About this episode
The episode discusses the significance of signage in Las Vegas and the companies that created its iconic neon signs.
It was said that people would rebuild their buildings to accommodate the biggest sign they could afford. That’s how important signage was, or how important it is. Las Vegas was the only town in the world whose skyline was made up of signs. So big, they were the first thing you’d see from a mile away. YESCO, Heath, Federal, Ad Art and SSI are just some of the names responsible for bringing those iconic signs to life and by doing so caused one element to be more important in the hearts of so many…NEON.
