In reply to Brosius Eckstein. Less offended by the act than the misrepresentation of it. My tolerance for B.S. is at an all-time low.

In reply to FYMYAWF. Thanks. Yeah, don't care much about the tribute, but care a lot about companies treating people like they're idiots.

In reply to Brosius Eckstein. Not trying to answer for Scott but I think the point being made is the rest of the strip made the effort to pay a last tribute to a big (at least home-town) personality and Caesars, or at least the managers of the HR couldn't be bothered to join it (at best) and then lied about the reasons for it (at worst). No, it's not a ground-shaking scandal but it does bespeak a bit of underlying sleaziness, if nothing else.

In reply to AccessVegas. Well put @AccessVegas! Tark is and always will be a King in Vegas and deserves all the honors we can provide.

In reply to Scott Roeben. LOL... what?? For Vegas Locals (the people who build, work in, manage, and sometimes own those Strip casinos) Tark is a Legend. No way we weren't going to honor him in a BIG way. I think you greatly underestimate what he means to this community and sports fans worldwide.

Come on let’s be honest, it’s not like its a former president of the United States. Who could honestly be offended or find it disrespectful that A.) they didn’t dim the lights, and B.) they fibbed about it. Who cares!

In reply to AccessVegas. Meh. A simple look at the history of who the Strip's been dimmed for makes it clear it's not intended to be for local celebrities. It doesn't diminish the accomplishments of coach Tarkanian. Tarkanian is like the people honored at the Governors Awards dinner rather than on the Oscar telecast.

In reply to andybflo. Thanks so much for the insights! While I appreciate learning more about the details, ultimately, it was a misrepresentation to say FAA regulations mandated the wheel remain lit. Again, thanks so much for taking the time to share--you clearly know your stuff.

Scott; as a private pilot, you’re discussion points are right and wrong…

If a vertical obstruction is in a flight path, or somewhere in the landing pattern, and it’s outside of “standard” terrain (like a giant tower in the middle of nowhere, or a wheel significantly taller that surrounding buildings) the lighting guidelines are outlined in FAR 47-17.
Beyond that, here’s where it gets sticky. If an obstruction is lit and marked as so on an aviation sectional (as it would be), if you turn it off, you get sticky. Even if you change the type of illumination from the perimeter illumination that you have, to just flashing strobes on top, you have to notify the FAA and release a NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) regarding the change, type, and duration.

If I’m not mistaken, runways 1/19 are roughly parallel to the strip, and the wheel’s on approach. Even if they BS’d, and even if Tark deserved the honor (and he does), the prudent thing is/was to avoid the BS and red tape of issuing a temporary NOTAM on darkening the wheel on approach.

They BS’d, but.. They didn’t (probably) want to do the paperwork to darken a vertical obstruction. Don’t blame them.
Though I do blame them for the way they’ve maintained the Flaming-o and the Rio…
