s tat e h o u s e main street faNNiNg the fLames What happens in Vegas: Here’s something you can tell your friends and family about. elm street Las Vegas, NV —One of the most popular man-made wonders on the Las Vegas strip is powered by natural gas. The volcano show at The mirage resort features plumes of natural gas-generated flame from 150 carefully choreographed fireshooters. The flames dance to a soundtrack composed by legendary Grateful Dead drummer mickey Hart and indian tabla virtuoso Zakir Hussain. repeating every hour on the hour between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m., the four-and-a-half-minute show is capped with a single huge eruption 60 feet in the air. it’s a popular misconception that the mercaptan has been stripped out of the natural gas that’s used in the show and replaced with a pineapple scent, mirage Vice President of Facility Operations Anthony Williams told American Gas. That fruity smell actually comes from misters placed strategically around the volcano. The gas that wows the crowds is the same as the stuff that’s keeping millions of American homes warm and cozy. Williams said natural gas fuels many functions around The mirage, which also has six cnG-powered stretch limousines. “Our resort is a good customer of the gas company,” Williams said. —Jennifer Pilla Taylor august/september 2013 AmericAn GAs 17
