A marquee is most commonly a structure placed over the entrance to a hotel, theatre, casino, train station, or similar building.
It often has signage stating either the name of the establishment or, in the case of theatres, the play or movie and the artist(s) appearing at that venue. The marquee is sometimes identifiable by a surrounding compound of light bulbs, usually yellow or white, that flash intermittently or as chasing lights.
