Las Vegas Sign Turns Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness | Community Spirit

The iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign is sporting a new color. It is now pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Clark County commissioners turned the lights from yellow to pink during a ceremony Monday.

The idea is to not only celebrate survivors and honor those who died from the disease, but to also remind everyone of the importance of early detection and regular examinations.

University Medical Center will be offering free clinical breast exams on a first-come, first-serve basis from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. October 24 at the UMC Cast Clinic, 1000 Shadow Lane.

The exam does not include a mammogram. For more information, call (702) 207-8265.
