Lightwave International and Excitement Technologies Group provide two high-powered Lightwave Prism Series lasers by Arctos for the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). Linkin Park performs "Bleed it Out" after a dramatic 'smoke and mirrors' reveal on stage at Rain, the popular Vegas hotspot.

The lasers are rigged overhead on truss with other lighting fixtures.  Below, an array of mirrors line the stage edge to create additional laser bounces from the stage surface.
