Wisconsin Wooden Nickel @ Welcome to Las Vegas! If you don’t visit the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign, did you even come to Vegas? Amongst all of the great things to do in Las Vegas, this is easily the best way to make your friends jealous. People have been visiting the sign basically since its placement in 1959. Fun fact: the sign didn’t have a designated parking lot or a place for visitors to strike a pose until 2008. So people were literally dodging traffic for a picture with this 25 foot-tall legendary landmark.
