The scene in Las Vegas where Starman is pulling out of the parking lot in a new Cadillac takes place at the intersection of Las Vegas Blvd. & Fremont Street. At the time, that section of Fremont street was just like any other street. Now, it is the "Fremont Street Experience", a pedestrian walkway between Las Vegas Blvd. & Main Street. Vehicles may travel through the Fremont Street Experience North & South, but can no longer travel East & West as there is a canopy where a light show regularly performs and a zipline that travels the length of the Fremont Street Experience.
