Almost 50 years after she designed the diamond-shaped icon, Betty Willis finally is making a little extra cash off the “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign.
On Friday afternoon upstairs at the S2 Art downtown offices, Willis signed limited edition prints of a photograph of the landmark standing in the foreground of an ever-expanding Strip.
“I’m happy that I’m getting paid for this,” the 85-year-old Willis said. “It’s at a time when we need it.”
