Myself and my wife recently visited Las Vegas for the first time. We had several things we wanted to do and one of them being - taking a picture in front of the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. The sign is a little way from the main strip but its easy to access via a regular bus although there is nothing else to do around it. There is usually a lot of people waiting for photographs and you may have to wait a while although myself and my wife took a really good picture slightly to the side of the side and this avoided all the queues. Think this definately confirms you've "been to Vegas" but there are also similar signs in place around the City. Recommend a visit

We took a taxi from the Venetian to the Pinball Museum and then walked a block to get to the sign which is past the Mirage on the southern end of the Strip. It's in the middle of the road and there was a long line to take a photo but if you stand off to the side and frame it right you don't need to wait in line. Have been to Vegas many times and never done this so it was fun. The part that sucked was getting back...we walked from the sign back down the strip and did things along the way but it is a long walk!

People pretty much just stand in line and take pictures for the people in front of them, so your group photo quality depends on the random person behind you having photography skills. We lost that lottery. Oh well. I'll come back next time I'm in Vegas and try again. We still got nice pictures of the sign without people in it.

It's a sign. Bigger than I thought it'd be. Was a long line of folks wanting to get a pic in front of it on a Sunday morning. We didn't want to wait so went off to the side and took a picture from afar. There isn't much parking. I think it would be total chaos during a busier time of the day.

We went around sunset and the photos came out beautifully. Avoid standing in the huge line and just take your photos to the ‘side’ of the sign. It’s still a great view and if you know your angles then 9 times out of 10 you can get one without no one in the background. I wouldn’t trust anyone to take a photo of you unless you also take one of them as I’ve heard there are scammers around the sign who will offer a photo and charge obscene amounts of money. There’s also some really cute street vendors offering refreshing treats. At the end of the day it’s just a sign but it’s iconic.

We walked down to the sign and stopped along the way and grabbed the bus back. not surprised to see a queue but we stood to the side and captured the moment by and helpful tourist. Obviously as you are on outskirt of Las Vegas not much else there.

After 6 visits to Vegas, finally made it to the fabulous Las Vegas sign. We visited at the start of our trip during the day and at the end of our trip at night. Both times there were lines for picture but everyone was respectful and waited their turn and everyone got their due time. There are “workers” at the front of the line that will take your pictures. The service is free and optional but it is worth the few dollars in tips for the shots they will get for you. During the day it was hot, but there were vendors selling drinks and snacks while you waited, so the wait did not seem that long. At night there were many intoxicated people there and not so sure I would take my young children there in the evening. The sign is definitely something that should be seen in Vegas and it is unfortunate we were not able to see it sooner.

We visited the sign on the first day; we were jet lagged and up early. I think we got to the sign for about 8:30am and there was no queues, no one around bar a friendly gentleman who was working and offered to take pictures for us. Of course - we tipped him for his generosity - but I see no problems as he took lots of pictures for a once in a lifetime opportunity - and they turned out great! I would definitely recommend visiting early in the day so you beat the queue lines.

A must do! Everyone needs their cliche Welcome To Las Vegas sign photos. There is very little shade here, and no seating. A guy was at the front taking photos for a tip. He was great and we tipped $5, you don't need him to take the photos it does just make things easier.

A must see in vegas! We arrived at around 8am and there was no queue. We got an Uber down to the sign (from the Bellagio) and walked back weaving in and out of the casinos which was great. Friendly chap took plenty of our photos. Tipped $10 and he was very grateful. Took 12 pics overall.
