Vegas Stripped: Sign guy uses Sahara and Decatur as his personal stage — VIDEO

It’s a sure bet that casino CEOs don’t execute their jobs with the passion that Michael Meredith has as a sign holder for Metro PCS on Sahara and Decatur.

Meredith is one of many Los Angeles-area transplants here to establish himself, record an album and grow as an artist. As he works on his album with a producer from Summerlin, his day job has earned respect among locals. He dances in front of the Metro PCS sign like he’s dancing on the Axis stage at Planet Hollywood.

“I respect him so much because, when you’re feeling down, when you’re feeling bad, you walk by and he makes your day,” said a passerby who declined to give his name.
