Welcome to Fabulous
Las Vegas
Stretching out over the desert floor, the City of Las Vegas
boasts some of the most jaw-dropping architecture in the
United States. What started as a small, isolated railroad
town in 1905, is now the fastest growing city in the country
and one of the most visited tourist destinations in the world.
For much of its history, Las Vegas created its own identity
as a city by borrowing from everyone else’s. Walk along
the famous Las Vegas Strip and you’ll see New York
skyscrapers, the canals of Venice and even a version of
the Eiffel Tower.
The city’s architecture often stretches the bounds of the
imagination and structural engineering. Constantly making
things bigger, better, higher or longer is what drives Las
Vegas forwards and what continues to create one of the
world’s most vibrant skylines.
“So much of Las Vegas falls
under the heading “it has to be
seen to be believed.”
Jeff Maguire

“Las Vegas is the only place
I know where money really talks
– it says, Goodbye.”
Frank Sinatra
Welcome to Fabulous
Las Vegas Sign
The classic 25 ft. (7.6 m) tall “Welcome to Fabulous Las
Vegas” sign has stood at 5200 Las Vegas Boulevard since
1959. It was created by Betty Willis, who set out to design
a roadside sign that was unique in its shape, style and
content. Willis chose not to copyright her iconic work,
instead seeing it as her gift to the city.
The sign is currently owned by the Young Electric Sign
Company, who leases it to Clark County. Technically the
sign isn’t actually in Las Vegas; instead it stands approx.
4 miles (6.5 km) south of the city limits, in the town officially
known as Paradise.
