Two American Icons
The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign stands with a Harley-Davidson sign across the strip. Located on the median of the Las Vegas Strip just south of Russell Road, this historic sign famously reads, "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada" on the front and "Drive Carefully" and "Come Back Soon" on the back. The sign was designed in 1959 by Betty Willis and constructed by the Western Neon Company. It's an example of Googie style architecture and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 1, 2009.
