Neonopolis, a shopping mall, is a $100 million entertainment complex in Las Vegas, Nevada located on top of a $15 million city parking garage. It is located on Fremont Street, at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard. In keeping with the complex's name, it contains three miles of neon lights.
Three open-air levels surround an outdoor center courtyard with stage, sound and seating. Bands and concerts were scheduled during the summer months during its heyday.
History
Plans for Neonopolis were announced in December 1997. It opened on May 3, 2002.
In 2006, Prudential Real Estate sold Neonopolis to a development group led by Rohit Joshi for $25 million. Joshi undertook an abortive rebranding of the center as Fremont Square, but ultimately the Neonopolis name was retained. After temporarily closing in 2010 for redevelopment, Neonopolis underwent renovations in 2011 and reopened with new tenants.
