Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

5100 Las Vegas Blvd S · Las Vegas, NV

Why you should go…

Erected in 1959, this googie-style neon sign has welcomed visitors to the south end of the Strip for over six decades. A dedicated pullout with parking makes it easy to stop for a photo any time of day or night. It's free, unmissable, and still one of the most recognizable roadside signs in America.

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • The forecast is part of the ticket

    Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.

  • Golden hour sells out first

    Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.

  • Dress a layer warmer

    It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.

  • Timed entry is common

    Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
