Viva Vision, the LED display canopy, rising 90 feet in height and stretching 1,400 feet along the Fremont Street Experience promenade from Main Street to Fourth Street, forms a spectacular foyer for the existing resorts. Holding the canopy aloft are 16 columns, each weighing 26,000 pounds and capable of bearing 400,000 pounds, and 43,000 struts.

Stretching the length of nearly five football fields, Viva Vision serves as the showcase for the light and sound shows and the worlds largest graphic display system. A section comprising one fiftieth of the total canopy equals the size of the worlds current largest electric sign. Originally, nearly 2.1 million incandescent lights were housed in the canopy. With the completion of the $17 million investment, more than 12 million LED lamps illuminate the overhead canopy, creating a never-before-seen color spectrum. Within the canopy itself are 220 speakers capable of producing 550,000 watts of concert-quality sound.

Computers were previously housed in the canopy to generate animated images perfectly syncopated to sound. The new Viva Vision technology is run by 10 high-speed, state-of-the-art computers operating the system from a dedicated control room with 9,600 gigabytes of storage, providing greater control, reduced maintenance costs and increased storage capacity, allowing the system to store and rotate a larger selection of shows. An additional $2 million in ambient lighting within the Viva Vision canopy includes 180 computer-programmed high-intensity strobe lights, 64 variable color lighting fixtures capable of producing more than 300 colors, sixteen 7,000-watt skytrackers and eight robotic mirrors per block each capable of being individually programmed to pan and tilt to reflect light during the show.

The Light & Sound Shows are presented nightly beginning at dusk. Conceived as a ballet of computer-generated animation and sound, the light and sound shows have evolved into the worlds largest pixel matrix for a single display supporting text, graphics, and sophisticated animation. Already known for its impressive scale and the varied multisensory experience it provides visitors, the Viva Vision canopy now contains even brighter, sharper and more vibrant images for an unparalleled multidimensional presentation with enhanced visual impact.
