VEGAS WORLD illustration by Jack Dubois for AD ART

            This is actually from a postcard.  The back of the card reads:

The 1,012 foot Stratosphere Tower at Vegas World will dominate the skyline of the famous Las Vegas Strip.

In the words of Jack Dubois:

"I did a ginormous animated slot machine sign for the late Bob Stupak years ago (preceded the ginormous rocket ship we later built--my renderings for both are somewhere in Chuck's book). I don't think the slot machine was up and burning more than a few short years before the rocket came along and pushed it aside. For a while, his rocket was the tallest sign in town.
Stupak occupied a WHOLE other bigger-than-life category! His Stratosphere Tower (wasn't called that then), and a never-to-happen life-size Titanic replica, COMPLETE with iceberg, occupied a huge chunk of our time back then (I believe the ship was the hotel and the iceberg was to be the casino). He always had some totally wacky idea to promote and we unfailingly complied, usually with large watercolors and a lot of meetings. Every know and then we'd actually build one of his screwball ideas." 

Jack Dubois, sign designer and later art director for AD ART. Jack, if you cannot already tell, had a wicked sense of humor.
