We got at the top of the escalator and well we did a 360 and we counted nearly 50 signs,\u201d said Young. \u201cThe Allegiant spans 564 feet, that\u2019s 188 yards long. It doesn\u2019t look like that from a distance, but they are massive, massive signs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YESCO is also responsible for part of the recent signage revamp of the Delta Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou take signs for granted in some respect but every single one has to be meticulously designed and installed in a perfect way,\u201d said Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegas is home to some of the most photographed signs in the world, including the iconic \u2018Welcome to Las Vegas\u2019 sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kutv.com\/news\/local\/utah-company-builds-maintains-iconic-vegas-landmarks-including-sphere-allegiant-stadium\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yesco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/las-vegas-1024x744.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4164855\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>YESCO maintains the sign along with hundreds of others in and around the Vegas strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have our eyes on every sign in Las Vegas at least once a week, in some cases in constant where we have cameras installed on some of our large digital displays some of which are massive,\u201d said Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YESCO is virtually everywhere.
