Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign: A City in Neon

I read cities through their lettering and light. This neon landmark brings that lens into focus.

Look closer at the landmark.

Read the landmark as city design

I read a city through its lettering and light. At 5100 S Las Vegas Blvd, the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign brings that lens into focus. Betty Willis designed the neon landmark in 1959, and it entered the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. Look at the star above the lettering and the outline around it before framing a photograph.

A city walk is a way of looking here, not a promise that the recommendations form one walk. Keep the sign as its own stop. The places below offer different activities rather than a timed route.

Las Vegas Shooting Center offers supervised indoor shooting experiences. The Australian Bee Gees is a live tribute show at Excalibur. Bodies: The Exhibition at Luxor Hotel and Casino displays preserved human specimens, so consider your comfort with anatomical exhibits. Topgolf Las Vegas is built around golf-hitting bays. Lioz - Comedy Magic Uncensored! puts parody and prop comedy at the center of a magic-show format.
