Since then, the In a city defined by its neon, keeping it lit is quite a chore. As service manager for Young Electric Sign Company, the larg company has done signs for just o and about every many restaurants and businesses. hotel-casin- Hundreds of the old signs were stashed in a sign grave yard until the company began getting rid of them last year. The most prized signs, including a red one from Anderson Dairy, a gold genie lamp from the old Aladdin resort and a cowboy on a horse that once adorned die Hacienda, are now found in a budding neon museum downtown. Some casinos, such as Mirage Resorts, shun neon altogether. YESCO is continually being pressed for new designs, such as the giant guitars adorning the Hard Rock Hotel and the nearby I lard Rock Cafe. The company also maintains the two million bulbs in the Fremont Street Experience, downtowns $70 million light and sound extravaganza.

If he spies a light not looking quite right or skewing the animated characters a bit, he climbs atop the canopy to fix the problem. if m, Ever wonder why you never see anyone replacing any bulbs? YESCO employees are out 21 hours a day fixing and replacing bulbs. They spot and fix them so fast many people dont notice. This is advertising, Hendricks said. How would your feel if you opened up your Sunday paper and half the ad was missing? Just how many bulbs is the company in charge of? Who knows. The Strip is changing so fast that by the time you got done counting light bulbs, youd have to turn around and start all over again, said Steve Weeks, assistant division manager for YLS-CO. Hendricks also has some rath er odd stories to tell about the bulb business. One casino executive, whom he declined to name, is rather superstitious about luck and bumed-ou- t bulbs. If a high-rollis doing well at the tables and a bulb or panel of neon is burned out, he calls YESCO and wants the lights fixed immediately. If the player is doing poorly, the executive might call and request the lights fixed anyway, thinking the players luck will change. They try and tie luck to signs and lighting, Hendricks said. On this night, after a quick cruise down the Strip and a stop downtown, Hendricks has made notes of the next days repairs and is prepared to call it a night. He said he looks forward to climbing into bed and, at least until tomorrow, turning out the lights. Pi Davis Hospital and Medical Center i?
