Projects: Giant LV Strip Board Framed By Virtual Roman Columns

I don’t think I’ve seen an LED marquee quite like this – a very tall roadside slab that has the curves of three-dimensional Roman columns on each side, wrapped in LED. It’s an 85-foot tall 10mm sign along the Las Vegas Strip, in front of Caesar’s Palace. It went up in June, I believe, for Simon Properties, which runs the impossible retail maze known as Forum Shops. […]

Leyard is at the 2017 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show this week in Las Vegas, showing a fine pixel pitch LED video wall that supports multi-touch interactivity.

16:9: How Not To Use A 3 By 3 Video Wall

While still in Las Vegas last week, I had a morning meeting over in the deranged labyrinth also known as Caesar’s Palace, and found myself sitting in the central food court, looking at the video wall.
