	Las Vegas, Nevada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name Las Vegas is often applied to the unincorporated areas of Clark County that surround the city, especially the resort areas on and near the Las Vegas Strip.
		Las Vegas' climate is typical of the Mojave Desert in which it is located, with very little rainfall, and extreme heat in the summer; highs of 105 °F (40 °C) are common from May to September, and for several days each year, temperatures may exceed 115 °F (46 °C).
		Las Vegas's incorporated population of 478,434 is an understatement of the city's recent population boom, as much of the greater Las Vegas metropolitan area is unincorporated.

		The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign has remained in its place on the Strip since 1959; it was created by one of Las Vegas' pioneer commercial artists, a woman by the name of Betty Willis.
		The "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign has become so iconic of Las Vegas that the sign was chosen as the official logo for Las Vegas' centennial celebration.
		Willis continued to design signs until retiring at the age of 77, but her most famous design remains "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas." The sign has now become a destination in its own right and is seen as an iconic symbol of Las Vegas to tourists and Las Vegans alike.

		It's a mark of the durability and fame of Betty Willis' Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign that many visitors from California still exit long before Tropicana Avenue just so they can drive by it or park and snap a photo next to it.
		Many artists merely created art pieces that riffed on the icon, like Darius Kuzmickas' "You Can't $top Las Vegas," where the sign is replaced with an oversized and ironic stop sign; or Brian "Paco" Alvarez and Michael Kruis' portrait of Nikolai Tesla surmounted by a super-charged version of Willis' sign.
		One of the more intriguing and adventurous is by an Italian design firm, the "Starry Tangle," a transparent, luminous curtain that spells out "Welcome to Las Vegas" and would be constructed from conductive polymers filled with neon gas.
