The street with the world’s largest LED screen is hoping to bring its attractions to people’s computer screens.
The Fremont Street Experience soon will begin airing a live interactive online talk show from casinos, restaurants and attractions located in the five-block entertainment district. Organizers say the broadcast will be the first of its kind from a Las Vegas tourist attraction.
More than 17 million people a year visit the Fremont Street Experience, an audience officials hope to grow with the broadcast. The project is being done in collaboration with Vegas Video Network, which produces shows that focus on behind-the-scenes looks at Las Vegas.
“A critical element to our success at Fremont Street Experience is developing an environment that is exciting, authentic and approachable,” said Jeff Victor, president of the Fremont Street Experience and host of the show. “Our efforts with the Vegas Video Network will allow us to expand this philosophy and reach by staying closely connected to a world-wide audience of Fremont Street Experience enthusiasts.”
Crews will begin shooting episodes in mid-October. Rehearsals and location scouting already have begun.
The program will be broadcast live on the Vegas Video Network and Fremont Street Experience websites, as well as on demand on iTunes, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.
