Everyone is invited to watch these first three episodes of the documentary chronicling the history of our unique home.”
The Commission for the Las Vegas Centennial has established a grant program to support community initiatives that are of a historic nature, by utilizing the revenue generated from the special commemorative Las Vegas Centennial license plate.
The plate is available through the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles and features the famous “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign designed by Betty Whitehead Willis in 1959, which still stands in the median island south of Tropicana Avenue on Las Vegas Boulevard.
Since 2005, the commission has awarded more than $21 million in grants to projects like the Las Vegas Days Parade and Rodeo, as well as the restored, vintage neon signs that are in the medians on Las Vegas Boulevard downtown. The funds also have helped preserve the city’s history through projects at the Historic Westside School, the Neon Museum, and the Mob Museum.
