Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

The famous "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is a notable city landmark, funded in May 1959 and quickly constructed by Western Neon. The design was created by Betty Willis, commissioned by Ted Rogich, a local salesman who successfully marketed it to Clark County, Nevada.

Positioned in the median at 5100 Las Vegas Boulevard South, the sign marks the northern edge of the area, flanked by the historic stone pillars of the old McCarran Field to the east. To the west, it faces the Bali Hai Golf Club and the former site of the Klondike Hotel and Casino. The sign is often considered the official southern boundary of the Las Vegas Strip.

Located in Paradise, Nevada, the sign is about 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Las Vegas's city limits. Despite these technicalities, the term "Las Vegas" is commonly used by both residents and visitors to refer to the entire metropolitan area.
