"We are excited at the opportunity to collaborate with one of rock's most iconic bands for this new Viva Vision® show and the end result is sure to turn heads to the sky for an unparalleled visual experience," said Jeff Victor, President at Fremont Street Experience.
The new Viva Vision® show starts with "I Can See for Miles," taking the viewer on a journey through the cosmos, eventually landing in Las Vegas. From there the screen, which is the world's largest video screen and spans five football fields, is transformed into a giant pinball machine as balls roll up and down the street, reflecting the street scene below in "Pinball Wizard" and ends with a musical celebration set to pop-art graphics with "My Generation."
Coinciding with the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, the new show will be featured now through Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. with bonus shows at 1 a.m. on Nov. 15 and 16. Beginning Nov. 18, The Who – Miles Over Vegas will air nightly at 10 p.m. as part of the ongoing Viva Vision® show schedule.
The new show was announced earlier this year during a joint press conference with lead singer, Roger Daltrey and Fremont Street Experience President Jeff Victor. During the press conference Victor also presented Daltrey with a $5,000 donation to Teen Cancer America, a charity inspired by Daltrey and fellow band-mate Pete Townshend.
