Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman, former Mayor Oscar Goodman, a few showgirls and other dignitaries were on hand Tuesday for the dedication of the city’s new gateway sign on Las Vegas Boulevard.
The new sign, near the Stratosphere, welcomes visitors into downtown Las Vegas. It features showgirls atop the words “Las Vegas.”
A previous sign welcoming people to the downtown area was destroyed when a motorist hit it in 2016.
