Fodor's Review:
The light show's the thing downtown. Walk around Main Street after dark and you might find yourself slack-jawed along with the rest of the gawking tourists. Here's how the Experience breaks down by the numbers: the display is a little longer than the length of four football fields; consists of 12 million synchronized LED modules, including 180 strobes and eight robotic mirrors per block; and has 208 speakers that operate independently but combine for 550,000 watts of sound. Six-minute light shows are presented on the hour after dark; it takes 31 computers and 100 gigabytes of memory to run the shows. What's all that mean? That all those lights are worth ogling. Beyond the Experience, the pedestrian mall is bland -- you'll only want to bother with it as a means to ducking in and out of the casinos that line it. The mall is festooned with mediocre souvenir stands and a handful of mostly forgettable eateries. Live entertainment, ranging from mimes to rock bands, sometimes pull in crowds.
