New York has Times Square at Broadway where the neon lights astound visitors. Paris is appropriately nicknamed the City of Lights. But Las Vegas is exclusive. Nowhere outside Asia can you come across such a dazzling array of sights and sounds, with crowds to match.
Housed under a permanent canopy, the casino-lined street has over two million lights and a state-of-the-art sound system. The combined impact is, nicely, electric. Under the million canopy walk a million visitors a year, if ‘walk’ is the proper term.
On quite a few nights, it is much more like becoming the ball in a pinball game. Not that it is overcrowded, it’s just that you invest so a lot time attempting to take in all of the sights, you’ve to bump shoulders fairly regularly.

Ninety feet above your head you’ll find 12.5 million synchronized LED lights producing millions of color combinations, accompanied by animation and video. One second it might be a Television broadcast, the next an indefinable kaleidoscope that pops your pupils. Among the greater identified signs is Glitter Gulch’s Vegas Vickie, exemplifying every thing that’s Las Vegas. Kitsch, fun, carefree and silly.
Videos are projected onto the canopy, too. Some last numerous minutes and run the gamut from ‘The Drop’, a psychedelic ‘happening’ ala the ’60s, to ‘Area 51′, showing earthlings in battle with aliens. ‘Above and Beyond’ gives visitors a view of the Earth from outerspace, while ‘Fahrenheit at Night’ displays some of what Vegas is finest identified for: stunning girls.
You’ll find dozens of shops, every thing from little indoor venues to free standing kiosks. Several of the offerings are just what you’d expect – little trinkets which will break the first time your child goes to play with it. But there is certainly the odd interesting item here and there. If absolutely nothing else you may grab a doughnut at Krispy Kreme and take pleasure in the sights from the outdoor patio.
The canopy is 1,400 feet (about 1/4 of a mile), so you will have a lot of chance to miss something interesting. Superior program to go twice, at least as soon as when you are sober.
Street fairs are a characteristic of summertime throughout America. Especially in New York City, the residents all seem to organize massive swap fairs or celebrations during the summertime. These become a hybrid of an outdoor convention and a full convention, offering a unique atmosphere. There are two primary types of exhibit used at a street show: tents or portable exhibits.
Vinyl Tent Basics
The tent, for many people, is the classic statement of a summertime street show. It is usually white and has either a canopy on top or a canopy with sides. It is easy to set up and can be either staked into the ground or held up by sandbags or buckets. They come in standard sizes and are generally easy to carry without requiring many people for set up.
There are several benefits that come with this style, but also some serious detriments. They do provide good shelter at a lower price than most other options can offer. However, they are quite flimsy and relatively unadorned compared with tradeshow exhibits. Their frames are typically hollow and comprised of parts which can easily bend out of alignment. In addition, the vinyl plastic which covers them can often become frayed during repeated setup and takedown.

Comparing Tradeshow Exhibits
Portable exhibits are a striking contrast to the tents. They typically are much more customized, as they are designed not to be simply off the shelf like most tents. Where tents are white and dull on the outside, good tradeshow exhibits are vibrant and make great branding tools. They are also built on sturdy frames, preventing them from some of the damage that can occur with tents. However, they are also the more expensive option. This is partly because of the frame and partly because it costs more to make something as customized as a good booth.
The major upside to a booth is its high level of customizability. There are virtually no limits on what can be done with a good design company. Canopies can be added to make the space outdoor friendly. New designs can be implemented. None of this is easy with a plastic tent.
Which Is Best?
The ultimate solution is to consider what you need before you buy anything. First, decide whether money or impact is most important to you. If it’s the former, you’ll probably want to choose a canvas enclosure. They are very economical, and using one this year might help you make enough to buy a booth next year. The other primary reason to choose this type of setup is if you are actively marketing to a buyer class that expects it. A flea market, for instance, would typically think that portable exhibits made by a professional company were out of place, yet a canvas tent fits right in.
For larger companies, a more customized design is usually more successful. Good portable exhibits can really drive visitors and make a substantial change in traffic at the street fair. However, be certain that the display is designed for the street fair format. You will have to work to get attention, but if you put in the time and effort, the reward will be worth it.
