The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign is a Las Vegas landmark funded in May 1959 and erected soon after by Western Neon. The sign was designed by Betty Willis at the request of Ted Rogich, a local salesman, who sold it to Clark County, Nevada.[1]
Coverage[]
The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign is featured in Sin City Meltdown.
It was introduced in 100 years when fine grains of windblown sand are erasing the welcome sign that once greeted visitors to the city of Las Vegas.
Its fate is revealed in 200 years when a desert thunderstorm rumbles in Las Vegas and since flash floods are common, flood waters have rust to spread into the support beams after 200 years of rushing water past the Las Vegas Sign. As another weather hazard comes into play, the wind blows up to 90 miles per hour in Las Vegas, making a powerful gust catches the city's old greeting sign like a sail. It torques the weakened supports to the breaking point making the sign falls flat on the empty crumbling roadway.
