The most famous cowgirl in Las Vegas at home: Vegas Vickie is always ready to hop on her horse

Vegas Vickie, the 25-foot-tall neon cowgirl once stationed above the Girls of Glitter Gulch strip club, is now at home in the downtown Las Vegas Circa Resort & Casino's hotel lobby. Unveiled in 1980, Vickie was taken down from her original perch in 2017, when Glitter Gulch and other Fremont mainstays, including Mermaids Casino and the Las Vegas Club, were demolished to make way for Circa. She received a makeover from local electronics company Yesco, during which her dents were smoothed over, she got a fresh coat of paint, her neon appearance was adjusted for indoors, and a new leg motor was installed during outpatient surgery. She hangs outside of her namesake cocktail lounge at Circa; perhaps the idea is that she'll drink her troubles away after being separated from her spouse, Vegas Vic, who remains out on Fremont Street. The giant neon pair were "married" in 1994 to celebrate the creation of the Fremont Street Experience.
