Fremont Street Experience
Since opening in December 1995, the much-anticipated Fremont Street
Experience has "turned up the wattage" in downtown Las Vegas every
night with spectacular computer generated Light and Sound shows. The
components of the Fremont Street Experience Light and Sound show
constitute a modern technological and engineering marvel, the only one
of its kind found anywhere in the world.
The space frame towers 90 feet above a four-block section of Fremont
Street and serves as a display system for the shows. The canopy
houses 2.1 million lights, capable of producing millions of color
combinations and 540,000 watts of concert-quality sound. The shows
are run by 36 computers and are accompanied by 218 speakers. In
addition, the canopy houses 180 computer-programmed high-intensity
strobe lights, 64 variable color lighting fixtures, and eight robotics mirrors
per block that pan and tilt to reflect light, all of which aid in the miraculous
display of each six minute Light and Sound show presentation.
The complex technology and special craftsmanship behind each show
make the Fremont Street Experience a must-see, one-of-a-kind attraction
in a city brimming with entertainment.
