Where is the Welcome to Las Vegas sign? Visitors to Las Vegas typically fly in and fly out and never get in a car so it is possible to never see the Welcome to Las Vegas sign during Your Vegas Vacation. The sign is south of Mandalay Bay by about one mile, the reason it seems further is there is not a damn thing between the two. If You walked from Mandalay Bay to the north to Planet Hollywood it wouldn’t seem all that far because there is much to do and see between the two but if there is nothing to see and do it seems very far. If You want to take a taxi or a ride share to the sign, You can ask the driver to wait while You get Your picture, otherwise getting a ride back will start a whole new trip and might be a long wait. And in the typical American way there is a lazy Man’s option for getting Your picture with the sign: there is a place at Fashion Show Mall that superimposes You from a green screen background and it looks like the real thing. But if You ever want to know if someone is using a fake Welcome to Las Vegas sign, look for those ugly power lines. Why couldn’t they have underground utilities at least for that block of the Las Vegas Strip? All pictures have the ugly lines in the back except the fake ones.
