The 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign has greeted visitors since 1959 and remains the city's most iconic free photo stop, sitting on its own median at the south end of the Strip with a dedicated free parking lot.
Welcome to Las Vegas sign: Review, Tickets & What to Expect
The 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign is the single most recognisable symbol of the city, designed by Betty Willis and installed in 1959. Standing on a median at the south end of the Strip, it has welcomed generations of visitors and remains an essential, free photo stop.
A dedicated free parking lot sits right beside it, and a line usually forms for the classic head-on shot, moving fastest early in the morning. The sign is illuminated after dark, making for a striking night-time photo too. Free to visit.
Insider tipThere's a dedicated free parking lot beside the sign, but the photo line is shortest early morning — and the sign is lit at night, which makes for a great after-dark shot.Check Tickets & Prices →
