Harrah’s

Harrah’s Las Vegas has never been content with the status quo. Always looking to add even more excitement to their property, they have remodeled several times. And as a longtime customer, Harrah’s turned to Federal Heath to make their latest rendition their most dynamic yet.

Since we were involved in the original conversion to a previous sign, the Great Big Riverboat, we had an intimate knowledge of the existing structure and what could be done. Working closely with the architectural firm and the contractors, we were able to control costs and give our client the look they desired. In the process, we created one of the most spectacular displays on the Strip.

Today, Harrah’s continues to be one of the Las Vegas’ most popular resorts. And Federal Heath is proud to play a continuing role in its success.

Paris Las Vegas Hilton Balloon Spectacular

In the fantasy world of Las Vegas, the Paris balloon is a replica of the world’s first vessel of human flight. On November 21, 1783, two Frenchmen piloted the first manned hot air balloon for an historic 25-minute flight over Paris. Today, the 2,900 room Paris Las Vegas Hilton commemorates the event with a 180’ tall, 75’ diameter landmark replica, erected in front of the property, right on Las Vegas’ celebrated strip.

This multi-million dollar engineering feat was designed, fabricated and installed over a two-and-a-half year period. The elegant balloon structure is a trussed, aluminum space-frame with decorated vinyl material stretched over the frame. Two large illuminated sets of letters reading “Paris” are mounted on the balloon surface, along with over one mile of border and decorative neon tubing. Two static flex face panels are mounted beneath the balloon structure.
