Description

Viva Vision is an LED display "canopy", that runs along the Fremont Street Experience promenade from Main Street to Fourth Street. Holding the canopy aloft are 16 columns, each weighing 26,000 pounds and can hold up 400,000 pounds, and 43,000 struts.

A section comprising one fiftieth of the total canopy equals the size of the world’s current largest electric sign. Originally, nearly 2.1 million incandescent lights were housed in the canopy. With the completion of the $17 million upgrade, more than 12 million LED lamps illuminate the overhead canopy. The new LED upgrade was designed and engineered by LG Electronics, who is also the primary corporate sponsor of the canopy. Within the canopy itself are 220 speakers capable of producing 550,000 watts of sound.

Light & Sound Shows are presented nightly beginning at dusk. Some of the most popular shows include Born To Be Wild, Bad To The Bone, Don Maclean's American Pie, a tribute to Queen, KISS over Vegas, and "The Drop" which takes visitors on a journey that begins with one drop of water.
