Skegness is officially Skeg Vegas!

Our nearest seaside resort has always been nicknamed Skeg Vegas and now it's official, love it 😂

Already recouped reported £36k cost going by the news coverage.

Some suggestions of copyright infringement, though the actual Las Vegas sign design is public domain so not an issue.

The sad thing is about this , the person who paid for it has barely had any recognition.

The sign is located at the Stock Car track in Skegness , and it was paid for by the track owner Rob Speak . We’ve known him for years .
He’s spent millions on renovated the stock car track and this was just a fun addition .

It’s not actually in Skegness either.. so people flocking to the seaside won’t find it there , it’s a few miles away in a little village called Orby .

I think they should sue the sign maker, they have incorrectly spelled the word skanky

I’ll be sure to pass your comments on to the owner when I’m there in a few weeks ;-)

I love this sign! Every time it was on the news yesterday it made me smile. It was lovely to see all the people having a good time. We live near Southend and the hot weather has seen the town and the beach flooded with people, just wonderful to see after the miserable time everyone has been through. Some of the reporting was a bit snarky, it makes me so cross when people get snobby and poke fun at ordinary folk having a good time.
