Vandalism at the "Welcome to Las Vegas" Sign

Overnight, somebody vandalized the Welcome To Las Vegas sign on the south end of The Strip.

This is high enough that somebody had to use a ladder, or get on somebody's shoulders to do this. Looks like time for a security camera at the sign.

Here's the picture of the damage: http://twitpic.com/a8n72

It's interesting that 20 years ago that sign was a forgotten part of Las Vegas. It had holes it in, letters were missing, it was a mess. A local radio station (I believe KOMP) took up donations to refurbish the sign and since then it's become a major landmark. There is now even a small parking lot in the middle of The Strip where people can park to take pictures at the sign.
