The
Fremont Street Experience is an exciting pedestrian promenade
located in the neon center of Las Vegas, surrounded by ten
casino/hotels. The Fremont Street Experience is a public-private
partnership between the City of Las Vegas and the Fremont
Street Experience Limited Liability Company, with contributions
from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The
$70 million project resulted in this award winning, must-see
attraction.
The Fremont
Street Experience has created an entirely new commercial and
entertainment venue. This beautifully landscaped area includes
a misting system, retail carts, kiosks, and FREE mall entertainment.
Plus, one-of-a-kind Light and Sound Shows derived from over
2 million lights and 540,000 watts of concert quality sound,
presented each night at dusk.
 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.
