A 30-by-60-foot flag flies from a 100-foot-tall pole Thursday at
Towbin Hummer on West Sahara Avenue. Neighbors don't like it.

Call it a show of patriotic pride. Or call it a crass red-white-and-
blue marketing ploy.
Either way, the city of Las Vegas has ordered a Hummer dealership to
take down an American flag that flies 100 feet above the business.
Dan Towbin, owner of Towbin Hummer, said he was in disbelief at the
City Council's decision this week to require the business to take down
the 30-by-60-foot Stars and Stripes that has flown since May 2006 in
front of the dealership.
"It's ridiculous in today's day and age to suggest removing an
American flag," he said.
Towbin must remove the flag within 60 days, though he said he was
contemplating a lawsuit to challenge the council's unanimous action."
