Fremont Street is amazing. This is the street everyone thinks of when they think "vegas." It's the street that has all the old casinos on it, plus the landmarks that most people associate with Las Vegas.
I love anything bright. Neon is no exception. I only wish I would have been alive back during Vegas' hey day to see it how it was, because as you will see, it has definitely been modernized.
The actual Fremont Hotel and Casino. Sorry, some of these pictures came out a little blurry. The signs are soooo bright, and I'm still getting used to my camera.
The Four Queens Casino.
The view down Fremont Street. You can see the dome-like thing built above. They did a light show on this at some point in time during the night. It was neat, but I really wish they would have left this street alone. They also pedestrian-ized it, so you can walk up and down this street with no fear of getting hit by cars.
The cowgirl. I can't find out where my picture of the iconic cowboy went. I'm a little upset about that, too. Hubs has a black and white that was taken by his grandpa from back in the day downstairs, and it would have been pretty awesome to have those side by side.
Binion's Casino.
The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino. You can see the stage with the band on it. There were about three of these stages all with live music. It was sooo crowded there, and some crazy drunk lady decided that she would scold hubsy about something. She had about three teeth (not that there's anything wrong with that), but he couldn't understand her for anything.
In the middle of all this fun? The Golden Goose- a Gentlemen's Club. Oh yes, I kid you not.
A chandelier inside the hotel that's connected to the Golden Nugget. Did you know there was an actual golden nugget somewhere in that casino? We walked around for a good fifteen minutes looking for it, but to no avail.Some other fun things about Fremont Street:
- You can zipline straight through the middle of it. We didn't do it, mainly because it cost a pretty penny, but it did look fun.
- Miller Lite Cans, 2 for $4.
- Street food vendors. Yummmmmm.
- Cute little street vendors with little treasures to sell.
It was so much fun. A trip to Vegas should definitely include a trip to Fremont Street!!

The couple times I've been to Vegas, I've never ventured over to Fremont Street. I've been wanting to go lately and now after hearing about your experience there, I want to go ASAP! I LOVE Las Vegas. I just get astonished by all the neon and bright lights and for some reason I'm obsessed with being surrounded by tourists when I'm a tourist too.
Ah, these pictures are great! I bet the zip-lining would be quite the experience! Hopefully they don't do too much more to Fremont so that the old charm and mystique will always be there.
