Las
Vegas, NV. August 16, 2005--Car horns honk while people walking down Las
Vegas Boulevard stop in their tracks and whip out their camera-phones,
staring in awe at the Stratosphere's latest attraction. “Wow! That's so
cool!" Say the many onlookers during one of the test runs of the new
massive architectural light show.
In
early 2005 the design team at Hollywood, CA.-based RPI Entertainment &
Media Group were hand-picked to create a new lighting feature for the
Stratosphere Tower. "We wanted to create something that people have
never seen before. Not just a lighting feature to illuminate the structure
but a mega-theatrical attraction that would draw huge crowds." Says
Jeremy Vargus, managing partner and show producer for RPI Entertainment.
The design team was also faced with the challenge of creating a show that
would outdo the competing casinos along the Las Vegas Strip. Eight months
of precision planning went into creating the colossal light show which
featured numerous, high-powered Xenon moving fixtures that illuminate the
tallest free-standing observation tower in the United States. The 1,149
foot tall tower is engulfed in a multitude of bright, color-changing hues,
moving patterns of light and a stunning finale where the beams of light
sweep out into the night sky creating a giant space-aged flower while
synchronized to a musical score. The dancing light show can be seen
throughout all of Las Vegas.
Los Angeles-based RPI Entertainment offers a myriad of creative theatrics
and specializes in innovative entertainment solutions with live Las
Vegas-style productions and special effects shows. www.RPIEme.com.
