Fremont Tree Lighting?

Does anyone know when the Fremont Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony will take place this year?
I Think I read where it was last week.
I guess it isn't too spectacular. We were there last Christmas and don't remember it.
It's sometime this week. I'll post details tomorrow when I get back in the office.

Also, I remember that on Dec. 26th a rapid tearing down of the tree,
by 9 a.m. all ornaments etc. are gone, THEE Downtown people don't want to
offend the Non Holiday folks, and want to get this tree down as fast as hell as
they can !!
No, we want to get it down as quickly as possible to be ready for the New Year's Eve crowds. 25,000 people take up a lot of room, and the crowds start building right after Christmas is over. It's one of the busiest weeks in Vegas.
OK, just got the details. Mayor Carolyn Goodman will be lighting the grand Menorah on Sun, Dec 9 at 4pm, at the intersection just west of 4th street and Fremont.. The Christmas Tree Lighting will be done (also by the Mayor) on Monday, Dec 10, 5pm, at the 3rd Street stage.
