#48: Viva Las Vegas
This next image seems rather silly—a sign advertising another sign? Doesn’t that seem redundant?—until you realize that Las Vegas is a major tourist destination and there are probably a lot of people who genuinely want to go get pictures of themselves in front of the “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign.
So to me, what’s notable is not the sign itself but the fact that there are people who genuinely think that going to Las Vegas on vacation is fun. I grew up near Vegas; I’ve been there at least a dozen times. And if you’re someone who believes the hype that it’s a fun place to go on a trip, let me save you some time and money: Las Vegas is a grimy pit of despair, and you should vacation somewhere else. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
