text: We made a trip back to Vegas for Thanksgiving.  The weather was so nice, we had no choice but to head out for a few hours on the Harley.  Despite living in Vegas for years, no visit is complete without a cruise down the Strip, so that was how we ended our ride.\n\nI wish I could give the Las Vegas sign a five star rating, but for me this iconic spot isn't the same as it used to be.  It is just too accessible now.  There is always a massive crowd.  Long gone are the days of parking on the side of the road in the middle of the night, running across the six lane mega street to get a photo.  No longer do party buses park illegally in the turn lane and let the crazies jump off the bus for a quick snapshot  to memorialize an awesome night (not that I would know).\n\nNow there is a parking lot....The ease of access has increased sign traffic  immensely.  Useful?  Yes, but the lack of the Frogger-esque challenge of getting to the sign, and that fact that you have to wait in a line to take a picture, have diminished the fun and coolness factors exponentially.
