Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas !
I've given the iconic sign a high contrast, 'in your face treatment' which seemed to suit the place itself.
From Wikipedia : "The Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign is a Las Vegas landmark funded in May 1959 and erected soon after by Western Neon. The sign was designed by Betty Willis at the request of Ted Rogich, a local salesman, who sold it to Clark County, Nevada.
The sign is located in the median at 5100 Las Vegas Boulevard South, north of the historic stone pillars of the old McCarran Airport on the east side, and across from the Bali Hai Golf Club and the (closed) Klondike Hotel & Casino on the west side. Some consider the sign to be the official southern end of the Las Vegas Strip. The sign, like most of the Strip, sits in Paradise and is located roughly 4 miles (6.4 km) south of the actual city limits of Las Vegas. (Such distinctions are usually ignored by both locals and tourists, who refer to the entire metro area as "Las Vegas".)"

Stunning sunlight that only lights up Lincoln briefly after sunrise.
The full inscription behind Lincoln reads : "In this temple, as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the Union, the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever."
This is one of a series of shots taken for a 'Day in the life of the Lincoln Memorial' project. Click here to see the other shots : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157603609979749

Since 1953, this Inglewood landmark has appeared in numerous music videos and films, including 'Mars Attacks !', in which it got blown up.
