Many of YESCO’s contracts for the signs it manufactured were lease agreements that included service contracts for the life of the lease. When the lessee eventually removed the sign, the contract stipulated that it be returned to YESCO which either recycled the signs parts or retired the sign to a designated boneyard lot at the outskirts of Las Vegas (Spectacular – A History of Las Vegas Neon)
Vegas Pic of the week
This week’s winner from VintageLasVegas.com is another snapshot in time of Vegas under development. Specifically, the Mint and Lucky Casino. The date is April 18th, 1963 and the Mint tower has broken ground behind the casino at the bottom of the picture. Right across the street, in between the Golden Nugget and Nevada Club, Lucky Casino is installing their record-breaking marquee frontage that will reach 160 feet tall once complete. It would only have the crown of tallest sign in the city for a year before the Dune’s 180-foot Super Pylon was built on the strip.
