It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort kicked off the eight-day run of "Lights of Freedom," its spectacular laser, pyrotechnics and music show created and produced by world renowned German light-artist Gert Hof on July 26. The event is presented in the skies above Atlantic City's famed boardwalk twice nightly -- at 9 and 11 p.m. -- through August 2. Each show will feature brilliant light effects and a rousing soundtrack of Bruce Springsteen hits.

The stunning climax of "Lights of Freedom" is the projection, into the seaside sky, of the world's largest American flag. This monumental flag display is musically accompanied by the classic Springsteen anthem Born in the USA. 온라인카지노

"It was absolutely incredible; the sky above the city was actually transformed into a flashing, moving work of art," explains Steve Gietka, vice president for entertainment, Trump Casino Resorts. "Nothing like this has ever been seen before anywhere in the United States. With 'Lights of Freedom,' The Trump Taj Mahal has made entertainment history."

Underscoring the significance of the production -- which, by August 2, is expected to be seen by a total of more than 2 million people -- a large stretch of the Atlantic City boardwalk went dark while the initial show was in progress. This was the first time since World War II that the boardwalk's lights were extinguished.

"Lights of Freedom" is Hof's American debut. He had previously dazzled audiences with productions at locales including the Acropolis in Athens, the banks of the Danube River in Budapest, and Beijing, where with his millennium celebration event he became the first foreigner ever to direct a Chinese ceremony of state. The Reuters news agency described Hof's January 1, 2001 "Asian Millennium Event" in China -- which was viewed by a live audience exceeding 4 million -- as an artistic "world experience."

The ideal viewing angle for "Lights of Freedom" is from along the south side of the boardwalk. Spectators will be treated to a breathtaking palette of dancing, swirling light, generated by a meticulously choreographed battery of more than one hundred 7,000-watt spotlights positioned atop the Trump Taj Mahal.

One of the world's largest casinos -- covering 17 full acres along the Atlantic City boardwalk and rising more than 420 feet above the shore -- the Trump Taj Mahal was opened by Donald Trump in 1990. Representing a $1 billion investment, and featuring 1,250 guest rooms, including 237 suites, 22 ballrooms and meeting rooms, and an arena that can seat over 5,000, the Taj Mahal offers opulence in the grand tradition of the world's most exquisite palaces.
