The Welcome to Las Vegas Sign (s)
There are now several of them, all different. The best known example sits on Las Vegas Blvd. S, about two miles south of center strip. It has a small parking lot, but most people only take a quick look and then drive on. In other words, parking is almost always available, and it is free. It was designed in a few hours by Bette Willis, who worked for a well known sign company. She donated her time and the sign company donated the sign. All around a very good deal.
We want to do our part also. We donate this space to local artists. The artist of the month is an author who wrote the following three books, among others: Nevada a Strange State, Silveropolis, The Great Lake Mead Water Caper. You can buy them on Amazon and help a struggling artist. Maybe the next Hemingway?
