner and YESCO design staff. The three-story concave panel of interlocking neon "H" elements formed the corner bullnose for the casino's façade on Fremont Street. At the time, the Horseshoe façade claimed to be the largest use of neon worldwide, with more than 8 miles of tubing.
The "H" wall was sponsored and restored with funding provided by the Robert S. and Dorothy J. Keyser Foundation.
Erected by The Neon Museum.
