Travel to Vegas, roam the strip any day of the week, and sooner or later you’ll come upon a jumbled confusion of cranes, trucks, concrete and steel busily building a hotel, a high end shopping area, a casino do-over, or in our case, a ship that’s going to sink and come back again.

But rather than subject foot and vehicular traffic to the daily sight of construction chaos like the other building sites do, from the very first, we surrounded our ride site with scaffolding sixty feet high by six hundred feet long. Onto this we mounted a silvered Nylon/Kevlar fabric that acts like a supersized drive-in movie screen, upon which, during the daytime, our High Rez video projectors display a montage of historic photographs of the original R.M.S. Titanic under construction in Belfast in 1910: massive bronze propellers, raked smokestacks, the towering bow with her mythic name emblazoned in raised letters, and of course, triple-expansion steam engines that dwarf the mustachioed workers frozen in time from another world across the sea in Ireland.

But at night our slideshow changes from construction photos to a rivet-perfect, CGI version of the Titanic sailing full-speed across the Atlantic, complete with moving water, scudding clouds and the ever-deepening night sky.

At midnight the iceberg looms into view, grates along the hull and passes into the darkness.
