| PRG Tops the Charts |
Chart-topping artists from across the recording industry made the 2006 Billboard Music Awards this December's "must see" event in Las Vegas, Nevada. PRG built the massive stage and supplied the lighting for the show, which was televised live over the Fox network as it rocked the room at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Designed by production designer Leroy Bennett and art director Anne Brahic, the show's stage measured approximately 160 feet wide by 80 feet deep. The structure, fabricated by PRG, was covered with inlaid laminate flooring. The stage also featured a custom-painted performance area and two lighted platforms covered with Plexiglass.
PRG also built the structure for the 16 foot tall by 60 foot wide video wall that dominated upstage center stage.
