2000 Las Vegas Blvd. South
The tower's your place to take snapshots, though its breathtaking view does challenge shutterbugs. Do you pack a telephoto lens? Or do you just snap a photo of friends and family members on the outdoor deck, with all that great beyond sprawled below them? If so, don't keep telling them to back up. (Just kidding, we know there's a rail). The time-honored million-dollar display at Binion's remains a sentimental second for those who figure that posing next to a horseshoe full of money can't hurt their luck.
Our Pick: WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS SIGN
Las Vegas Boulevard South
The opening of Mandalay Bay will likely bring more traffic to the extreme south end of the Strip by the old airport. But the sign is otherwise accessible without the need for ladders or special camera equipment. For decades the familiar shape has been instantly recognizable proof that you've been to Vegas, baby!
