    I am in love with the neon lights. I have visited it late evenings and it was amazing. I was greeted on the red carpet with an announcement , here come the Kardashians.. Hehe may be because I look like Kim K.. It was very funny. The henna Tattoo shop in the extreme right hand corner is good but very pricey, 20$ for a small tatoo which I had got done on my leg. After that we enjoyed the musical band. Then amazing song under the canopy which is a must... Simply awesome..

    This place is INSANE!!!!!  I absolutely LOVED it and everyone who goes to Vegas MUST go there.  There are people everywhere, a live band, the video on the ceiling, actors in costume and just plain FUN!  I didn't see the zip lining when I was there and I was bummed about that because I did want to experience that.  Beware that the later it gets, the drunker it gets.  Keep everything where you can see it so you don't get pick pocketed and just know that you will experience what you will.
    If you don't go, you're missing out on an experience.  I like the strip at night but I'm not a "pay $1200.00 for 2 bottles for bottle service" kind of gal and this was GREAT for 1 night of FUN!  Just plain COOL!  GO!

    I did both The Strip and Fremont Street during my stay.

    Fremont Street reminded me of AC-the type of place to people watch with a degree of unseemliness. Actors walk around in costumes ala LA posing for photos. There's dancers dancing provocatively on a stage.

    Theres a show every hour at night. I always thought the show was a light show, visual show spectacular. Turns out the nightly show is a music video being shown on the canopy. Sorta blah to me.

    It was worth a visit at least once.

    The people watching was so much fun. The staff at most businesses  were very friendly and could answer most any question we had about Fremont Street and  Las Vegas.

    The facial cream people need to back off and quit trying to pull women into their shop despite the many times they hear the words "No thank you!" I found myself having to walk on the opposite side of the street to avoid these pushy people. No once, listen; no twice, I'm going to yell; no three times, people need to involve security.

    Speaking of security: they need more. Too many people having to rush through and not enjoy the entertainment because they are constantly being approached by beggars. A few, fine. Every few minutes, not fine.

    Needs to be an enforced age restriction. So many tourist parents there late at night with school aged and younger kids watching these scantilly clad women and men causes many of us to feel very uncomfortable.

    I am more of a 2.5 rating here.  I appreciated the experience with the lights and entertainment. However, there were concerns here where we weren't comfortable. It would be ideal to have this area patrolled with law enforcement.  You really need to be aware of your surroundings more so here.  There are too many that are DRUNK and obnoxious.  We experienced road rage in the parking structure and it was bumper to bumper trying to exit with no where to go to get out of the mess. There was no security, but the area is heavily equipped with cameras. I can just say I have "been there, done that and will never be back".  I also don't recommend coming here.

    From 7pm to midnight , and til 1am on weekends, there is an hourly show broadcast on the canopy that covers the pedestrian-only street.   In summer months, it may not start until 8pm, because they wait for it to be thoroughly dark (heat might be an issue as well).  The schedule can be pre-empted by special events.  A slight negative is that there is almost no seating, you have to stand and watch the show.  And there is little variety, if you see an 8pm show one night, the show at 8pm the next night is 98% likely to be exactly the same.

    The resolution of the images is a bit behind the times - the canopy was last upgraded in 2005 or so, another update would be helpful - but it's impressive nonetheless.  

    If you want to get very good food without breaking the budget, there are several hotels on Fremont which will feed you well for not much money.  Value wise, I like the lunch buffets, which generally run from about 11am to 3pm.   Be sure to join the frequent gamblers club before dining, the food deals are often even better for club members.  I am partial to the buffet inside the Fremont Hotel (Paradise Buffet).  Inside the Four Queens, Magnolia's Veranda is very good (table service, not a buffet).

    The street itself, yeah, it's a magnet for all comers.  DT Vegas has some of the cheapest hotels around, meaning some people who look like bums and complete misfits are in reality low brow guests and scraping-by residents.  Re: drunk people complaints ... seriously, if drunk people offend you, why are you in Vegas?

    And yes, there is some crime, I strongly recommend women leave their purses in their rooms if they are gonna be out late.  Guys should keep their keys, ID and cash in the front pockets of their jeans/shorts.

    There are generally a couple different stages of live music, one country-ish, and one rock-ish.  It's cover bands, but good cover bands.

    I'll give you the usual Vegas advice of always asking how much a drink costs before ordering.  And don't buy a crushed ice margarita in a really big funny shaped container, for a whole bunch of reasons (reason 1, how often do you think they empty and clean out the machines that dispense said drink?).  

    If you are staying at one of the nearby hotels, you can easily bring a drink with you to the street, as long as it is not glass, and not overtly liquor.  Most of the casinos are pretty easy going about you bringing a drink in with you, especially if you look semi-washed and presentable.

    Review update....all of my comments in my previous review still applies, but there are now more freaks and weirdos out under the canopy.  It's very ghetto and there are a lot of teenagers here hanging out and drinking.....not a good combination.  We didn't feel comfortable here at all.  We walked to the new East Fremont entertainment district instead.

    I can't wait until they re-open the ziplines...that will probably bring me back.

    I love going to Downtown - to me, this is the real Vegas, the one that I remember from my childhood. The strip is for suckers, tourists and people who don't know any better. This place has much more character. I've taken friends and family, who were visiting from out of town, to the Fremont Street Experience, and they've all enjoyed it thoroughly - from the old casinos, the decent food, the live music, the street performers to the ziplines, it's all good! Yes, you'll probably encounter hustlers, pimps, hos, junkies and beggars here (as in any other major city), but part of the fun is seeing people from all walks of life!

    This place improves, if not, saves lives.

    Fremont Street is akin to a suicide prevention hot line.

    Women with low self esteem and body dysmorphia will feel like Monica Bellucci after witnessing women with massive back boobs and an even more impressive tooth dancing to Tom Petty.

    Ox tail soup at The Cal will listen to you as you slurp it and nurture the decision you made...that going in raw dog was the right thing to do.

    I was walking, minding my own business...lamenting my sure fire scheme to get rich on the Crazy for Poker table when my nose started to bleed and I plugged it with a wad of TP.  There I was...standing amongst the hordes of less attractive people with a wad of TP up my nostril.  No one laughed.  No one stopped and stared.  I belonged.

    With a new found confidence, I sat down at another Crazy for Poker table.  I reeled out a fat pimp stack all the while with what was basically a tampon shoved up my nose...like a boss.  

    Despite all its Mother Theresa-like qualities, there's a shit-ton of fuckery going on there that I can get down with.  Ya dig?

    my family use to really enjoy going here, esp. when school is out.  we enjoy walking down the freemonth streets, watching the light shows, going to the gift shops, listening to the free concerts outside.  

    recently though, the place hasn't  been safe, there have been shootings, lots of annoying homeless or psych people wondering giving problems.

    they should have more police patrols in the areas.

    I always enjoy Fremont.  It's a nice change up from the strip.  Everything is in close proximity.  They offer some good restaurants, casinos and entertainment! Yes...  I would say sometimes it's like the Jerry Springer show walking around down there.  But isn't that good entertainment??! The giant overhead screen that spans a few blocks is a must see.  They play a different song at the top of the hour with the video playing.  During that time they also shut off the outside casino lights to make the show that much more impressive.   My favorite one is Queen~ We Will Rock You/We Are the Champions.  It's awesome.  

    They also have the zip line over Fremont.  It's something neat to do but I usually see the longer lines at night.  I have seen a few people stop short of the end (which is pretty funny).  One of the guys has to hook himself up on the line and go get the zip liner.  Again... entertaining!

    On the weekend there are live bands on 2 or 3 different stages depending on the night.  Some good, some not so good but everyone is having a good time to the tunes.  

    We always seem to have a fun time down on Fremont.  Let's just say the Freaks come out at night!

    Not impressed by Fremont. It's just a bunch of casino's and souvenir shops. It's so small too. the zip lining was shut down which is what we went for.

    I rather just walk down the strip and not feel so damn claustrophobic.

    The Fremont Street Experience is definitely one to try if you've never been before. The blocks that make up Fremont Street really are the epitome of old Las Vegas and can be called the city that never sleeps (their lights are literally as bright as daylight!).

    For entertainment, there is everything from:
    * light and music display  on the giant canopy every hour (must see!)
    * live outdoor music stages
    * performers (dance, puppets, etc)
    * vendors and artists selling creative pieces of work
    * zip line (currently under renovation)
    * even people dressed as popular characters (super heroes, Hello Kitty, Elmo and even outrageous characters)

    No matter the time of day, there is always something to do or watch down on Fremont Street. Some of the things we like to bring our friends/family who are visiting to:
    * Binon's for a picture with $1 Million (they even print a copy for you!)
    * The Golden Nugget Pool with aquarium and waterslide

    Even if you've been to FSE a long time ago, a lot of casinos have done renovations. Definitely a must at least once!

    Fremont street was the first established street in Vegas, so it makes sense that it's also the home to a great Vegas experience.

    Park at the Golden Nugget (not free) to get right up on the action.

    It has all of the glowing lights, casinos, free drinks, and restaurants that you'll find on the strip, and so much more.

    We saw:

    A guy playing his heart out on a wailing saxophone.
    A Mr. t impersonator.
    A Rihanna impersonator.
    A really funny Russian guy decked out as Bumble Bee, the transformer!

    There's also the world's largest tv screen covering the entire length overhead of the Experience.

    We found vendors selling fedoras, funny animal hats, watches, personalized signs, kettle corn!

    My two favorite attractions were a guy who would sculpt your face out of a clay mold right on the spot and a spray paint artist. There was also a guy who writes on individual rice grains. Wow...

    We were greeted in front of the Mermaid casino by women dressed in Vegas showgirl outfits, mardi gras beads and all.

    Not to mention that the experience has access to some of my favorite casinos.

    This hot spot is recommended by locals and visitors. Don't miss it!

    I love this place....go at night for the light show! I love the Casino Mermaids!!! Free drinks just please tip your awesome ladies....they have old school slot machines which are the best :) Golden Nugget is the best casino on the old school strip. Park at one of the casino/hotels on the Fremont Experience and you can have your parking validated in the casino

    IF this sort of Vegas is your think you need not read on. If this is your sort of good time you can go to no no no... don't go. It's like the creepy, reject tourists, a ton of stroller age kids, and knock off go-go dancers, then you can just go to any swap meet for half the price. lol!

    How in the blue hell have I never written a review on FSE???

    I enjoy downtown from time to time (but definitely not too much) and especially when family and friends visit. This is one attraction that everyone seems to get a huge kick out of! And what's not to like? They temporarily shut down the bright lights of the casino signs and light up a 10-15 minute show over the canopy: the worlds largest LED screen! (1500 feet long!) They change it up often enough that I always seem to catch a new one when I'm down there.

    You have ziplining there now and Slot-zilla soon to be finished. You can walk around into 8-9 casinos (depending if you feel up to braving the walk to the El Cortez).

    There are frequently free concerts there on the stage set up just outside the D Las Vegas Casino.

    You can see Vegas Vic there! And also the Neon Museum has a few classic displays there as well. (The Aladdin lamp and the Hacienda rider).

    Of course you should always be aware of the vagrants, bums, beggars, thieves, homeless, crackheads, drunks, pervs, and numbnuts that IS the Fremont crowd. Not pessimism...and any one time visitor to FSE can vouch for that. lol

    But it is still very cool and can be a lot of fun and there is a ton of Vegas history here. Just be aware of your surroundings.

    4 solid stars.

    The saddest part of this is I waited till it was almost time to leave to check this place out. I would have gone here all week, better food deals and better odds I think.  It also felt less uppity, and I'm less uppity, I felt a lot more comfortable then on the strip. I liked it!!

    I love the Freemont Street Experience - the WHOLE experience!
    Yes people are working in costume for tips, yes you might have to walk a bit and/or pay for parking if you are not staying in one of the nearest hotels, yes there are shady characters downtown (if you are actually in the Freemont street experience though, you are always a few feet away from a casino with tons of people, not seriously dangerous), yes people will try to give you cards and sell you stuff... just like at parts of the strip. But I think I like downtown more than the strip. I know, I know. I sound like a hipster. Oh well!

    I love the juxtaposition of the new with the old: the old facades of what used to be the main Vegas strip, connected by the modern canopy. Downtown is easier to Casino and/or bar hop, food is cheaper, it's more casual, people-watching is more interesting and there's always something going on - plenty of free entertainment while walking around under the canopy of the Freemont Street Experience.

    The canopy is really cool. It's basically a giant screen that displays lights/images/graphics/video. The music is loud but it's only annoying if you are in a horrible mood or just super up tight. It's Vegas!

    Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
    Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty...

    Yeah, that Downtown song? Not so much made for our downtown. It's gritty and gross and scary and strange... but that's not so bad, is it? I say no. I actually like it.

    It gets less kids, for sure. Not many weirdo parents pushing their kids in strollers down the Strip at 1am. And the "anything goes" environment is pushed to its boundaries in this part of town. So while you might come down to see the canopy screens, you'll probably wind up gambling and chain smoking, drinking cheap drinks, and getting so sloppy drunk you walk into a light pole later. Praise be for cabs.

    My personal favorites on and around the walk are the concert stages, where you can see any number of bands for free (from country to classic rock to alternative 90s), and the cheap beers inside the Las Vegas Club casino. ABC store is also a nice stop for cheap drinks.

    The disclaimer here is don't come down if you're at all fancy. People might see me around in my nicely pressed polos and yacht shoes (I don't own a yacht, I'm just a jerk) and think I'm out of place, but I was raised pretty hardcore and can handle it, so you do need a thick skin to put up with the things you may experience here. Want an example? In just the last two times I've been to Fremont Street, I've been approached by drug dealers and prostitutes, had cigarette butt beer spilled on my toes, margarita slushy all over my hands (my fault), and nearly peed on by some drunk frat boy - my friend WAS peed on.

    So yeah, they don't call it the Fremont Street Experience for nothing. Can you handle it?

    Only one way to find out.

    I like freemont street. My daughter enjoys the music and light shows.  When she is with us we leave by 10pm.  When she is not with us we stroll around and enjoy the later stages shows and cheap drinks.  Some nights/holidays are better then others to people watch.  
    This is a tip for the drunk non locals... there are two streets where you have to wait for the cross walk before you can cross because of car traffic so be careful you are amuzing to watch as you yell at cars for almost running your ass over because you're in the wrong for walking into oncoming traffic.

    The light shows at night are the only reason this is a three star attraction.  Because other than the golden nugget, Fremont street is pretty bad.  But to the positive first, the light show is very entertaining and the different shows each time are nice.  We were there on sunday and they played a lot of 70's music (doors) which is alright by me.  
    My wife and I stood in the middle of the street in awe of the light shows.  We just havent seen anything like that before.  It was even more interesting to stand at one end and watch so you could take in just how long the show is.  
    The bad....well, fremont is considered old vegas, and apparently old vegas is dirty, smelly, and full of bums, alcoholics, and impersonators.  It was just really dirty and the people were rude.  
    Considering that it could have just been a bad day when we attended, so we will give it another try the next time we are in Vegas.

    Everyone needs to do this once. But that is enough!!  Great music, cheap drinks, ok gambling. The scary zombie like meth heads combined with drugs, alcohol, prostitutes, etc... We left around 1am on A Friday night and headed back to the strip because we we worried for our safety. Have fun.... Yikes

    OMG... avoid this place if you can. we had to park far since there was no parking available around the area. it was such a weird feeling when we encountered at least 5 security guards around the block while walking to go to fremont st. in the afternoon.

    there were many drunk people and many sales people trying to sell their tickets to buffets, shows, and what not.

    i would not go there again.

    really cool!!! I love all the old school classic original hotels that still have that old schol feel !! my husband and I stayed on the strip and took a bus over here one day [about a 20 minute bus ride] and man it was just so fun! Next time we go to vegas we were thinking about staying a night here in one of the higher end hotels just to really experience the old vegas thing. So cute. They did a great job really just maintaining the space while not jeopardizing the original ora of the casinos! go check it out for the day !!  

    ALSO we played some $3 roulette tables!!!

    If you go at night it's pretty and there's cheap drinks.. that's about it.

    I went during the day and it was horrible.. usually I can find fun anywhere I go not this place though. It was dirty and full of bums and crackheads everywhere. The shops were nasty the casinos were dirty as hell. The only good thing was the cheap beers that we got inside the casinos. There's nothing there but a few gift shops and the casinos. We ate at the place at the end by the parking garage(seafood place) since it looked fairly decent from the outside..mistake. It was nasty inside I felt dirty just sitting there. I just had some shots and beers since I didn't feel comfortable eating there after I tried the shrimp cocktail... which tasted old and burnt. I would come back to ride the zipline at night... other than that it was a boring waste of time!

    TIP: Stay on the Strip!

    MY FAVORITE!

    When my husband and I travelled to Vegas together for the first time I was literally shocked he didn't know about the downtown. Fremont is my favorite! The Fremont Street Experience is free, fun, and very memorable. Plus, when the screen isn't playing its show up above, you can look around you and there are costumed "celebrities" EVERYWHERE. If you don't want to tip them to take a picture together, try a perfectly aimed "selfie" with them in the deliberate background.

    Food is good on Fremont. Drinks are cheap. Streets are packed. There are stages with live performances, zip lines, and I even saw a motorcycle ball of death once. ONe of the greatest things I've ever seen live! Plus, this area is rich with history. I've only stayed in a downtown hotel a couple times. Stay on the strip, but take a cab to Fremont and enjoy the experience.

    Everybody whining about this place and being condescending about everything possible and all I see is Imanannoyingtourist, CA, I'manannoyingtourist, NY, I'manannoyingtourist, FL.

    You're walking around Vegas SOBER and having a bad time. No shit? You must be a tourist! Welcome to Vegas retard! You'd think it couldn't get worse than tourists walking around Manhattan with NYC shirts on, but the tourists in Vegas top it hands down. Grow a brain, grow a pair, get drunk, go have some fun. I've lived here my whole life, FSE is a standard. It's fun if you're a fun person. Sure it has a bit of a rapey vibe every once in awhile and crack whores sometimes get lost (they're far nicer than a lot of posters here though), but that doesn't mean it's not enjoyable. If you're fortunate enough to be in Vegas as a tourist, you have a very good life. Enjoy it. Stop whining.

    Loved it. More fun than the 2 times I've been to the strip. We asked the locals about things to do. This was one of them and they were right. It was cool. Cool and fun are subjective, though. To each their own.

    Chatted with the hilarious charismatic bartender Nae in some bar (she should have her own tv show), saw a quarter of a mile long LED arch monitor play a Queen show, three different bands, then went ziplining above the same street. There were some funny people on this Street also, like the scantily dressed tranny dancing for hours (wtf?). And this was a Tuesday night.

    My boyfriend debated about going here during our vacation and eventually made our way there out of boredom on our last night in LV. Small preamble: we are not drinkers at all and as a result do not enjoy terrible bar bands or drink tickets being shoved in our face by strangers, so if you enjoy those things my review may not reflect your experience.

    The first thing I noticed was that there was, in essence, a very expensive screensaver being displayed on the canopy, so that was underwhelming right away. Basically a low-definition looping series of ads. After walking a little bit I had been nearly trampled a dozen times by large groups of sloppy drunks; it was like 8:30, by the way. We walked still farther and passed by two separate bands playing Journey and Guns n Roses covers and their middle-aged drunken audience dancing awkwardly and swinging their drinks in people's faces in the middle of the walkway. After that we only walked far enough to get decent photos of the cowboy/cowgirl neon signs and left.

    Increased review from 1 star to 2 stars because the bus ride back and forth was interesting, and the hooker transaction we witnessed at the bus stop was hilarious. The FSE is basically a large-scale version of a gross Midwestern dive bar, so if that doesn't appeal to you, avoid.

    This was definitely an experience coming to check this out. I did not know what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by the entire situation. It is quite a journey here from the MGM Grand where I was staying. As soon as you walk up, you notice the giant overhead cover that the videos play on. There were people walking everywhere and numerous street performers doing their thing. I saw a dance/contortionist first thing as I walked up. He was popping and locking and could turn his arm and hands all the way around "Weird and Cool". There was also a spray paint artist that did fantastic work using only spray paint, poster board and sponges. A live band was playing as well and they were pretty good. Further down, there was a stage and DJ playing with dancers there too.

    The show itself was pretty good. They did one with the band "Heart" and played several of their songs through the show. They effects were cool and it looked great. This is a unique experience coming here. Not only for the actual light show, but because of all the interesting characters that are around. Several of the old casinos are there and some of them have lots of "character"... Definitely an experience and one that I will return for next time I visit.

    So I just got a email from Yelp HQ that people are reporting me about this review for being an asshole.

    I AM a asshole. Go read my other reviews. However, I am ALSO telling the truth! And as any asshole should do, I should INSTIGATE and PROVOKE!

    I come to imagine that the average individual who wrote complaints about me for this creep-nest is a straight up fucking loser. You know, a homeless, crank-smoking, shit bag that kicks it with the unwashed juggalos next to the DJ/Rock N' Roll Stand across from the Plaza Casino.

    AKA, someone who doesn't even have a job. And probably makes it a lifelong occupation to instigate fights along Fremont Street so they can get a misdemeanor battery charge for some free chow at the Clark County Detention Center.

    Two weeks ago, I was outside The Griffin Bar on Fremont just sipping on my beer and enjoying a cigarette. Then, this scumbag bitch-made fat white dude with nerd glasses and white Dr. Dre Beats Headphones comes up to me screaming "FUCK YOU! FUCK ALL OF YOU! AND FUCK ME!" like a broken record.

    As soon as I heard "Fuck you", I immediately whipped around to face him in the eyes. Motherfucker immediately said "Fuck me", etc, and blahblahblah. He was creeping out this set of girls outside of bar too until they finally gave him the simutaneous silent treatment.

    Unfortunately, thats pretty much the end of the story. Unbelieveable. Usually fights on at this point. But I guess the bouncers at The Griffin also found him to be harmless and in many ways, pathetic.

    UPDATE:

    So there is a stabbing on Fremont Street that happened about two days ago. Thank you for proving my point that FSE is NOT SAFE FOR KIDS and NOT SAFE FOR TOURISTS as long as people like Timothy Dudley, 31 years old, are hanging out on that eight block stretch of methheads.

    Tourists should type "Timothy Dudley Vegas" in Google to pull up the article. It's about a habitually lying Juggalo who got butthurt that some guy didn't give him change for crack money (maybe meth money?). So he threatened to "beat his ass", and a fight continued to escalate from there until Dudley pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the chest, severing a HUGE artery that needed 15 pints of blood to replace.

    During the arrest, Mr. Dudley, in his meth-powered rampage, bashed his head repeatedly against the confines of the squad car, causing parts of the cage and windows to fall off.

    I actually recognized and knew this fuck. Not on good terms.

    I don't even know how to describe how I felt here. Within 2 minutes of leaving the parking garage, we all knew we had made a mistake. I know that Fremont Street provides the nostalgia of "old Vegas," but it encases all the parts of the city that I can happily do without. In the 30 minutes we wandered around here, I saw more prostitutes and cracked out people than I saw in my whole 5 days on the strip. It was just flat-out awkward.

    I agree with the other reviewers that this is a much more low-maintenance spot to drink and gamble in Vegas, but if you're a fan of the more modern, visually pleasing and less tacky Vegas, stick to the strip.

    I love Fremont Street! This area of town has so much more personality than the Strip does. Your money also goes much further down here too.

    Over the past few years Downtown has gone through a huge revitalization. There is still the old fashion Vegas, but now they have a nice mix of new fun stuff like 3rd Street, Insert Coins, Zappos are just a few. There are some awesome hidden gems like Triple George and Mermaids (Deep fried Oreos, YUM) scattered all over the place on Fremont Street.

    As for making your money go further, the room rates are much lower down here, the machines are looser, the restaurants are cheaper, and the fine dining is a fun experience, instead of being stuffy like the Strip places.

    Fremont Street is also huge on entertainment. There is regularly bands playing, artists making stuff, characters roaming around, and everything I between. The last time I was down there I saw KISS, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain Jack Sparrow, Elvis and a dozen other characters roaming around. Never a dull moment!

    Get out there and check out Old School Vegas that has evolved into this awesome new neighborhood of crazy fun.

    Fremont Street was my favorite part of visting Vegas... and it was in the day time AND I was sober!

    I loved how they blocked off the street and enclosed it in what I think was a canopy of lights for the light show at night.  We passed two stages but no music playing, but that would be so much fun.

    We gambled a bit and took home some money so that was cool.

    We found parking at a free lot by 7-eleven a couple blocks away, loved that!

    Next time I come to Vegas I want to stay here.  I have been to the Strip so many times so the Femont Street Experience is just what I need next time.

    They also had a zip line rigged up down the street, very cool!

    Go in the evening!  The lights are mesmerizing and are a true show.

    Fremont Street is less formal and more casual, you will find more interesting characters on Fremont than on the Strip.  Most people here will have lots of liquid courage since the drinks here are big and strong and you won't be able to walk a block without having the opportunity to buy a drink.  The original hotels of Vegas with all the classic décor.  Both Fremont and the Strip are great experiences and completely different.  You'll find less expensive and still quality food on Fremont.  This is where you will find the true grit of Vegas - I love the "real" feel found here.

    Take the bus if you're staying on the Strip, it's cheep and will save on the taxi or rental car costs.

    After dark is the best time to go.  Just walking the street at night provided over an hour of free visual entertainment; from the billions of lights everywhere to the highly unusual people that come out of the woodwork at night to the unique and random talents of the street performers.  

    It's a classic Vegas place to sight-see.
