Las Vegas, Nevada – (July 13, 2009) – Las Vegas architect Brandon Y. K. Maldonado of YWS Architects has become a licensed architect, joining the current roster of six licensed architects at YWS, one of the nation’s leaders in leisure design and architecture.

Having joined YWS in October of 2006, Maldonado’s architectural talents were immediately on display with his work on Fontainebleau and Sam’s Town.  

“I came here from my home in Hilo, Hawaii, and after finishing my education at UNLV, I joined YWS after seeing the inspiring work they accomplished on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Maldonado.  “YWS is unique in that they have the capability to build a mega-resort or casino from the ground up.  Not many firms can say that.”
