Conceived and designed by Selbert Perkins Design and fabricated and installed by YESCO, the 100-year-old company synonymous with Las Vegas\u2019 most iconic signs, the archway marks travelers\u2019 official arrival into the City of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLas Vegas is known worldwide as the getaway for the best in entertainment, fun, dining and convention business,\u201d Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman said. \u201cWhat better way to invite everyone into historic downtown than by this passing through this massive, new archway into the heart of a revitalized Las Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWard 3 is a dynamic part of the city of Las Vegas and I am so excited to represent the home of this beautiful new gateway,\u201d Ward 3 Councilwoman Olivia Diaz said. \u201cI am sure these iconic arches will become synonymous with the fun and excitement of our city, as well as being a point of community pride for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blue illuminated arches form a towering gateway to the city\u2019s burgeoning Downtown and feature a pink, retro-inspired Las Vegas emblem suspended above the boulevard. While the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign at the south end of the Strip enjoys world renown, many people do not realize it lies outside the City of Las Vegas\u2019 boundaries in unincorporated Clark County, Nevada. The new, brightly lit, Gateway Arches will welcome visitors to the city of Las Vegas as they travel north on Las Vegas Boulevard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYESCO has a long history of fabricating, installing and maintaining Las Vegas\u2019 most internationally recognizable signs, and the Gateway Arches represent the newest monumental addition to that portfolio,\u201d said Jeff Young, senior vice president and chief marketing officer of YESCO. \u201cThis project is history in the making, and we\u2019re proud to have partnered with the City of Las Vegas and Selbert Perkins Design to bring it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yesco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Las-Vegas-Blvd-Gateway-Arches-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4161577\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Added Stephen Thayer, vice president and general manager at The STRAT, \u201cThe Gateway Arches are a striking landmark to designate what has long been the gateway from the Las Vegas Strip to the City of Las Vegas. We are thrilled that this beautiful monument has been erected just steps away from our iconic tower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSelbert Perkins Design has been designing city gateways, public art and landmarks for over 30 years. We are honored to have worked with the City of Las Vegas to design its newest gateway which welcomes all to historic downtown,\u201d said Robin Perkins, partner of Selbert Perkins Design. \u201cOur thanks to YESCO for fabricating and installing this complex work.
