Freemont Street Canopy

Fremont Street Canopy Getting $32 Million Face Lift

The world’s largest single video screen located in historic downtown Las Vegas, is getting an upgrade. The Viva Vision light show canopy on Fremont Street is being replaced with a newer, brighter model.

And, officials say, upgrades to the existing 1,500-by-90-foot Viva Vision screen are desperately needed. The upgraded Viva Vision canopy will illuminate the pedestrian mall with 16,433,152 pixels and 5,000 Nits, making it seven-times brighter than the existing canopy with four-times the resolution.

Construction on the $32M project is set to begin in May with an expected completion date and unveiling for New Year’s Eve. The Fremont Street Experience is contributing $12 million to the project, the city is covering $10.7 million, the LVCVA will fund up to $9.5 million and the rest will be covered by private businesses in the area.

Interactive elements of the canopy are also in the works, Las Vegas Sun reports. For example, visitors will be able to download a cellphone app called The Key that will allow them to vote on the next song played. Visitors will even be able to watch the canopy screen remotely through The Key.

A new casino, Circa Las Vegas is also expected to open in late 2020 and will be unlike anything else Downtown.
