Maxim Cover of Eva Longoria Supersized

[KIISQueen]

For air travelers flying over southern Nevada this week, the view offers more than miles of dusty desert.

A giant, bikini-clad Hollywood star perched on the desert sands isn't a mirage, but a recreation of a Maxim magazine cover.

The cover is made of a vinyl-mesh screen and reads, "THE ONLY MAGAZINE BIG ENOUGH TO BE SEEN FROM SPACE AND ONLY IN VEGAS!" A barely dressed Eva Longoria, star of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," graces the 75-by-110-foot display just outside Primm, near the California state line.

The cover is part of several days of events celebrating the magazine's 100-issue milestone, including poker and golf tournaments at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel-casino, a Maxim public relations representative said this week.

Erika Yowell, a spokeswoman for the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, told the Las Vegas Sun that her agency is involved with the promotion because the magazine's readers are a good target audience for the city.

Maxim is one of the new "lad's magazines" that feature scantily clad, but not nude, young female celebrities.

Google must have specifically updated their sat photos of that area! Usually they aren't that up-to-date.

Anyone know the coordinates so that we can go check it out ourselves? (on google earth, of course.)

Weather is AWESOME here too! It's about 75F with a light breeze, and since we had rain earlier this week, the air is nice and clean too.




Ah...THAT's why I live here...(despite the traffic and rediculous housing prices),
