Pictures in front of Vegas sign?

This may be a stupid question, but I notice in a lot of TR%26#39;s people have pics of themselves in front of the Welcome to Vegas sign... do you have the limo/cab drivers stop and take your picture or something?

How far is the sign from Mandalay Bay? I%26#39;ve been to Vegas lots of times and have never been to the sign and would LOVE to do it when we go in August... is it walkable from MB?

Again, sorry if this is stupid, but I%26#39;m just curious as to have most of you get that picture taken.

Anyone can stop at this sign (about 1-2 miles south of MB). Just pull off the side or the center of the road. There will probably already be people there.

rockfoxxx, I was thinking of the same question. I guess I pictured that part of the road to be similar to the LV Blvd, say in front of Caesar%26#39;s, where traffic is crazy and there is no room to pull over or just stop.

The sign is definitely not 1-2 miles south of MB. More like 2 blocks, tops. It is definitely walkable. It is on a wide median between the north and southbound lanes of Las Vegas Blvd. The best time of day would be mid-to-late morning before the sun gets too high. The ';Welcome'; part faces south, so it%26#39;s pretty much in the sun all day. For nighttime you%26#39;ll need a good flash.

It%26#39;s actual 7/10 of a mile

I am so glad that you asked this question!!!

I have been to Vegas about 60 times, and I have NEVER seen the sign. I had no idea where it was located, I definately want the kids to have their picture made at the sign.

Thanks so much!!!!

be wary of taking the kids to the sign. Many pics of women sans top in front of the sign...

just be prepared...

There most defintely *is* traffic there, so just keep your wits about you and hang on to the young%26#39;uns!

The last time I was there people were parking their cars right on the center island.

So stop for pics of the sign is what you are saying...

Thanks everyone!! We%26#39;re actually renting a car one of the days we%26#39;ll be there, so I guess that%26#39;ll be the easiest way to swing by.

That%26#39;s hysterical about women ';sans tops'; in front of the sign - Welcome to Vegas indeed! lol...
