Welcome to Las Vegas Sign


"Welcome to Las Vegas" sign to receive parking lot

49 years and millions of pictures later, the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Groundbreaking is set for Wednesday on a new parking lot at the sign. No longer will we all have to stop traffic and jump the curb to park in gravel in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard for pictures.
County officials will gather to kick-off construction of the parking lot, which will have 12 actual parking spaces and room for two busses.
The parking lot should be finished in November.
So next time you come to visit.....we can legally park by the sign and take pictures with the other tourists!

A good idea! Only 49 years to figure it out...hummmm. I wonder how many "tourists" had to get killed, maimed or injured (or peed their pants) to help them realize that a few simple parking spaces would solve the problem.
