Sign owner: Palace Station
Sign details: Founded by Frank Fertitta III, was originally Bingo Palace in 1976 but was changed to Palace Station

Sign form: back to back pylon
Sign-specific description: Double sided pylon road side sign, word "PALACE STATION HOTEL CASINO" In red encasement stuck to the front of a minimalistic image of a train, the word "BINGO" underneath the train front. Skeleton Neon is used to accentuate the features of the train and the lettering on the sign.

Sign environment: Property is near the I-15, by local businesses and some residential
Sign - date of installation: c. 1983
Sign - thematic influences: Seeking to avoid the western theme popular among casinos at the time, Fertitta chose trains.

More than 26,000 entries were received over three weeks. Las Vegas resident Claire Jarvis won as Palace Station touched on the new train theme while keeping part of the original name. - Las Vegas Review Journal
Sign - artistic significance: Owner Frank Ferttitta Jr held a contest for the casinos new theme and the "train station" theme was the favorite out of the entries.
