The overhead lightshow isn't the only thing to see here, though. By day, this covering provides shade from the Vegas sun by night, it transforms into a spectacular lightshow, showcasing enchanting visuals and music from iconic artists played through 550,000-watt sound speakers scattered throughout the streets. This area of Downtown features the Fremont Street Experience - five blocks of street lined by casinos on both sides and covered with a canopy of 24 million LED lights.
This is because the most famous part of Downtown is located on Fremont Street, just as the Las Vegas Strip is located on Las Vegas Boulevard. Often, you'll hear locals refer to Downtown Las Vegas as 'Fremont'.
