  • Coming back to Fremont Street for the first time since my childhood, I had an instant flashback to the car trips my dad made us take across the Western part of the country in our 1963 Rambler station wagon. Back then, one of the most vivid images was Vegas Vic when he used to swing his forearm to his head with his thumb sticking out. I can still hear him bellow, "Howdy, Pardner!" over and over again. When I came back here a couple of weeks ago, he didn't move, he didn't speak, his hat was cut off, and he was surrounded by a pedestrian mall. It was like visiting Vic in a rest home and finding out he could only eat farina and play Parcheesi. However, the bigger surprise was what a sparkling example the Fremont Street Experience shows itself to be of genuinely creative urban renewal, and the crowning achievement has to be the Viva Vision canopy and light show. Either that or the deep-fried Oreos and Twinkies at Mermaids Casino. The canopy towers ninety feet above the ground, spans the length of five football fields, and features more than twelve million LED modules and a 555,000-watt sound system. Yes, it's a mutha. In fact, it's so big that each show begins by turning off the lights on all of the casinos under the canopy including poor, old Vic. It's quite a sensory experience to see all the dazzling images projected onto the canopy set to Don McLean's "American Pie" or the "We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions" medley from Queen. For more details on the Fremont Street Experience, read the article from the prolific and insightful SF Travel Examiner ... http://www.examiner.com/x-515-SF-Travel-Examiner~y2010m1d28-A-weekend-in-Las-Vegas-Tripping-the-light-fantastic-with-the-Fremont-Street-Experience
