 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.
