The tallest welcome sign, installed at the beginning of its main street, stands out most clearly. The author who developed the project donated it to the city in 1959, and now it is one of the main attractions. The height of the sign is 8 meters. It is surrounded by a neon sign that lights up with colored lights at night. And the main inscription on it reads:
Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada ("Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada")
Information:
Welcome to Las Vegas Sign
Address: 5100 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV, USA
Opening hours: daily around the clock
Cost: free
There is a small free car park nearby. You can walk from the hotel in 15 minutes.
We found the place easily: the sign is located almost at the beginning of the chain of Strip hotels, a little before reaching it. Several smaller copies of it have been installed in the city, but the original is, of course, the most interesting. We were greeted by a rather long line of people who wanted to take pictures near him. As soon as the people did not refine themselves - they jumped, and portrayed something, and stood up in all sorts of poses ... The sea is worried for three ... Marine figure, freeze!
But standing idle in the sea of marine figures of the queue was not part of our plans, so we moved a little to the right, and calmly took pictures from there. At the same time, no one was disturbed, the sign was not blocked, and time was saved. The job is done, you can tick the list and move on.
By the way, there is a similar welcome sign that reads "Welcome to fabulous Downtown, Las Vegas, Nevada." Only, in contrast to this, it is not installed on the "leg", but on the frame of one of the street structures, in the form of a large banner.
In addition to the original sign and similar copies of it, it is found on souvenir magnets, cups, T-shirts, signs like "Welcome to our store", and so on. Among the various options for holding, there is the opportunity to marry this sign. Photos on its background are popular not only among tourists, but also among newlyweds. A welcome neon sign flickered more than once in the photos taken in the city. In a word, a visit to Las Vegas would not be complete without this bright symbol. Welcome friends!

Dear Jean, I hope you are doing well. I bought new tv. The image is good, there are a whole bunch of channels, but I rarely turn it on, because I work all the time. I forgot to have dinner, so I made myself pasta. It turned out too dry, but there really is no time for goodies, ha ha. Do not forget to eat, especially since you know how to cook, and you have a lot of time. Sweet Dreams.
Dear Jin! It's been two years since you left me, but I don't forget about you for a day, an hour, or a moment! Your brother Namjoon (he misses you a lot too) introduced me to his friends. They are really funny guys! I even laughed tonight. Their names are Jungkook and Hoseok. You would love them. I already know, ha. I hope you all are well. I will definitely write to you tomorrow, sweet dreams!
Dear Jean, your parents bought new house. It's so big and spacious. The guys and I celebrated a housewarming party there for several days, ha ha. But I'm not tired, and even would like to continue! Namu got very drunk and showed pictures of you the first night. He cried a lot and Jungkook cried with him. Hoseok took me to the garden (there are a lot of your favorite peonies. Your mom takes great care of them) because I had a tantrum and I couldn't stop. But then he bought me a creampie at a convenience store, and I calmed down. Just a cake, you know, ha. Sweet Dreams!
Hello dear Jean! My jacket got very dirty and I got angry.
Your parents and Namu's business is booming, and your brother gave me and the guys expensive gifts in honor of success. I got expensive sneakers, which I saved up for a long time. Jungkook is an expensive console game and Hoseok is a lot of cartridges for his Polaroid. We immediately took a photo (I'll make a copy and paste it here next time).
Dear Jin, today Jungkook brought his boyfriend and his best friend(well, his boyfriend's friend). You know, Gene, they're great guys! You would love them. Gukky's boyfriend's name is Taehyung. He draws and photographs a lot. He and Hoseok spent the entire evening talking about various cameras that they would never have enough money for, haha. You would like him (I already said this, but I'll say it again) because Taehyung looks like a very bright person. He and Jungkook are so different, but so perfect for each other! I've never loved anyone (I'm talking about romance, that's all), and you know that very well. You always said that love will come suddenly and you can't be prepared for it. It seems to me that you were right. I pray that you eat well today, and I go to bed. Sweet Dreams!
Dear Jin! I was embarrassed to tell you, but I seem to have fallen in love. I just realized that on the 8th, when I was talking about new guys, I only introduced you to Taehyung, haha. Long story short, Tae's best friend's name is Jimin. He laughs a lot and gives positive energy. When I hear him laugh, I always smile. I wanted to say that I think I fell in love with him. In Jimin.
Gin! You and I were exposed, ha ha. Yesterday the guys came to visit me and brought a lot of soju. I went into the room to write to you about this, but when I sat down and took a pen, I entered the room, you know who? Never guess! Jimin. He mixed up the door and was already very drunk. He immediately wanted to leave, but I (sorry, please) put you aside and invited him to come in. I told him that I write letters to you every day, and he began to cry. I don't know, he got so sad that I had to bring a glass of water. Then Jimin hugged me so tightly that my back crunched, but it didn't hurt, it was nice and warm. I think I'm falling even more in love with Park Jimin. Goodnight!
Hello dear Jean. Taehyung had a big fight with Namjoon and went home. I don't remember why, but it was something unpleasant. I felt uneasy, so I went to the cinema. There was a movie about zombies, and you know how much I love them! Although the plot is so-so. Jimin wasn't with us. By the way, Gukki too. Hoseok stayed with your brother. But don't worry, everything will be fine.
Gin! Hello. Remember when I told you how Namjoon and Tae had a fight? Today we were preparing for the New Year, and they reconciled. I was so happy that I almost cried because they had never cursed so hard in front of me. Damn, so much news, how not to forget everything. Today was a funny one too. We were all sitting in your house (your parents flew to Italy to celebrate the New Year. Sorry, I only found out about their trip today myself, so I couldn’t say earlier), and your brother asked Tae to bring another box of various tinsel from the second floor closet. Taehyung left and was gone for a long time. Jungkook went to him to see why he was there for so long and disappeared himself. Haha. Jimin joked that you have a real black hole in your closet, and we all laughed for a long time. They were gone sooo long, and Jimin called me to go with him to check out this mysterious room (so if there really is a black hole there, one of us could call for help, haha). We opened the door, and these two, wrapped in tinsel, lay right on the floor and moaned. True, we saw little because of the scattered toys and New Year's things, but it was very funny. Taehyung still had a headband of deer horns, and Jimin and I almost died of laughter when we went down to the guys to tell about the “missing”. I forgot to say that I fell in love with Jimin. I don't think it's love yet, but I don't know for sure. I would like to hear your opinion now. Goodnight!
01.01.2019 00:46
Favorite Jin!!! Happy New Year!!! I love you and you always were, are and will be my best friend!!!
Hoseok interrupted me because the guys lost me. But here I am again. Although I have to go and deal with everyone New Year. But I will definitely tell you how we spent it. Jimin gave me a new sweater and a book, and I gave him earrings and hair dye (expensive), otherwise he is always whining that he wants to dye himself, but there is no money, haha. I put on this sweater and I feel very warm (and not only physically). Everyone, I'm running!
Dear Jin! I'm in complete shock. Do you know what your brother gave us all (ALL GUYS)??? Now, I'll go to the soda store and tell you everything. Wait. There was a promotion in the store and I bought several cans of cola at once, ha. All in all. Now you will fall! Namjoon gave us all (repeat, W C E M) tickets to Las Vegas!!! I'm so happy!!! You know how much I wanted to go abroad. And here also with the closest people. We will fly in a few days. Imagine, our parents and the guys knew everything and gave our documents, but they were silent, like fish, so that Namjoon could make a surprise. We argued for a long time, because it's a whole lot of money (there's still living there, etc.), but your parents' business is booming, and your brother's studio is also very good, so June said that he didn't mind anything for us. I almost got angry right there, but Hoseok and Jimin immediately ran to the store, and then we celebrated this great news. It is a pity that you will not see America and will not have fun with us. But I will definitely tell you everything to the smallest detail! Sweet Dreams!!! I will go to bed thinking about the trip.
Dear Jin! I'm in the plane! It’s not very convenient to write, but right now I wanted to tell you my emotions. I have never flown and I thought I would be sick. But I'm really good, haha. First of all, I don't feel sick like Hoseok (poor guy). Secondly, we were fed deliciously (and the flight attendants here are very kind and accommodating). And thirdly, right now Jimin is sniffing on my shoulder. He didn't on purpose. This is during sleep. But I'm so pleased. I feel his warmth and rejoice. I even took a picture of us in this position. I hope he doesn't kill me for this photo, ha. But don't worry, he'll even smile, I'm sure. We land in thirty minutes. I wanted to sleep too, but I couldn't sleep. Now I'll listen to music and write to you at the hotel. Gin! Now we have a photo under the sign "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas"! Your brother knows so much about America. We were all really surprised when he asked directions in fluent English and told us about different beautiful places and about the history of the city. We are at the hotel now because we are very tired after the flight. But first, after all, we went to the signboard, otherwise there was no strength to wait. Hoseok took a Polaroid of us. He doesn't save frames because the gift from Jun still seems to be endless haha. I even have a photo card by that Jimin sign. True, I closed my eyes there, but I smile, so everything is cool. Jimin wanted one, so Hobi took two pictures of us. But in Jimin's picture, I'm not sleeping anymore. I put the photo card in my wallet. And in Korea I will put it on a table (on a special holder, I don’t know what it’s called), and right now I’m looking at it. I hope you see her too and smile. By the way, the two of Jimin took a picture only with me! At the hotel we were divided into two rooms. In mine: me, Jimin and Namjoon. Next door: Taehyung, Jungkook, Hoseok. I feel a bit sorry for Hobie, because those two already kicked him out for several hours tonight, haha! I have to run, because it's almost midnight, and everyone got some sleep. We agreed to go somewhere in the city on the first night. Onward to the Las Vegas nightlife!
Oh dear Jean! I do not even know where to start. I guess I'll start with the fact that it was very hot. Although, no. I'll start from the moment I finished the letter last time. We immediately went for a walk around the city. We did not go to any establishments and did not visit any famous places. Just walking around Vegas with their mouths open, watching the fun at night and an endless amount lights. It's so beautiful, Jin. I'm so happy. My heart aches from the fact that you didn’t see this beauty and didn’t laugh with us when Namu got lost between two pines and couldn’t find us, and we stood right around the corner and laughed out loud. I thought of you when Jimin drank some “first free shot” on the street and said that I became a dear person to him. He said it quietly, and no one heard, but I was very pleased. I wanted to tell you right away, so I knocked this phrase out in my head so as not to forget. True, we did not walk for a very long time, because not much time had passed since the flight, so we went home to sleep and gain strength for a new day, which I will tell you about now. We woke up about an hour. But it was not a long swing, as usual for study or work, but a cheerful greeting of a new “morning”. It seems that we slept for a very long time, but only a couple of hours came out with a night walk. Jimin was so funny in the morning ha. All disheveled, with half-closed eyes, he walked around the room, trying to choose what to wear today. The first thing your brother took us to, do you know where? To Madame Tussauds (I hope I wrote it correctly. Although June checked and said it was correct). There are so many celebrities there. More specifically, puppets. Well, you know, of course. But they looked so real. We all walked and groaned. Of course, we took a bunch of photos for memory. Oh, I remember the incident. Long story short, Jungkook jabbed his finger into Lindsay Lohan's cheek and we almost got kicked out. Into the fool But it was funny. Jimin took several pictures with Johnny Depp, which made me a little jealous. You would like the Angelina Jolie there, seriously. Then we ate ice cream and Hoseok hung out in some music store. Although he is not particularly fond of music, everything was so bright and beautiful there that we ourselves walked there for about an hour. In the evening we went to the Neon Museum. Your brother wanted to go there so badly. It didn't seem like much to us. interesting idea(at first) but when we got there, we thanked Namjoon because it was just something! We specifically went there in the evening (an open-air museum) so that the light from the sunset could give this place even more charm. Oh Jin, we made such beautiful photographs there! These old signs are a real aesthetic. Taehyung was actually squeaking (seriously) at every turn. Sometimes he made sketches. I don't know why, ha. And then we went to the Las Vegas Strip (Jun double-checked the spelling). We also walked there yesterday, but not enough. We also decided that every evening spent here, we would walk along this street. It was so much fun. Now I want to travel the whole world! I used to want to, but now I'm just fired up with this idea. We laughed a lot, but we didn't drink much (ha). It's almost 4 am now. Jimin went to bed about thirty minutes ago, and your brother writes something in his notebook. Just realized that Jimin called me to sleep while I was writing you a letter, and I realized it ONLY NOW. Oh! I ran (although he was already asleep). Sweet Dreams!
Hello! I'm sorry I didn't text you yesterday because I was very drunk and passed out immediately. Everyone is still sleeping (it's already 2 pm), but I set the alarm to write you a letter while no one bothers. Oh my friend, so much happened yesterday that again I don't know where to start! Now I'll make myself a coffee (I have to go to the reception on the ground floor) and come back. They made me a cappuccino (for free). So. I don't even know how to tell it. By the way, your brother is awake, but the others aren't, so we're just minding our own business with him for the time being. From the window, a view of the neighboring building of the hotel. Not very romantic, but still cool. Briefly speaking. Yesterday we went to some hotel-casino (they are everywhere here). I don't remember the name (asked Namu, he doesn't remember either), unfortunately. And Jungkook and Tae lost some money there haha. Others too, but smaller. Although I even won what I lost. So it didn't go down the drain. And everyone else lost. Although, it was fun! And yet, gambling is really exciting. I think you'd win some money there. Then we went to the Fremont Street Experience. Oh, difficult name. (June check.) We walked around there for a bit and then (somehow happened by itself) split up. You know, Gene, now I'm telling you about what happened next, with a fluttering heart, because when I remember it, I get goosebumps. Hoseok forgot his camera (and some cartridges) in my backpack, so I took him all the way to the hotel. We split like this: me and Jimin; Jungkook, Tae and your brother; Hoseok (he started roaming the record stores himself). But don't worry, then he joined the guys (though not soon). But Jimin and I were together until the morning. Jimin got the free first shot again, haha. And I also grabbed one while we were walking along the Las Vegas Strip. Jin, it was so great! Jimin and I went into a special booth for instant photos, and now I have more than just a Polaroid with him. After that, we went to some bar and had a few drinks. It was warm outside, and the bar was very stuffy, so we sat there for a short time. We walked wherever our eyes looked, and when we reached the statue (I don’t remember which one), Jimin took my hand. It seems like an accident, but my heart went to the heels. I felt like a little boy, haha. He took my hand and didn't let go. We walked for so long, and our hands were as if intertwined. My heart almost flew out of my chest. But that's not the most interesting part. By the way, we used up all of Hoseok's cartridges he forgot in my backpack huh. But there wasn't much, so he didn't even notice. The photos are a little blurry, but I still really like it. Jimin and I walked to a place called Venetian Las Vegas. Looks just like Venice! Although I have not been there, but it seems to me that it is very similar. It was already very busy (maybe 3am) and Jimin asked me a question. I thought about this question for half the night. Do not pay attention to the fact that the paper is slightly wet. I'm not crying on purpose now, I'm just remembering all this, and just like - Namjoon brought me coffee. I quickly calmed down, so I continue the letter. I'm sorry for being so abrupt, haha. Jimin asked me about the letters I write to you every day. He said that he had been watching me for over a year and that he was very surprised that I kept writing to you without ever getting a reply. He said he would like a friend like me. My hands then trembled, and he squeezed them tighter, and after that- And after that he kissed me. So simple and- He kissed me and held me so tight I almost passed out. It was so nice. There was something strange going on in my stomach. I would never have thought that someone would become truly dear to me. We were silent for a while and I didn't know what to say. But then I told him that I'm afraid to leave you. I'm afraid to be alone. But I know that I will always have you, Gene. I know
Dear Jin! Jimin isn't sleeping yet. He and I returned home a few hours later than the others (!), so we are just getting ready for bed. Tonight we originally shared (the division is the same as yesterday) and Jimin and I went to "Paris Las Vegas". It's funny that in "another city" he also said something to me that I'm thinking about right now. Jimin told me that he didn't want me to be afraid. That I have him, your brother and the guys. That he (and the others) will never leave me and will always be there. We kissed and smiled a lot. I love his voice and joyful, beautiful face. I'm sorry, I really want to sleep, because it's already bright morning outside. Sweet Dreams! (or good morning, hehe)
Hey Jin! This is probably the most reverent letter I have ever written to you. My hands are shaking so my handwriting is uneven, sorry. Today we walked a lot with the guys, and decided that we would definitely return here next summer or just go somewhere to explore the world together. Today we did not separate for the whole evening. But not for long. Jimin took me outside when the guys ordered a new cocktail at the bar and we sat down on a bench with him. He said that he loved me very much and that he would never leave me. I was silent for a long time and did not know what to answer, so he asked (I will write in dialogues to make it easier to read): - Do you feel something for me? I saw that he was worried, because blood came out of his lip (he bit it), and his palms were very sweaty. I answered: - Probably, yes. You can take your time and think things over. I will understand. I didn't want to delay because you know I've been in love with Jimin for a very long time. We sat by the fountain around the bright signs, looking at drunken tourists and screaming barkers, and I briefly closed my eyes. I was afraid that I would become an extra burden in his life, that he would leave me, or that he would quickly get tired of me. So I answered: - I can say what I feel. But, seriously, if this breaks the laws of fate, and I become a stone in my next life, then you will fight the moss that settles on me. He smiled and squeezed my hand even tighter, and when I added “yes, I’ve been in love with you for a long time,” Jimin froze in place and looked into my eyes for a long time. I swear I've never felt anything like this before! He kissed me and we returned to the guys. Sweet Dreams!
Hello dear Jin! This is my last letter for you. Today we fly back to Korea, but we have a couple of hours of free time. I decided to stay at home and write to you. We had a long talk with your brother the day before yesterday, and I thought a lot. I'm sorry I haven't written to you in recent days. I was so good with the guys, with Jimin. We came home and immediately passed out without hind legs. By the way, Jimin and I are now dating. The rest, when they found out, shouted a lot and drank a lot “for us”, ha ha. And Taehyung even teared up. So cute. Yesterday seems to be the happiest day of my life! At the end of the day, we trudged home merrily, so happy and tired after the stormy celebration of the last day in Vegas. We were going through some kind of tunnel, and something happened. The guys quickly ran to the sidewalk and went around the corner, while Jimin and I were distracted by something. There was no one around. He turned me to the wall and kissed me hard. He whispered that he would never leave me, and that he loved me. And at that moment I believed him. You know, dear Jean. This trip was the most special moment in my life. Now I'm not afraid to be alone. Namjoon told me that he had known Jimin for a long time, and that he was sure that he was sincere with me (I told him everything). Right now your brother is sitting next to me holding a cup of cappuccino. He is as worried as I am as I write this last letter to you. Jin, I really love Jimin. And I believe that he will never leave me and will be there. And that the rest of the guys will be with us until the end. I hope you are doing well in the other world. You will forever remain in our heart. I love you Jin (and Namjoon too). And now I'm ready to let you go.
