Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

"Start your vacation by exploring the world-famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign. This classic neon sign has been an emblem of Las Vegas since 1959 appearing on millions of postcards and countless movies. The sign sits in the center of the median of Las Vegas Boulevard, half a mile south of Russel Road. Since we had a car, we simply utilized the free parking area just off to the side of the sign. Normally there is a lady standing offering to take your photo with your phone (she accepts Venmo and PayPal) Don’t be deterred if you arrive and there is a lengthy line. Photo ops move quickly. You may find that costumed actors like “Elvis” are on hand to pose with you. We found this lady to be total pro, knowing just how to pose people quickly to get the optimal shots. Tips: The only caveat is that you enter by driving southbound on Las Vegas Boulevard. If you are driving from the Strip you will need to make a U-turn to access the parking lot. If you don’t have a vehicle it would be a cinch to take an Uber or Lyft or even walk if you are staying in one of the Southern-most hotels on the Strip, like Mandalay Bay."

"On your drive into Las Vegas make sure to stop at the infamous Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign! If you're hoping for the perfect picture beneath the sign, get there early as there will be a long line. "

"Ok, so it's not actually on the strip, but it's not far and it's a classic photo op when you come to Vegas!"
