Fremont Street – Las Vegas, Nevada – Part 2

Jim says:

A few Blog entries ago, I wrote about our daylight visit to Fremont Street…the old “strip” of Las Vegas. Last Night Mary and I attended the famous light show known as the Fremont Street Experience on the 1,500 foot projection screen. It was quite short yet quite a show!

Hare are some facts about this light show…
* The average Viva Vision light show is six minutes long.
* Viva Vision’s projection surface is currently the largest screen in the world, spanning 1,500 feet in length (That’s the size of five football fields)
* The screen contains 12.5 million synchronized LED lamps, including 180 strobes and eight robotic mirrors per block.
* The lamp life of the bulbs is 50,000 hours.
* Average daily attendance at the Fremont Street Experience is more than 25,000.
* Last year, nearly 19 million people visited downtown Las Vegas

Hare are some photos that I took…
