Clout chasing on fleek, “Undercover Boss.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFirst, it’s awesome Fremont Street Experience is being featured on “Undercover Boss.”<\/p>\n
It’s great for downtown, and it’s going to be a fun look behind-the-scenes at how one of the world’s busiest pedestrian malls does what it does.<\/p>\n
Here’s a first look at the episode.<\/p>\n

We worked in digital marketing at Fremont Street Experience for six years, and the staffers who make that nightly party-slash-circus happen deserve some limelight.<\/p>\n
In the preview segments, those folks include Emmie and Ron. These two are amazing and have been doing what they do for decades, largely unsung.<\/p>\n
Emmy oversees maintenance, Ron tempts fate by working 100 feet above Fremont to maintain the giant video canopy that entertains millions of Las Vegas visitors each year.<\/p>\n
Here’s what crazy person and all-around good person Ron does every day.<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting at this juncture there is zero chance Ron and Emmy don’t know who Andrew Simon is. Same goes for when the show was taped.<\/p>\n
This particular conceit of the show is absurd, especially at Fremont Street Experience (there aren’t that many employees), but Andrew Simon and his colleagues have to play along because when it comes to “Undercover Boss,” buy the premise, buy the bit, as they say in the business.<\/p>\n
Here’s a segment with more about Andrew Simon’s background.<\/p>\n

For whatever reason, the disguises on “Undercover Boss” are laughably bad, making even the most successful businessperson look like they can’t afford a beard trimmer.<\/p>\n
