Fremont Street is the second most famous street in Las Vegas, Nevada after the Las Vegas Strip. Located in the heart of the downtown casino corridor, it is the address for many famous casinos such as Binion's Horseshoe, Eldorado Club, Fremont Hotel and Casino, Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, Golden Nugget, The Mint, and the Pioneer Club.
Fremont Street Experience located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas on the historic street that started it all. The world-famous, one-of-a-kind entertainment venue is home to Viva Vision, the biggest big screen on the planet. More than 12 million lights in the Viva Vision canopy and 550,000 watts of concert quality sound pumped to speakers throughout the venue produce an incredible array of eye-popping imagery and heart pounding music. Viva Vision shows appear nightly on the hour beginning at dusk and are free and open to the public. The giant LED screen towers 90-feet above a pedestrian mall lined with unique retail shopping kiosks and two permanent performance stages. Ten legendary casinos line Fremont Street Experience with more than 60 restaurants and thousands of loose slots. Free concerts, special events, and roaming street performers entertain the nearly 17 million visitors who come to experience the vintage Vegas attraction each year.
Prior to the construction of the Fremont Street Experience, the western end of Fremont Street was the picture of Las Vegas that was included in virtually every television show and movie that wanted to display the lights of Las Vegas. The abundance of neon earned the street the nickname of Glitter Gulch.

 Freemont St. Light Show by kymbanmLeave a Comment

 Las Vegas by Dutchnatasja
You hear a musical heartbeat and lookup as the metal canopy of lights above you explodes with sound and color. When those lights go on, all of the casino and shop lights turn dark. Every night there is a high-tech light-and-laser show (the canopy is equipped with more than 2.1 million lights) enhanced by a concert-hall-quality sound system. It comes toward you and goes past your head at incredible speed.
The Fremont Street Experience includes "Odyssey: The Illuminating Journey," which travels from the rain forest to the urban jungle, "Dancing in the Street," a musical medley of songs by The Supremes, Smokey Robinson and Aretha Franklin, as well as tributes to Vegas legends, country music and classic rock. New to the lineup are "Area 51," in which earthlings go head-to-head with a fleet of aliens and "The Drop," a psychedelic adventure kicked off by a single drop of water.
Amazing what electronics can do these days.

Located in the heart of downtown Las Vegas (in other words, not on the Strip) is the amazing Fremont Street Experience. Casino lined Fremont Street has been topped with a 427m long canopy which is home to (borrowed from the website) "Viva Vision, the biggest big screen on the planet. More than 12 million lights in the Viva Vision canopy and 550,000 watts of concert quality sound pumped to speakers throughout the venue produce an incredible array of eye-popping imagery and heart pounding music."
This captivating sound and light show plays hourly, between dusk and midnight. It is very loud and very bright. Check out the photos to try and get an idea.
Also along the street are old-style casinos, their facades covered in flashing lights and massive neon signs. There is a large stage where a band was playing loudly. Oh, and there was a motorbike display which involved bikes spinning around inside a metal globe - hard to explain and hard to see from the photo, but at one stage there were three guys on full-size bikes riding around inside the globe, some how managing not to smash into each other.
This part of town is really worth a look, so jump in a taxi from the Strip and come and spend some time one evening experiencing Fremont Street. Leave a Comment

Freemont Business owners were really smart to create this venue. This I think has saved the original gambling area. They encase the original Vegas strip with a dome, so at night they can have awesome nightly shows that reflect along the whole length of the covering. It is really awesome to see in person.
Hours of operation: The show plays from dusk to midnight nightly. Leave a Comment

 alien planes! by bugalugs
There are different shows and the one we saw was of 'earthlings going head to head with aliens'. There are lots of flashing colours and very loud music and noise, some people may not like this. However I thought it was brilliant and so cleverly done and well worth going to see, on top of all that it is free! What more can you want. Leave a Comment

This is the older part of Las Vegas and as I said in previous tip where it all began. Then I assume that the main Strip started to develop and so Freemont Street sort of got left behind. But with the Viva Vision, sound and light display which is on every night people flock here to see it and its well worth it.
The theme can be different at each showing. Leave a Comment
