Woman who designed "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign dies
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The woman who came up with a neon sign that has welcomed countless visitors to "fabulous Las Vegas" since 1959 has died.
Betty Willis, credited with designing the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign, died in her Overton, Nevada, home on Sunday, according to an obituary on the Virgin Valley & Moapa Valley Mortuaries' website.
The 91-year-old artist's often-copied sign sits in a median in the middle of Las Vegas Boulevard south of the Strip.
"It's the most recognizable icon in the world," said Danielle Kelly, executive director of The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, where the signs of Sin City's past are retired and on display.
The welcome sign's design, which doesn't have a copyright owner, has become a fixture on travel tchotchkes from Vegas and everywhere else, Kelly said. She has a T-shirt from San Francisco with that city's name swapped in for Las Vegas in front of the sign's recognizable shape, she said.
"The fact that everyone loves that sign and its design after all these years is a testament to Betty's talents," Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said. "There is probably no bigger Las Vegas icon than that sign."
In 2009, the sign was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Kelly called Willis' designs dazzling and said her personality was akin to a strong, fast-talking female lead in movies like "His Girl Friday."
"A little salty, a little irreverent," Kelly said with fondness. "I thought she was a classic broad."
Willis, born in 1923 in the small town of Overton northeast of Las Vegas, worked as a commercial artist in Los Angeles before returning to Las Vegas, where she worked for sign companies and designed the famous diamond-shaped beacon of flashing lights.
The sign has become such a popular photo backdrop that a parking lot for cars and tour buses in the middle of the street was expanded in 2012.
Willis also designed neon signs for the Moulin Rouge casino and Blue Angel motel in Las Vegas.

CENTRA BAR - Luxor Hotel
APRIL 10 Friday, 2015
6:00 PM - 8:00PM
Same place as our 2013 Meet & Greet, for those who showed up. The Vegas Meet is never as large as Orlando I don't expect a large crowd and that's because well.....there's just too much to do in Vegas! BUT, we'll have our annual meet at the Centra Bar Located right in the middle of the Luxor Hotel casino floor.
Look for us, Kirstie & I will be there with beverage in hand, we'll be the group with bright LED "blinkies" attached to our shirts, necks, or fingers. Come on by and introduce yourself, and of course have a beverage!
After the Meet we'll go and get into trouble somewhere, just not sure where.....but it'll happen!!!
Please chime in if you plan on stopping by so I have an idea about how many blinkies to bring with me or you can always email us admin@thesignsyndicate.com or call us 858-880-1400
Centra Bar Map, so you can find it/us!
What it looks like the last time we were there, things change!

Apparently Jewelite is out of their Gold Trim Cap until July / August, so we've been getting a lot of calls from large Sign Shops for orders of Plasco's 1" Gold to complete a rather large Sign Program. So I dug out a Jewelite Sample of Gold, compared to Plasco's Gold Channel Letter Trim Cap. In the comparison, Plasco has just a more nicer gold color, Jewelite looks more of a washed out metal coloring with a little gold in it, IMO. If you're looking to see the Gold difference between the two to substitute, I think using Plasco 1" Gold Trim Cap will make those signs look so much better.

Over the weekend we had sent out a Email to all members about the Westrim Neon Glass Housings, apparently it attempted to go out three times at once and after a short time it over loaded the system and was shut down. There were still more wrinkles that had to be ironed out since the big upgrade, and this was one of them. It's fixed now and we sent out that Email this morning....hopefully it's going out okay All The Best Erik
