Designed in the likeness of an iconic Las Vegas symbol, the green, yellow and red sign states: “Welcome to Little Ethiopia.” Las Vegas Valley’s Ethiopian community on Tuesday celebrated a historic milestone — the inauguration of Clark County’s first official cultural district. County officials attended a morning ceremony, which was followed by an outdoor festival at Clark High School. Commissioner Michael Naft helped to unveil a second sign, a brown and white street sign that signals the hub near Decatur Boulevard — between Twain and University avenues — as Little Ethiopia. The area is an epicenter that houses nearly 80 Ethiopian-owned businesses, where many of the more than 40,000 Ethiopians and Eritreans who call Southern Nevada home tend to congregate.
