WITH YOUR SECOND CUP OF COFFEE
In a town where people get married and divorced in a matter of hours with Elvis as the only witness few things have staying power, but the iconic sign that welcomes people to Sin City is one of them. The ‘Welcome to Las Vegas’ sign, with its bright lights and classic glamour was designed by Betty Willis in the late 1950s. Willis said in past interviews the sign needed to be as flashy and fabulous as the town it represented. She never copyrighted the sign insisting it belong to the public. In 2009, her work was marked on the National Register of Historic Places. Willis died last Sunday at the age of 91 of natural causes.
