6. Specfic Description:
The Polo Towers lies Just north
of the McDonalds plaza, along with a shopping plaza out front near
the street. The plaza has a different name, this is designated by
the polo towers pylon facing north/south on the east side of the
street. The Pylon sign for the polo towers sits in this parking
lot for this plaza. The pylon consists of a double backed backlit
plastic message cabinet, a color LED matrix screen, two square message
boxes on either side, one diamond shaped one then the marquee and
logo for the polo towers. On the bottom of the sign, on the side
closest to Las Vegas Blvd., a clear plastic front, diamond shaped
message center reads "polo tourist center" behind the
glass. A bulb laden center pole is noticeable at the bottom along
with two larger legs on either side. The text is painted in red
and then overlaid with red neon. Just above that, a light blue,
backlit message center, boasts a white plastic surface with purple
text. Incandescent bulbs border the edges of the cabinet. Directly
above this is a color LED screen. The center-pole continues up past
the message center, eventually transforming into a diamond shaped
cabinet. On either side of the center pole, just above the LED screen
are two smaller, square, message cabinets. They too are painted
the same light blue as the large cabinet, as well as possessing
incandescent bulb raceways as borders. One contains the Polo Towers
logo of the silhouetted horse's head, with the text "Polo Towers
Tourist Center," in black and purple. The other reads text
or free maps and discount show tickets. From the tops of these cabinets,
two sections reach upwards following the bottom edges of the diamond
created out of the center pole. These two angled sections are both
striped with a repeating series of red neon along their width. The
previously mentioned center pole is flat, with the face laden with
incandescent bulbs. This flat front pole continues up to form a
diamond, with the actual pole section running along the bottom edge
of the diamond, between the neon laden angled sections, and the
marquee cabinet. The continuation of the pole, extends to run along
the top of the diamond, but stops short of totally enclosing it.
The incandescent bulbs cover the face of the pole along this edge
also. Red neon tubing runs up the edges of this centerpiece. The
top cabinet, which the centerpiece seems to he holding, is also
painted light blue, with a purple face, and the black horse silhouette
logo for the Polo towers. Two pieces of red neon are bent to act
as glowing pieces of the horse's mane. Just below the top image
of the horse, "Polo Towers" is spelled, floating above
the surface of the sign in purple, channel letters. Below that in
purple channel letters, on the same plane, the text "&
Plaza" is crafted in the same fashion. Both rows of text are
filled with incandescent bulbs that oscillate. The surface of the
body of the sign, excluding the cabinets, is finished in stucco
and laced with the smatterings of the lavender and light blue hue
found throughout the sign. The building of the Polo Towers itself
has pieces of purple vertical neon running up the edges of the building
in several places. The radius section on the east west faces of
the tower is also lined purple across its vertical edges. Giant
purple channel letters spell Polo Towers across the very top of
the building's West face. On the North and South faces of the tower,
the giant diamond shaped cabinets with the Polo Towers logo hang
with steady confidence. At the base of the west side of the building,
there is also the internally lit, diamond shaped cabinets with the
horse's head, rendered in black/ the white cabinets are bordered
with a hot pink colored neo, recessed behind the polished metal,
to create a halo on the wall.
