    Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas is probably the most famous location in Las Vegas. It's very famous through all the movies and tv-series shot right here.

    You won't miss the latest attraction at Fremont Street. The first thing you will notice when you're in Fremont Street is the domed shaped cover above it. This cover encompasses a 4 lane street in width and a full 4 city blocks in length. It's used to display an hourly light show. The grand opening of this show which is played with 2,1 million lights and 40,000 watts of sound was on the 13th of december of 1995.

    It's the place where Las Vegas was established in 1855 and where, because of mob activities, Las Vegas was put on the map in 1905. Hotel Nevada was the first casino-hotel on Fremont Street in 1906 and the first neon sign appeared in 1934.

    We saw an abstract show about the flora and fauna. We didn't like the show itself that much. but it gave us a very good impression about the Fremont Street Light Experience. After the show we left Downtown Las Vegas via Main Street and Fourth Street and saw a lot of hotels and casinos which have been in operation for many years.

    Fremont Street Experience: Old Vegas; now a dumping ground for drunks!

  • As for Fremont St, just don't bother. Unless that is you really want to see grotty old Vegas and a naff light show that'll have you leaping back in the cab and heading back down past Stratosphere where it starts to look clean again.

    Fremont Street Experience: Partying with the locals

  • Fremont Street Experience was so much fun. Crowded, yet with more locals than tourists, this was a comfortable atmosphere without the Posers and the Intimidators that like to hang out at the clubs on the strip. The light shows were cool, played to techno music every hour on the hour.
    At Fremont Street it's all about the cheap drinks, inexpensive gambling and friendly people. No one here is concerned about "seeing and being seen," nor are they out to intimidate people with their looks and their money; all they care about is having fun and winning money! I was totally in my element here with my hair pulled up and my jeans on. No $20 cover charges, no Barbie & Ken Doll wannabes, no snobs and no long lines to get in...just good fun.

    It was raining this night so we were hopping in and out of casinos or standing under awnings with drinks in our hand, waiting for the rain to stop.

  • Directions: the quickest way would be to take the freeway towards the Golden Nugget and Plaza hotels. Fremont St. runs right past them.

    Fremont Street Experience: Cheap and Fun

  • Fremont Street is a good time for cheap drinks and free entertainment. Since I'm not much of a gambler I mostly sat under the light canopy and sipped on my yard-long Margarita while my friends gambled their hard-earned cash.

  • I would recommend a visit to the Freemont Street Experience, a light show above the street which has been pedestrianized.
    This is something I've seen only in Las Vegas, we watched a mowtown show and I now I'm home, whenever I hear one the songs played in the show I can close my eyes and be back there.

    Fremont Street Experience: A must do: Fremont Street Show

  • Make sure you check out Fremont Street and the shops here. There are plenty of shops here, but the main attraction is the barrel vault canopy (90 feet high) that covers four blocks or approximately 1,500 feet and that lights up at night (check out for show times). Each show begins by turning off the lights on all of the buildings, including the casinos, under the canopy. The next thing you know, the music fills out the air and million of lights are glowing above you! The display of light, color and music is just amazing!

  • Old Vegas is a fun trip with all the old classic casinos. Once the sun goes down every hour on the hour there is a huge overhead light show that encompasses 4 blocks. Lots of street performers and bands and more neon per square foot then anywhere else in town. Great time! Nice to hit some of the dive casinos up this way- ie lady luck or 4 queens and get away from some of the glamour and excess wealth.
