The pink elephant is appearing a bit sickly. Looks like someone tried to swing from his trunk, as it's halfway broken off. The chicken wire under the plaster is showing through on his tusks. Poor guy.
[Mary Cancilla, 07/29/2014]Just walked to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, and can confirm the Pink Elephant is still there. It is on the right side of Vegas Blvd. about 1/2 mile north of the Vegas sign. Appears it may be weathering a bit though.
[Randall Sharp, 11/17/2012]He has been gone several years. Same as the hotel. My sister and I drive into Vegas a lot and we still miss him.
[Beth Xavier, 01/26/2010]Debra Jane Seltzer points out that the profusion of photos taken of the elephant in 2009 on one popular photo site suggests that the elephant is still there!
