The Texaco Fire Chief service station opened on the grounds of the Last Frontier Hotel in 1947, right on the Las Vegas Strip. Styled to match the resort’s all-encompassing Old West theme, and featuring what is likely the Strip’s first large scale animated neon sign, the gas station was a draw for travelers who wanted to experience what was undoubtedly one of the coolest gas stations in America at the time. The Texaco Fire Chief service station became a Mobil station in the early 60s, and was sadly demolished in ’66.
