Fremont Street Experience

Price: Free

Location:  Downtown Las Vegas

 

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.

 

Fremont Street Experience Unveils Viva Vision

Dazzling Displays. Superior Sound. Viva Vision ! Beginning June 14, 2004 , the famous Fremont Street Experience Light and Sound show is set to reach new peaks of technological wonder with a brand new creation: Viva Vision ! Created by LG CNS Co., Ltd., the industry's foremost authority on dazzling, state-of-the-art light and animation display technology, this dazzling $17 million phenomena will delight visitors of all ages with larger-than-life animations, integrated live video feeds, and synchronized music – all delivered on a high-tech overhead canopy that extends the length of more than five football fields! Once the Vegas sun has set, visitors can peer upward to experience over 12.5 million synchronized LED modules offering crisp, high-resolution images and astounding special affects – all synched to a lively sound-track fed through a state-of-the-art, concert-quality sound system.

Both first-time visitors and those who have witnessed and enjoyed the original Fremont Street Experience Light and Sound Show will be amazed by the technological upgrades to this one-of-a-kind experience. Two brand new Viva Vision productions will kick off the unveiling of the new Light and Sound show: “The Drop,” a mythical underwater journey created by Hollywood design agency, Imaginary Forces; and “Area 51,” a peak at a fantastical alien world created by Fremont Street Experience's own design team. As always, the shows are free and can be viewed from just about any angle along the four-block pedestrian promenade.

Like the Fremont Street Experience itself – this is one Vegas tradition not to be missed.
