The doubling of its size transformed Fashion Show from a regional mall into an international lifestyle destination along the Las Vegas Strip. The indoor areas are organized around a "Great Hall" with projecting balconies, soaring columns, and a linear runway for fashion shows with large DVD screens on the Strip. Outdoors, a high-tech suspended structure known as "The Cloud" creates a defining image, with a sophisticated audio-visual system that modifies the appearance of the center as fashion trends change.
