The City of Las Vegas recently announced it would devote resources to a new gateway arch and welcome display, and elements of the latter are already being put into place.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown
Be nice to Denny’s. We didn’t see anywhere else to park for this photo op.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The welcome display, featuring dice, chips and a roulette wheel, sit at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Main Street, about a block from the Stratosphere casino.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown
The new display is a stone’s throw away from the Strat. Please don’t throw stones. This neighborhood has enough problems with projectiles.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to renderings, the site will also sport two showgirls. Posts for the showgirls have also been put into place.<\/p>\n

Here’s a look at the rendering.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown
We definitely didn’t notice the dice pip position has changed since this rendering was released. Because that would be weird.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The City of Las Vegas plays a big part in the display, which is only a little awkward because the City pretty much abandoned the logo in March 2017, presumably because it was too darned full of itself.<\/p>\n

The logo cost $20,000 to develop.<\/p>\n

\"Downtown
On a roulette wheel, those yellow triangles are called canoes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also in the works is a gateway arch<\/a>. The City has been a bit vague about where the arch will end up, but it’s assumed it will stretch across Las Vegas Blvd. at Sahara Ave.<\/p>\n

An alternative location for the arch could be at South 4th Street and Las Vegas Blvd., where a “Welcome to Downtown Las Vegas” sign was obliterated by a drunk driver.<\/p>\n

No timeline for completion of the welcome area or gateway arch has been announced.<\/p>\n

It’s also possible a timeline has been announced and we just ignored it. We’re defiant like that.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
