Staring up from what looks like a neon sign graveyard in Las Vegas is this giant Pirate Skull. Aaaar!

I’m guessing this is a disused prop from Treasure Island Casino, where they have a regular pirate show out the front.

The Statue of Liberty was, as we all know, donated to America by the country of France and stands as a welcome to all returning Americans, visitors, and immigrants. She stands at just 151 feet tall and as everyone says looks really small in real life.

There’s smaller scale copies of Ms. Liberty all over the place including France’s very own copy which stands facing West to her larger sister.

The suburb of Mountain Brook, Alabama has a 1/5 size Statue of Liberty, whose flame is actually lit with Alabama natural gas.

And there’s a copy of everything in Las Vegas, so of course they’ve got a 1/2 size Liberty Statue outside the New York, New York Casino.

More replicas, and a long list of movie appearances on Wikipedia.

Near the site of the previously posted Black Rock City (Burning Man), someone has taken the time to write Jackie’s name with the tracks of their car – and there’s also a heart there for her too. Awww, isn’t it sick-making?

Mind you, at least it’s imaginative – unlike whoever just drew some random squiggles.

Thanks to Hapto and William.

The Las Vegas motor Speedway complex consists of a 1.5-mile super-speedway, 2.5 mile road course, 1/2-mile dirt oval, drag strip, go-kart track and a racing school. And even better, its got a giant ‘Las Vegas’ written in the middle!

This is the site of Black Rock City, which is built and torn down every year for the week long annual Burning Man festival.

Chach says:

Looks like this was flown shortly before the festival.. the street grid and intial construction of some core buildings is underway
