Sorry…I meant to say Danny Gans was on the Mirage sign, not the Wynn sign. I believe he was performing at the Wynn when he died 4 years ago.
Hi Dawn.
Thanks for your comment.
Danny had moved to the Encore just a few months before he passed.
All of the photos on the site are my own.
That photo is one of my favorites and has some sentimental value for me. You make a good point about it being dated, though. I’ll look into using a more recent photo or perhaps taking a new photo this week specifically for the website.
Thanks!
Mark
Thanks for your reply Mark! Very nice site, by the way!
Thank you! I’m glad you like it!
Hi Mark,
I’m new to your site, but the image on your website that jumped out at me of your night scene, was Danny Gans on the Wynn sign. Dear Danny has been dead for 4 years this month, so you might want to post one of the many updated night scenes.
Thanks!
