Interested in a hot item? Check it out at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). It's our own Centennial license plate that you've been seeing all over town. You too can look cool and donate to a good cause at the same time.

The plates feature 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 on the Strip.

The money from the sale of this specialized plate has been paying for public events in 2005 commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of Las Vegas. As costs for the Centennial wind down, profit from the specialized license will go into a fund for historic preservation efforts.

Why not order your Centennial license plate now? Go on-line, link to the DMV and place your order. The fee for the plate is $61; the Centennial Celebration receives $25 of that amount. Everyone wins! You look cool with your fabulous new plates, and historical preservation benefits from your investment.
