<P> Betty Willis intended to design a sign that was unique in its shape , style and content . Young Electric Sign Company ( YESCO ) currently owns the sign , which leases it to Clark County , while the design itself is in the public domain . The design of the sign was never copyrighted since Willis considered this her gift to the city and wanted it to be in the public domain . This has resulted in the image being ubiquitous on Las Vegas souvenirs . </P>
