LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

The old signage has already been removed as the Las Vegas Hilton stands ready to disappear.

The landmark, once the home of Liberace, Elvis Presley and the Star Trek Experience, will be officially renamed the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Tuesday.

A new name was announced back in November after the property decided to end its affiliation with the Hilton brand.

Originally the International Hotel when it opened in 1969, it was renamed the Las Vegas Hilton two years later.

FOX5 wants to know what you think of the new name and logo for the property.

Share your memories of the Hilton and thoughts on the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on Facebook and The RANT.
