Las Vegas is a small, scattered part of Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record, and that is the useful finding. No district-wide order anchors it. Academies, a Christian academy, a church and a Torah school sit on the list beside a trade show, the convention center and a sports pub. I read it as a record of individual decisions, not a market trend.

The models tell the same story. Statewide, our Nevada record counts 25 distinct models, each counted by its LX equivalent, and the LX2655 accounts for 5 of those records. In Las Vegas, three models carry this article: the 2655, listed today as the LX2655, and the LX2330 indoors, plus the LX3630 on a football field. Each is described from its own spec sheet, with no figure carried from one model to another.

The rules matter as much as the record. NFHS now resets high school team fouls every quarter, so a gym purchase starts with what the display has to track. My aim is direct: show what shipped, say what the record does not show, and give a buyer the checks that follow.

What does Electro-Mech's Las Vegas sales and shipping record show?

Electro-Mech's Las Vegas sales and shipping record lists 11 entries at 10 organizations, shipped from 2001 to 2025: 7 basketball, 3 football and 1 baseball, with no single dominant model.

Stadium headlines make Las Vegas sound like a market for stadium-scale displays, but the record of what we shipped there is modest and precise. Our data comes from the Las Vegas page of our sales and shipping record, which prints these counts so any reader can check them. An entry is one scoreboard or display sold and shipped to a Las Vegas address. The record does not say whether it was installed, whether it is still in use, why it was bought or what it replaced.

I read any city record with three plain questions, in this order:

• How many entries? Few enough here to read line by line, organization by organization.
• Which sports? Basketball carries the record, football is a distant second and baseball appears once.
• Which models repeat? Almost none, so there is no single Las Vegas model to rank.

The common assumption is that a city this size buys scoreboards through one large public district. Not necessarily. The organizations on this record are academies, a church, event venues and private buyers, each placing its own order.

Set against the state, the city is a small slice. Our review of the Nevada page of the same record shows 52 records across 13 cities and towns, ranking Nevada #39 of 50 states by units shipped. Basketball leads there as well, with 26 records, ahead of baseball at 16 and football at 7.

According to Sports Venue Calculator's 2022 LED scoreboard buyer's guide, basketball scoreboards show scores, game time, shot clock and team fouls, while football and soccer scoreboards focus on scores and time. Taken together, these 3 sources point one way. In Las Vegas and across Nevada, the gym sets the pattern. The implication is plain: most entries on this record answer a basketball question, not a stadium one. In practice, a buyer here should start with the indoor range on our basketball scoreboards page and work outward only if the field needs a display too.

Who buys scoreboards in Las Vegas?

Las Vegas buyers include two academies, a Christian academy, a church and a Torah school, plus a trade show, the convention center, a sports pub, a contractor and a private buyer.

The counts say what was shipped; the buyer list says who took it, and that list is what sets Las Vegas apart. Our review of the Las Vegas record shows two outdoor football scoreboards shipped on the same day, May 13, 2024: an LX3630 to Academica Nevada and an LX3250 to Somerset Academy, both in Las Vegas, Nevada. The latest named entry is a set of LX2160 shot clocks for Awaken Christian Academy in Las Vegas, shipped October 10, 2025. Shot clocks are accessory displays normally sold in pairs, not scoreboards.

The earliest named entry is a 2655 basketball scoreboard for Calvary Chapel - Las Vegas, shipped October 16, 2001. A second 2655 basketball scoreboard, shipped September 8, 2011, is listed under a contractor. The record does not say which building either one went to.

The rest of the list is the finding that belongs to this city. A trade show took two entries, one baseball and one basketball. The convention center took an LX2330. A sports pub took an LX3120, a portable football display. The remaining entries sit under a Torah school and a private buyer. Across these unnamed buyers, the record's models also include the 1050, 2330 and 2350; ship dates for those entries are not given here, and the record does not say how any of these buyers used what they received.

Each of these buyers asks something different of a display:

• Schools and the church need a scoreboard that keeps accurate score and time for players and officials, game after game; spectators come second.
• The convention center needs a display it can hang in a hall. Our data, from the LX2330 spec sheet, lists mounting hardware for attaching the cabinet to a wall.
• The sports pub needs something that suits a room with no court or field, which is what a portable display is for.

According to Sports Venue Calculator's 2022 LED scoreboard buyer's guide, fixed-digit scoreboards do not have a steep learning curve to operate. In practice, event and hospitality buyers need a display any operator can run on short notice. The implication is that simple operation matters well beyond the gym. Schools weighing a field display next can compare the outdoor models on our football scoreboards page.

Where can a buyer study each featured model before ordering?

Each featured model has its own model page and spec sheet on electro-mech.com, and those two documents are the place to confirm options before a quote is written.

The documents differ in useful detail. The LX2655 spec sheet lists automotive grade baked on enamel based paint on the scoreboard face as standard, with Double Bonus Indicators as an option. The LX3630 sheet lists ID panels that mount above, below or beside the scoreboard, plus Stadium Sound System packages. The LX2330 sheet offers ID panels built into the left or right side of the cabinet.

I would treat the spec sheets as the primary reference, ahead of any photo or video. Read the optional equipment list as carefully as the standard one. A model's options show what the display can become in your gym or stadium.

Which scoreboard models appear more than once in the Las Vegas record?

Only two models repeat in Las Vegas: the 2655, listed twice, and the LX2330, listed once under that number and once as the 2330. Every other entry is a different model.

Knowing who bought leads to what they bought, and here the record declines to name a favorite. The city page prints the 2330 and the LX2330 on separate lines. Our state pages count a model together with its variants, and I apply the same convention here. A variant is the same scoreboard sold under an older number or with a suffix, such as -ETN for Electronic Team Names. Counted that way, the 2655 and the LX2330 are the only models on the list twice. What this tells us is that no model won Las Vegas on volume. Two entries apiece is a coincidence of buyers, not a trend.

The record lists both 2655 entries under the older number. The figures below come from the current LX2655 documents, so they describe that model rather than the scoreboards shipped under the earlier name. Our data, from the LX2655 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08), defines an indoor basketball display with reversible captions for volleyball or wrestling, and the model page calls the LX2655 our most popular model for Basketball. The LX2655-ETN has its own spec sheet and a higher draw. A 2.2-amp figure sometimes appears for the LX2655 alone; the spec sheets assign it to the -ETN.

The LX2330 plays a different role. Its model page suggests it as a secondary display where a facility has chosen a larger model for the primary location. Whether either Las Vegas buyer used it that way, the record does not say. Both spec sheets list an internal horn, fifty programmable brightness levels and a full-sized 37-key control console with LCD display. Our scoreboard manuals page is where I would start before weighing the two models against each other. In practice, the choice between them turns on the room, not on a neighbor's order.

A request tied to the documents is easier to answer. Here is how I would write one for an indoor gym.

model: LX2330                 # standard form, not a variant
listed_use: Indoor, Basketball / Multi-Sport
foul_rule: NFHS Rule 4-8-1, team fouls by quarter
record_lookup: LX equivalent  # 2350, 2350-C and LX2350 count as one model

Line 3 carries the most weight. The rule changed, and the request should say so.

What does the LX3630 offer a high school football stadium?

The LX3630 is an outdoor football scoreboard, 20 ft x 8 ft and 500 lb, and Academica Nevada is the one Las Vegas buyer on record with one.

The two repeat models are both indoor. The record's single LX3630 moves the story outdoors, to football. According to our data from the LX3630 model page, the cabinet is a "slimmed down" package that still carries "full-sized 24-inch digits for Scores, Time, Downs, To Go, Ball On, and Qtr." Our review of the LX3630 spec sheet (Rev 2.0.2017.06.08) adds 18-inch Time Outs Left digits and 10-inch football-shaped Possession indicators, in amber or red. The implication is that a smaller cabinet does not mean smaller score digits.

The spec sheet describes the build in outdoor terms. A double cabinet design uses heavy duty extruded aluminum framing. The LED display circuits are conformal coated for outdoor use, and the horn is an internally mounted trumpet horn. The mounting hardware is made for permanent installation on posts without the need for on site fabrication. A hardwired run can use up to 1,000 feet of data cable, and the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system is the wireless option.

Team names are an electrical choice as well as a graphic one. The model page says there is "just enough room" for them, and the LX3630-ETN gives up the 11-inch caption size to fit them. The record shows the LX3630 shipped to Academica Nevada. It does not say which field the scoreboard went to, whether it carried team names, or whether it stands there today.

Game timing is the other half of a football purchase. NFHS football runs a 40-second play clock in many cases, keeps 25 seconds in most cases after an official's time-out, and sets 40 seconds after an injury to a defensive player or a defensive equipment issue. The LX3630 spec sheet lists no play clock among its digits. A program that wants that count visible to players would add a separate play clock display, which Electro-Mech sells as its own product. In practice, the scoreboard and the play clock are separate decisions. I would judge any football scoreboard first on whether players and officials can read the time and the down from the field.

What should a Las Vegas school or rec program check before choosing a gym or field scoreboard?

Start with the current rules: high school team fouls now reset each quarter. Then check shot clock plans, the bid process and each model's own spec sheet before ordering.

With the models described, the question turns from what others bought to what a new buyer should check. The record can answer the first. The second takes a short list, and I would work through it in this order.

1. Match the foul display to the current rule. Since the 2023-24 season, NFHS Rule 4-8-1 awards two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The one-and-one is gone. Ask how the model you are considering shows team fouls and bonus under that count.
2. Settle the shot clock question early. NFHS approved the 35-second shot clock by state adoption for the 2022-23 season, so each state association decides whether to adopt one. The evidence here does not show Nevada's decision, and the state association is the place to confirm it. Shot clocks are accessory displays normally sold in pairs; the only pair in the Las Vegas record went to Awaken Christian Academy.
3. Plan the second court. In a February 2026 r/basketballcoach thread, one coach described a gym with 2 courts and a scoreboard on only one, with someone flipping an "old school number board" at the other. Another recommended GameChanger, where one person keeps score and everyone else follows on their phones. Those workarounds keep a practice court moving. They do not give players and officials a shared clock they can all see, which is a scoreboard's first job, so a fixed display is the next step once real games move to that court.
4. Write the specification from the spec sheet if the purchase goes to bid. Livingston Parish Public Schools in Louisiana posted BID 27-01 for an LED scoreboard at Live Oak High School on July 16, 2026. Its listing set a mandatory pre-bid conference at the Football Field Entry Gate and required the scoreboard to meet "all specifications outlined in the bid packet." That is one district in another state, not a Las Vegas pattern. Still, I would write any public specification figure by figure from a model's published spec sheet.
5. Know what the record cannot tell you. The sales and shipping record shows what shipped and when. It does not show what a neighbor's scoreboard cost, how it has held up, or whether it is still in use. Those answers come from a quote request and a conversation with the Electro-Mech team.

For a buyer, the rulebook comes before the record. A rule change, in other words, is a display question first.

What does the Las Vegas record mean for the next buyer?

Eleven entries spread across schools, a church, a show floor and a sports pub give no model to copy. The next buyer starts from the room and the rules.

The record will not choose for you. Each order in it stands on its own documents, and that is the habit I would carry forward. Our review of the LX2330 spec sheet shows why: it lists a data output port on the cabinet that supports daisy chaining additional displays, plus a goal light output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits. A gym that may add a display later can plan for it on day one.

My next step for any Las Vegas program is concrete. Confirm how the gym will count fouls under NFHS rules, match a model's spec sheet to the room, and ask the Electro-Mech team for a quote built on that sheet.
