The famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Nevada” neon sign. Erected in 1959 by Western Neon and is currently owned by YESCO. The sign was designed by Betty Willis and was never copyrighted. Some consider the sign to be the official southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. The sign, like most of the Strip, sits in the town of Paradise and is located roughly four miles south of the actual city limits of Las Vegas. Most people just refer to the whole metro area as Las Vegas but is actually made up of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson and unincorporated Clark County, along with various townships. This image was taken in 1999.
