BEHIND THE GLITZ: THE METAL THAT BUILT VEGAS
Las Vegas may be known for its dazzling lights and world-class entertainment, but behind the glitz and glamour, it’s metal construction that forms the backbone of the city’s iconic skyline.

As the city continues to evolve, new projects like the MSG Sphere and Fontainebleau push the boundaries of what’s possible in construction. These cutting-edge developments showcase the strength and versatility of metal, making it clear that Las Vegas is not just a playground for the entertainment industry, but also a hub for innovation in building design. Join us at METALCON 2025 to not only celebrate how metal construction continues to build the future in Las Vegas, but around the world.
