About this audio guide
This guide to the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas traces downtown's 1990s losing battle with the flashier resorts down the Strip, and architect Jon Jerde's plan to fly parade floats over the crowd below every night. When desert winds doomed that idea and the deadline closed in, local architect Mary Kozlowski proposed turning the canopy overhead into something else entirely. Casino owners downtown had already pledged millions toward that canopy before her pitch changed what would fill it.
