Fremont Street Experience is running free live entertainment every night this week in downtown Las Vegas, with bands, dancers and canopy light shows spread across the pedestrian mall. (vegasexperience.com) For Tuesday, April 21, the official calendar lists Main Street Stage acts from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., including a DJ and Garage Boys, plus Sky Dancers and Sugar on 1st Street Stage and Tony Marques on 3rd Street Stage. No ticket is required. (vegasexperience.com) The Viva Vision light show runs at the top of every hour from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., with a current lineup that includes Imagine Dragons at 6 p.m., Shakira at 9 p.m., Steve Aoki at 11 p.m. and Tiësto at 2 a.m. Each show lasts about 6 to 8 minutes. (vegasexperience.com) Fremont Street Experience says it operates three performance stages with live music every night, not just on weekends. That makes the free programming one of the steadiest no-cover entertainment options in Las Vegas at a time when Strip headliner tickets can run far higher. (vegasexperience.com) The downtown venue is built around the Fremont Street pedestrian mall and the LED canopy known as Viva Vision. Fremont Street Experience says the canopy stretches 1,375 feet, spans 90 feet wide and carries 16.4 million pixels after a $32 million upgrade. (vegasexperience.com) The free nightly schedule also feeds into larger event programming. Fremont Street Experience announced on April 15 that its Downtown Rocks summer concert series returns May 15 with Lee Brice, followed by acts including Crossfade with Trapt on May 30 and Fuel on June 13. (vegasexperience.com; nevadabusiness.com) The official event calendar updates by date, so the stage lineup can change night to night even though the free-entry format stays the same. For visitors planning an evening downtown, the schedule is the difference between catching a local cover band at 10 p.m. and arriving in time for the hourly canopy show. (vegasexperience.com) That is the pitch Fremont Street keeps making: show up downtown, look up at the canopy, and the entertainment is already on. (vegasexperience.com; vegasexperience.com)
