Vegas Vic is a famous neon cowboy sign located in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. The iconic symbol can be seen from blocks away and has become synonymous with the city's wild nightlife and entertainment scene. It was created in 1951 by local sign maker, Kermit “Buck” Walters, who had been hired to create a “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign for the newly formed Fremont Street Experience. The 40-foot tall neon sign stands atop a building on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont Street and features an animated cigar-smoking character in a ten-gallon hat, waving his arm as he welcomes visitors to “Las Vegas—The Entertainment Capital of the World!”
Over the years, Vegas Vic has become one of the most recognizable landmarks in all of Las Vegas. He stands alongside several other iconic signs like the Falcon Motel, Stardust Casino, Sahara Hotel and Casino, and Binion's Horseshoe. All together they create an unforgettable experience for tourists looking to soak up some classic Las Vegas history while they explore this vibrant city.
In addition to its nostalgic charm, it also serves as a reminder that there is much more to Las Vegas than slots machines and showgirls. It stands as a testament to how far this city has come since its humble beginnings as a dusty desert oasis back in 1905. Visitors can still experience many of the original establishments where it all began or visit modern venues boasting glamorous shows and world class restaurants. No matter what you do or see during your time here, it's hard not to look up at Vic from time to time; nodding along with him as you both mark another day of adventure in beautiful Las Vegas.
