Wedding Capital of The World™ To Commemorate 65th Anniversary of “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” Sign With “Your Sign of Love” Photo Contest
Couples Married in Las Vegas Invited to Share Their Romantic Photos in Front of Iconic Landmark for Chance to Win Customized Sign Replica by YESCO
LAS VEGAS (April 2024) – Throughout the month of May, the Wedding Capital of the World™ will commemorate the 65th anniversary of the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign with the “Your Sign of LoVe” photo contest for couples who married in Las Vegas. The winning couple will be awarded a customized replica of the Welcome sign made by YESCO, the 104-year-old company that owns and maintains the Las Vegas Boulevard landmark and is known for creating many of Las Vegas’ most internationally recognizable signs.
Everyone from newlyweds to couples with decades of wedded bliss behind them will be invited to share photos snapped in front of the iconic landmark on social media. Photos taken in wedding attire are strongly encouraged, but any married couple can submit a photo capturing their love and commitment as long as it was taken in front of the world-famous sign.
The rules for the photo contest follow:
NOTE: The contest is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram.
The winner of the 12-inch-tall sign will be selected by the Wedding Capital of the World team and announced in June with a public unveiling of the winning photograph and presentation of the custom YESCO sign, which will be personalized with the names of the winning couple.
“Couples who tie the knot here are part of our history. We call them the Las Vegas Wedding Club,” said Lynn Marie Goya, Clark County Clerk, “And we are planning unique, fun events like this to show them how special they are to us. We invite them to send us a snapshot celebrating their joy in front of the world-renowned ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign for this once-in-a-lifetime photo contest.”
“For 65 years, the ‘Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign has stood as one of the world’s most recognizable historic landmarks,” said Jeff Young, executive vice president, YESCO. “Making a customized replica for the winning couple is our way of continuing to preserve the magic and charm of this Las Vegas icon.”
