Fremont Street Experience and the Viva Vision canopy

The Fremont Street Experience is a pedestrian mall in downtown Las Vegas featuring Viva Vision, a large LED canopy that opened with the project in 1995 and spans several blocks of Fremont Street. Viva Vision has been used for nightly light-and-sound shows, concerts, and special events and is a focal point of downtown's entertainment district. The Fremont Street Experience project helped spur the area's transformation into a pedestrian-oriented attraction distinct from the Strip's resort corridor. The canopy and surrounding attractions are a frequent subject of local lore about downtown's revival.
