Everybody Here Reads Signs.
Las Vegas is the one town in America where nobody has to be convinced a lit sign works. The whole valley was built on that idea. But most businesses here are not on the Strip — they are on Rainbow, on Sahara, out in the Southwest, in a suite off the 215. Our prepared DIY LED sign kits ship to those addresses with the LEDs already mounted in the frame.
You do not need a full-service sign company to get lit up. We weld the aluminum cabinet to your size and ship it in sections. You assemble it, mount it, hire out the electrical, and keep up to 60% depending on your project. The cabinet is the same one either way.
The Kit, And The Price Difference
Shipping To Las Vegas And Every Town Around It
Kits ship to Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Spring Valley, Paradise, Enterprise, Boulder City and Sunrise Manor — and everywhere in between. If FedEx delivers there, your sign kit can too.
This valley trained a few million people to look up and read whatever is glowing. That habit does not stop at the Strip — it follows customers out to the neighborhood centers where most of them actually spend their money on a Tuesday. A lit cabinet on a Clark County arterial is competing in a town with high standards, so build it the right size for the frontage. Confirm the sign rules for your exact address and get the approved dimensions in writing first.
Every prepared kit includes: an aluminum frame cut to your size with welded corners, LEDs mounted inside, and a 12-volt power supply with wiring hardware as listed in your written quote. Sign faces and graphics are available separately through DIY Graphics.
How Your Kit Gets To Las Vegas
Las Vegas is a straightforward ground address, and roughly 95% of our kits ship FedEx Ground rather than freight. That matters in a valley where a lot of small businesses sit in multi-tenant centers with shared loading and no dock at all. The boxes come in on the same daily route that already serves your suite.
What shows up. Four long boxes for a standard cabinet, six on larger kits where splice joints keep the frame inside ground shipping limits. The welded sections arrive cut to your size with the LEDs already mounted inside, and the power supply and mounting hardware are packed in with them — one delivery, no second shipment to track. The frame, the mounted LEDs, the power supply and the hardware all arrive together.
Delivery day. Nothing to arrange. No liftgate, no pallet, no appointment window blocking a morning. In a valley full of 24-hour operations and businesses that never really close, not having to stop and take a freight delivery is worth something. One person can move the boxes into the back and get on with the day, and nothing about the delivery interrupts a shift.
Open the boxes the day they land. Look the sections over even if the cartons look perfect, and do it before install day rather than the morning of. Photograph anything crushed, torn or bent and keep the packaging exactly as it arrived — that is what a carrier claim is built on. Finding a problem the day a box shows up is a phone call; finding it with a crew standing on a ladder is a lost day.
Where to put it. Desert conditions are easy on aluminum — it does not rust and it handles the heat. The LEDs and the power supply still belong indoors until install day, and there is a second reason here: summer monsoon storms roll through fast, and blowing dust and sudden rain will find any box left sitting outside the door.
Measure Twice. Order Once.
Your kit is cut to a size, welded, and pre-lit before it ships, so the size has to be right the first time. In Las Vegas that means three phone calls before you order, not after.
1. Ask what you're allowed
Figure out your jurisdiction before anything else, because this valley splits in a way that surprises people. The City of Las Vegas covers only part of it — large stretches, including the Strip corridor, sit in unincorporated Clark County, and Henderson and North Las Vegas are separate cities with separate codes. Start with whichever one actually reviews your address. Ask for the maximum sign area and height for your zoning district, whether your sign counts as wall-mounted or freestanding, and what setback applies. Sign area is usually tied to your building frontage, so the answer is specific to your address — not to the block or to the business next door.
2. Ask your landlord
If you're in a plaza or center, the landlord's sign criteria sit on top of the city code and are often stricter. Cabinet depth, face color, letter height and mounting method are all commonly spelled out. Get the criteria sheet in writing before you pick a size — it is cheaper than rebuilding a cabinet that the center won't approve.
3. Ask about engineering and wiring
A freestanding or pole sign in the valley generally requires structural and foundation drawings sealed by a Nevada-licensed engineer, sized for local wind requirements. An illuminated sign commonly needs a separate electrical permit alongside the sign permit, and some corridors carry additional design standards. Ask what submittals your jurisdiction expects before you set a size. Plan on a licensed electrician for the final hookup and inspection either way. We build the cabinet; the permit, the footing, the disconnect and the sign-off are local work done by local people.
Straight Answers For Las Vegas Businesses
My address says Las Vegas but I am told it is county. Which is it?
That is extremely common here, and it changes who issues your permit. Plenty of businesses with a Las Vegas mailing address are actually in unincorporated Clark County. Confirm the reviewing jurisdiction before you pay for anything, because their sign standards and approved sizes are not identical.
Can I do a double-sided sign for a corner lot?
Yes. The same frame supports single-sided or double-sided, so tell us which you want when you request the quote and we will size the LED layout and the power supply for it. On a corner where traffic approaches from two directions, double-sided is usually worth the difference.
Is a sign permit required in Las Vegas?
Assume so. Sign permits generally go through the City of Las Vegas inside city limits, or Clark County if your address is unincorporated, and an illuminated sign commonly needs its own electrical permit in addition. Center management may also have sign criteria that are tighter than the code. Get the approved size in writing before you order, since we weld the cabinet to it.
Who connects the power?
A licensed electrician handles that. Our kits are not UL listed, and the hookup to building power is permitted, inspected work in Clark County. Everything up to that point is yours — bolting the sections square, mounting the cabinet, setting the faces. Get an electrician's number early so the last step does not become the long one.
