Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas
This famous 25-ft-tall "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is probably one of the most famous signs and landmarks in Las Vegas — World. The back sign reads "Drive Carefully. Come back soon". You can find this Fabulous sign in many souvenirs in Vegas — even Pandora charm (if you are a collector like me)! Built in 1959, it was added to the US National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
This sign was designed by a woman named Betty Willis at the request of Ted Rogich, a local salesman, who sold the sign to the city. The sign was never copyrighted and has gained so much popularity that there have been replicas built in Vegas.
