For just a tip you get 10-20 professional pictures taken and emailed to you in less than 3 minutes. Ask for Mark Thursdays thru Sundays after dark. You get GREAT pictures and have a BLAST taking them!

HannahOctober 15, 2014Great photo op! Don't listen to random people there... Anyone is allowed to take pics. Free parking is hard to come by but available!

Sean FoleySeptember 3, 2018Incredible finally getting to see this upclose in person!! Thank You so Much Tita Amy, Nick, JoAnne and Kids!! Such incredible Memories and Experience!
Erik RowleyJuly 1, 2019Standing tall since 1959, this iconic Welcome symbol (And example of Googie architecture) is one of the most popular photo opps in the USA. Be sure to check the backside if you鈥檙e leaving!
marisa umayaMarch 29, 2015Must place to go. Better go in the morning or afternoon. The queue is not to long. There's a guy to help you taking picture but you must give tips to him.
If you visited Las Vegas but you forgot to take a picture in front of this sign you need to repeat the visit.
Get a selfie with the Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas Sign by walking past the long line. Stand to the side and snap away. You can get photos in minutes rather than waiting.- Las Vegas MannequinsSeptember 4, 2011In 1993, plans to beautify the Strip included removing the sign from its place south of Mandalay Bay (0.8 miles). Those who opposed the idea won, and the sign is still in its original place.
Road UnraveledOctober 9, 2018Great spot for a photo! Come early in the day to beat the crowds (and heat). It鈥檚 free, so you don鈥檛 need to pay anyone if they鈥檙e trying to help you with a photo.
Anthony GiffenNovember 20, 2013Moe Greene invented Las Vegas. This was a great man, a man of vision and guts. And it's outrageous that there isn't even a plaque, or a signpost or a statue of him in this town!
Monica EscobarApril 6, 2018There always a line but it worth it! Give a couple dollars to the guy there and you'll have better pictures
Spiros TheocharisDecember 26, 2015It's just a bright welcoming sign. It symbolizes the entrance to the city. The area around it has been shaped to host cars so that people can stop by and take photos.
Venita ShouldersOctober 25, 2018Love walking the strip; eating at Wicked Spoon; people watching; lots of great placesto eat! Oh and. Hoover dam and Lake Mead
DenetteOctober 28, 2015Great place to take a fun touristy photo. At night Elvis hangs out with his led light to help your photos for tips
Jeremy WeittingOctober 4, 2014Wether you shop, eat, gamble or site see --- Vegas has it all! Enjoy your time on the strip.
John JisonMay 21, 2013"What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" Bring Your nice Camera. You don't wanna regret not taking those wonderful views around the city.
Lauren BeasleyJuly 27, 2015Busy crowd. There were 2 obnoxious "photographers" taking supposedly free pictures for people and they pretty much ignored anyone who brought their own camera. We went at night. Big crowd.
Nicole DawsonFebruary 25, 2013Although it looks close to Mandalay Bay, it isn't really! Take a cab and get it to wait for you while you take your pics. When I went, there was a girl that would take pics of you with your camera.
Vanessa GohApril 28, 2014Watch out for a scary man at night who tries to harass you and take your pictures. Calls girls "baby" and won't leave you alone. Go in a big group if late at night.
Louise SutherlandNovember 8, 2014If you are in Vegas, you have to visit the sign. God access to pull in car park going South towards Airport. You cannot stop going North.- Jordan Bennett SJanuary 27, 2011A must, for anyone visiting Vegas or the first time. Originally erected in 1959 it is now on the national registry of historic places.
Mike KowalczykAugust 15, 2016A must-do in Las Vegas but there's a fairly sizable line so make sure you plan your time accordingly.
Carla JeanFebruary 18, 2012WELCOME To SIN CITY!! I've Been Here More Than Once & Every Trip Is NEVER The Same!! Bring Your Nice Camera, Or What Really Does Happen In Vegas Will STAY In Vegas!! ;)
Mandy AllmanOctober 29, 2017Easy to get in to stop and take a picture. This visit they had the memorial set up for the Vegas shooting victims.
JK GrenceSeptember 19, 2023Don鈥檛 bother waiting or letting the scam artist take your picture. Go up to the side, do your selfie, and enjoy your vacation!
Jason EllisonSeptember 8, 2016It's a quick walk from Mandalay bay. There is a crosswalk with a light to get there. Don't bother with a cab unless it is super hot out.- Zappos.comMay 5, 2011We are so happy to have you in our hometown! Vegas Baby!!! We hope you get lucky while you're here. Come take a tour of Zappos HQ and experience our fun and crazy world. Read more
MikeOctober 14, 2014Always a crowd, but sometimes you can get people to line up so we can all take a nice picture one at a time....
Jimmy KastnerAugust 19, 2014If you have jet lag, come here first thing in the morning. You'll beat the crowds and get great pictures.
Heinie Brian HartendorpJuly 27, 2018If yer visiting Las Vegas, it's imperative that you take a pic here!
Christopher StollJuly 30, 2015For a better selfie, without dealing with the crowd, stand to the right of the sign (blocking out the tourists) and have the sign over your left shoulder
Daniel van LeeuwenAugust 16, 2018A must see, people queing for half an hour to take a selfie. The sign itself is much smaller than expected.
Ryan DeGuzmanMay 15, 2016You don't have to give your camera to the person inevitably there to "take the picture for you."
Ashley MAugust 11, 2011I say its better to take pix during the day cuz at night either u use a flash and the sign is dark or no flash and u can only see the sign. Lines go quick anyways
HLApril 25, 2014It's quite sad that authorities haven't built a crosswalk to the center of the street. You have to cross three lanes in front of cars in order to get to the sign.
Dana FritzMay 20, 2014Take a picture at an angle from the side and avoid the lines. There is free parking for the sign.
Adam NowekJune 15, 2015Try to get there earlier in the day before the hordes arrive. Be careful crossing the street!
