The 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign, designed by Betty Willis in 1959, is an iconic symbol of the city and a popular photo spot for tourists.
The sign was commissioned by local salesman Ted Rogich and has been greeting visitors at the southern end of the Las Vegas Strip for over 60 years.
The sign is technically situated in the town of Paradise, Nevada, just outside the official city boundaries.
In 2009, the sign was added to the National Register of Historic Places, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
To accommodate the influx of visitors wanting to take photos, a parking lot was constructed in 2008, making it easier for tourists to access the sign safely.
The sign features a distinctive diamond shape and uses a combination of neon and incandescent bulbs to create its vibrant glow.
Its iconic design has been emulated in various locations, including a replica in the Las Vegas-themed area of Disneyland Paris.
