Time Out says

Visit the original Las Vegas. It all started downtown with the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino, the location of the city’s first working telephone.

What is the Fremont Street Experience?

The city’s original downtown was down on its luck until it received a remodel and got its light canopy in 2004. The incredible LED light display, called Viva Vision, not only rejuvenated this casino quarter but also made it a must-visit on any trip to Las Vegas. On the hour shows projected on the 1,375-foot-long, 90-foot-wide screen currently feature songs and accompanying graphics from artists like Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry, Shakira, and Tiesto.

Is the Fremont Street Experience worth visiting?

There’s a reason 24 million people visit the Fremont Street Experience, so why shouldn’t you? Tucked under the 90-foot tall canopy is a six-block pedestrian corridor and entertainment district. On weekends, live bands play on three stages and there are eight casinos, hundreds of restaurants of bars, and lots to take in. It’s also home to SlotZila, an 850-foot Zipline, and 1,750-foot Zoomline, where you can take in the action from above.

What’s the best way to see the Fremont Street Experience?

Head down and take it all in. It’s free.

Where is good to eat around the Fremont Street Experience?

There are plenty of restaurants inside the many casinos lining the pedestrian mall and the city’s Arts District is just blocks away. For steak, check out Vic & Anthony's inside the Golden Nugget or visit Circa for a deli sandwich at Saginaw's or Asian cuisine from 8 East.
