Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign sits outside Las Vegas city limits

The iconic 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas' sign is located on the Las Vegas Boulevard median south of Mandalay Bay in unincorporated Clark County (Paradise), not within the City of Las Vegas municipal boundaries. The sign's location is commonly given with a Las Vegas postal address even though it is governed by Clark County. The site is a tourist photo spot operated and maintained under county jurisdiction and has been at that location since 1959. Its location south of the Strip highlights the frequent mismatch between postal city names and municipal boundaries in the Las Vegas area.
