Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua mate te wahine nana i whakaaro te tohu neon i manako ai ki te tini o ngā manuhiri ki 'Las Vegas whakamiharo' mai i te tau 1959. Ko Betty Willis, i whakawhiwhia ki te hoahoa i te tohu 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas', i mate i roto i tona whare i Overton, Nevada, i te Ratapu, e ai ki te korero i runga i te paetukutuku a Virgin Valley & Moapa Valley Mortuaries. Ko te tohu o te kaitoi 91-tau-tau e maha ana te kape kei te waenganui o Las Vegas Boulevard ki te tonga o te Strip. Betty Willis i roto i tona whare Las Vegas i te Hakihea 30, 2004, me te tauira o te tohu i hangaia e ia i te tau 1959 hei kukume i nga turuhi. I mate ia i te 91 o ona tau. Ko te tohu neon 'Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas', i whakaahuatia i konei i roto i nga rama rama mawhero hei whakanui i te marama mohio ki te mate pukupuku u, i noho hei mea nui ki te hunga turuhi. 'Ko te tohu tino rongonui i te ao,' e ai ki a Danielle Kelly, kaiwhakahaere whakahaere o The Neon Museum i Las Vegas, kei reira nga tohu o nga mahi o mua o Sin City kua reti me te whakaatu. Ko te hoahoa o te tohu powhiri, kaore nei he rangatira mana pupuri, kua noho hei taputapu mo nga haerenga haerenga mai i Vegas me nga waahi katoa, e kii ana a Kelly. He T-shirt a ia no San Francisco me te ingoa o taua taone i hurihia hei Las Vegas i mua i te ahua mohio o te tohu, i kii ia. 'Ko te mea e aroha ana te katoa ki taua tohu me tana hoahoa i muri i enei tau katoa he tohu ki nga taranata a Betty,' te kaikawe o Clark County a Steve Sisolak. 'Kāore pea he tohu nui ake o Las Vegas i tērā tohu.' I te tau 2009, i whakauruhia te tohu ki te Rehita a Motu o nga Taone Taone. I kī a Kelly ko ngā hoahoa a Willis he mea whakamiharo, ā, i kī ia he rite tōna āhua ki te wahine rangatira kaha, tere kōrero i roto i ngā kiriata pēnei i 'His Girl Friday.' Ka mea a Kelly ki te aroha, 'He iti te tote, he iti te whakahawea.' 'I whakaaro ahau he wahine tawhito ia.' I whanau a Willis i te tau 1923 i te taone iti o Overton ki te raki-rawhiti o Las Vegas, i mahi ia hei kaitoi tauhokohoko i Los Angeles i mua i tana hokinga ki Las Vegas, i reira ia i mahi ai mo nga kamupene tohu me te hoahoa i te tohu rongonui o nga rama rama. Kua tino rongonui te tohu...
I hangaia e te kaitoi a Betty Willis te tohu neon rongonui i te tau 1959. Ko te tohu kei waenganui o Las Vegas Boulevard ki te tonga o te Strip, he mea rongonui ki nga turuhi. I te tau 2009 i whakaurua ki te National Register of Historic Places. Kaore he tangata e whai mana ana ki te tohu, na reira he maha nga wa e whakaahuatia ana, ka puta mai i runga i nga momo taonga whakamaharatanga i Las Vegas me etahi atu waahi.
