HE WAS BORN IN 1955 ... MADE OF FIBERGLASS BY YESCO SIGNS ... THE GIANT SULTAN OVERLOOKED THE STRIP FROM ATOP OF THE DUNES ENTRANCE. BACK THEN ALMOST EVERYTHING WAS A MIDDLE EAST THEMED HOTEL ... (DUNES) ... (ALGIERS) ... (ALADDIN) .. (SAHARA) ... AND LOT'S OF MOTELS AS WELL. .... WHEN THE DUNES ADDED THE DIAMOND TOWER, THEY MOVED THE OLD SULTAN FACING INTERSTATE 15 ON THE GOLF COURSE. .... A FEWS YEAR'S LATER THE SPRINKLERS GOT INTO THE ELECTRICAL PART OF THE SIGN AND WATER & ELECTRIC DON'T MIX. .... THE SULTANS HEAD CAUGHT FIRE AND MELTED ... IN TODAY'S WORLD OF POST 911 THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD THING ..... SHOW ME YOUR SULTANS! .... COMMENTS & PHOTOS ARE MOST WELCOMED ... THANKS RICH BURGEL
