The Las Vegas company behind some of the most iconic casino signs

Nevada Built is the company behind some of the most iconic casino signs on the Las Vegas strip.

YESCO is the Las Vegas company behind some of the most iconic casino signs. Jeff Young estimates that as much as 80 percent of Las Vegas signs are built by YESCO.

The latest version of the Hard Rock guitar is 65 feet tall and weighs tens of thousands of pounds. It will have to be able to stand up to 100 mph winds.

Wind, water and electricity are the biggest challenges for the engineers. The Las Vegas company behind some of the most iconic casino signs is Todd Young.

The Young Electric Sign Company started more than 100 years ago by Jeff's grandfather outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. It has close to one thousand employees including 350 workers in Las Vegas. The company has five main manufacturing facilities and this one in Vegas is the largest.

YESCO is the Las Vegas company behind some of the most iconic casino signs. They are evolving their technology to keep pace with new technology and increasing customer demands. The newest projects are bigger than anything they've ever done.
