    I haven't walked through Fremont Street in years. Seems like the people still enjoy it. Live music playing that you can listen to while walking. A lot of people from all walks of life. Shops casinos and restaurants so many to choose from. Eureka and Lei Thai are great spots there are also some fantastic steak houses to choose from. If you have time jump on the zip line. Enjoy your trip.

    Never a dull moment on Fremont street! There are a couple stages with live performances. Music playing with line dancing happening. I even joined in during the Cupid shuffle. Plenty of bars and restaurants. You may even see a few people zip lining above you.

    The Fremont Street has changed a lot over the time, I still remember my first visit here years ago prior to their renovations. The street is cleaner now, although still full of open bars and smokes in the air. I found it's quite impressive to explore its iconic Viva Vision Canopy, which is the world's largest LED screen covering five blocks throughout the pedestrian mall. I've learnt that the visual patterns most play every hour starting around sunset.

    Fremont Street Experience is a whole different vibe compared to the Las Vegas Strip -- and honestly, that's what makes it fun. The energy here feels more chill, a little gritty in a classic Vegas way, and perfect if you just want to walk around with a drink in hand and soak in the chaos. There's always something happening. Live bands playing, street performers everywhere, people dancing, casinos lining the street, and just endless people-watching opportunities. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even do the zip line that runs above the crowd, which is pretty wild to watch even if you're not riding it yourself. Now... let me tell you about one of the more *interesting* Fremont moments. I took a picture with a couple of street performers wearing lingerie who were posing with tourists. They were super friendly at first and said they only accept donations. I had $40 cash on me, so I figured that would be more than fair. They already had three poses ready like it was a full photo routine. After the pictures, I handed them $20 each... and suddenly the mood changed. They told me it's actually $50 per person. Listen... I'm not paying $100 for three quick pictures on Fremont Street. I told them that's all the cash I had and kept it moving. Vegas hustle is real out here, so just a friendly heads up. Clarify the price *before* you take the photos. That little moment aside, Fremont Street is still a great time. Grab a drink, watch the live music, enjoy the performers, and embrace the slightly chaotic Vegas energy. Overall, it's a fun stop if you want a different Vegas experience outside of the Strip.

    Fremont is always worth a trip when visiting Vegas. It's got that old Vegas vibe and a ton of entertainment. There's so much to see and do that everybody can find something. Then of course there's the light show and you could watch for hours. At one point we were even treated to fireworks (light show fireworks). Lots of vendors selling silly things, souvenir shops, street bars, food, a stage for a band, casinos, zip lining and more. Fremont has it all.

    Felicity C.

    Always love the vibes here, totally different from the strip. My favorite is definitely the famous light show and all the artists. Fun and chill with your hoodie and sneakers. Definitely much cheaper on everything here comparing to the strip.

    Hope, peace, joy and love this is what Christmas is about !

    That spark of optimism and inspiration! Do you have it? We lack that! The energy and the confidence to continue so we set out to rediscover ourselves. We remember the importance of life and how we need to set aside other stuff sometimes. We must get out. The stimulation of Fremont Street is a must. The lights flicker all around you. Careful then someone will fly over you. There is nothing mundane here truly. Except the things that will make you smile and maybe some that will make you cry. Let's just be happy and laugh some . It's been years since I've gravitated towards Fremont! They have changed it so much! New all over. They have remade the old into better . Like really! The original is still here but nice and shiny. It's more simple down here that old world feel of Vegas. It's not crime ridden like it was either. That old pee smell is gone too . It more family friendly too. My children as young children grew up here and this was not a good place to bring them . This was their culture. It's gotten a lot better . Being a local we can see the difference and if your a local make a decision to come and see. The music, let it play. It's loud and then even more louder . The fun of the live music is that much more fun . Everyone is dancing. They can feel the rhythm and feel the sound as it flows through you. That wave of emotions and energy comes to life as you move and turn . Roll your hips and shoulders. The motions are an enchanting sensation. Let it fill you up. What's not to love about Fremont Street. The vibes of the neighborhood will lure you towards the main streets. The music is the heart and let it be your pulse as you shine .

    I came to Vegas at least three times a year. And let me tell you I do not stay on the strip. Fremont has it all! Of course I always like to stay at Circa. We come every year for Super Bowl, and it never disappoints! From casinos that are right next to each other to all the restaurants. This is the place to stay! Don't mind the weirdos all around. It's always a great time people watching!

    Schquita J.

    Lest just say you are going to see any and everything, the strip is more for the kids downtown is more adults as you be subject Vegas night life it's cool , if you have a vibe it will be a ride .

    Brian H.

    Hell yes ... this place is a lot of fun. Between the music- the people - they are half the fun to watch - and the Casinos - binions - it's a win. Do the zip line- do it all. They have lots of food choices . And be prepared to Elaine a little . You can get here easy from the bus line . Be sure to get the right bus back to the strip .

    Fremont Street is a must visit place in Las Vegas. I came here at night, and it felt like a blast on a budget. There's plenty of free attractions to enjoy. There's a huge screen that towers above the street, acting as a tent/cover. At night, there's a free light and sound show called Viva Vision. As I walked further down Fremont Street, there were also live performances. The lights were dazzling, but the sounds sure were loud. Note that this is a popular destination. There's a lot of people... and the parking garages I found all require payment. One way around it is to park at a casino, eat at their restaurant, and get parking validation.

    Emily N.

    This is a must if visiting Vegas. Lots of street performers and just plain ole people watching. Lots of lights, music and the screen above plays with the music. This is easily accessible using the deuce bus.

    Kyle H.

    3.5 stars rounding up, it's touristy af, but who cares? The video screen that runs for two blocks is pretty incredible. We walked the whole thing and were lucky to find the BBQ place near the end, and caught a very run of the mill all girl cover band that I've seen the likes of a million times living in Chicago. But still, it was a nice diversion to hear live rock music while drinking the biggest beers in the world and seeing people zip line above it all. Not fancy, it's very crowded, and somewhat family friendly except we did see butts and boobs after 9pm of some troupe. Head down E. Fremont Street for more locals and their low riders, and a flame blowing Praying Mantis that bops to hip hop in real time. Be a tourist, it's Vegas.

    Anyone been to Fremont experience at Christmas time?

    What happens after 9 pm the 1st Friday of the month?

    Yes it's a special block party for that area they close down all the shops and everything you must be over 21 years of age to enter after certain time on first Fridays and security is very tight!

    Where do you buy tickets?and are muggings often

    You don't need tickets, it's free! And I've never heard of any muggings, it's very safe there.

    Are dogs allowed on Fremont street?

    Only from 5 a.m. until noon, and they must be on a leash three feet long or shorter. Doubt many businesses would allow dogs inside...

    Free parking? At least within reasonable walking distance when you have a toddler. We're local but don't have ID's yet to get any free validation

    There are some off the way street parking down past but the easiest thing will be to just park at The Plaza and literally your there.

    **Crockfords Las Vegas - City View One-Bedroom Suite Review**…read more My recent stay at Crockfords Las Vegas, part of Hilton's prestigious LXR Hotels & Resorts, was a truly exclusive experience.

The City View One-Bedroom Suite was a haven of comfort and style. Spanning approximately 1,100 square feet, the layout felt spacious yet intimate, with thoughtful design that maximized comfort and style. Floor-to-ceiling windows provided breathtaking, panoramic views of the vibrant Strip skyline, a dramatic backdrop that transformed my evenings into something truly magical. The king-sized bed was adorned with sumptuous luxury linens that invited relaxation, while the expansive living area offered ample seating for unwinding after a day of exploration. **Resorts World Las Vegas Fitness Center: An Oasis of Wellness** In the exclusive corridors of Resorts World Las Vegas, the fitness center stands as a sanctuary for both avid fitness enthusiasts and health-conscious travelers.

Now there are no kid features. At night the casino vibe was okay. They seemed generous with the drinks and had decent service. Shower pressure compared to other hotels was average. It wasn't bad, but not strong like many we have stayed at. Possible black mold on shower caulk. Biggest issue was the firm bed. My lower back hurt when I woke up. This didn't happen at the hotel we had left the night before. For those reasons, especially the bed, we might try Crockfords next time, but will never stay at Hilton again. Too many places to stay at in Vegas. Room was the smallest we ever had in Vegas too. Enjoy!

    I just wrapped up my first stay at the M Resort, and I'm already looking forward to coming back!…read moreI've walked through this place a few times before and had high hopes--happy to say it lived up to my expectations. First Impressions: The hotel has one of the best scents in Vegas; if you know, you know. Whatever they're using in the vents, paired with their designated smoking areas, really keeps the air noticeably fresher than most other casino hotels. Check-In & Service: Big shoutout to Kim at the front desk for such a warm welcome. She gave us a choice between a room close to the elevator or midway down the hall, and advised going with the latter since the hotel was hosting a cheer convention (i.e., excited kids everywhere!). Her advice was spot on and her customer service was top notch. Truly a fantastic way to start our weekend. Room: Our room was gorgeous: spacious, super clean, and well maintained. We had a great pool view, loved the privacy door for the toilet, and the stone-walled shower with a bench was a nice upgrade. There was also a large soaking tub with a clear view into the bedroom, a desk, and a separate seating area with two ridiculously comfy leather chairs. Pool & Amenities: After unpacking, we went straight to the pool. The main area has two large pools separated by a walkway and cabanas, with two jacuzzis at the end near a huge outdoor screen. There's also a day club if you're looking for a party vibe, complete with its own bar, pool, cabanas, and a live DJ. We enjoyed relaxing in the sun and loved the easy access to drinks from the mid-bar or roaming servers (didn't get a chance to try the food this time, but maybe next visit!). Parking & Fees: There is plenty of parking available in the lots, which makes coming and going a breeze. A $40 or $50 daily resort fee does apply, but that's pretty typical these days and didn't feel out of the ordinary. Final Thoughts: Every detail, from the clean air to the thoughtful service and beautiful property, made this a memorable stay. M Resort is definitely a notch above most Vegas hotels. Highly recommend, and can't wait to come back!

Then I was given a hard time because the reservation was originally under my wife's name. She was unable to make the trip with me in the end because our babysitter was late, and instead of trying to help, the staff told me I had to deal with the booking company myself. Even after I provided them with a new reservation under my own name, they still made me wait another hour because their system supposedly hadn't updated yet. After a 7-hour drive, they basically left me sitting in the lobby with no real assistance or effort to help resolve the situation. To make things worse, I later received an email confirming I could have a late checkout until 1 PM, but they deactivated my room key at 11 AM, which prevented me from getting back into the room to pack my belongings. In the end, they also charged me for late checkout after specifically telling me they would not charge me. Overall, this was the worst service I've experienced in Las Vegas, and I visit Vegas about four times a year. We decided to try a new hotel this time, but I definitely will not return and would not recommend this place to any friends or family.

I'm a believer in offering options for using dining credit to make it easier for everyone to actually use it. Usually the credit is available for 48 to 72 hours after printing at a kiosk. Other monthly casino promotions include weekly gifts and drawings. Silverton has been pretty unique (tho not alone) in offering branded gifts. Lately I've received a Silverton branded travel mug, T shirt, tote bags and hats. I share it as often as I keep it. Their restaurant variety is impressive and includes Starbucks. Food and beverage inconsistency is a big reason for my 3 star rating.

The heat of Vegas is coming . Let's stay cool . Are you looking to stay off the strip and for a few days they give discounts when you book extra days in a row. They offer natural lighting from the outdoors for the casino. The parking is free here and it's not clustered with all sorts of Las Vegas traffic. It's safer than the strip too. Close to all sorts of things to do and see! It's probably more locals focused and offers around two hundred rooms. This hotel still has that new smell, with fresh paint type of air. The gambling is on point . The sports book is all open ready for your bets. It's unique too comes connected to the George Restaurant and its features indoor and outdoor seating . Wow! And it's not even busy . Again they have a bar called Drink with indoor and outdoor seating too . The prices are lower than the ridiculous ones that's on the strip. Come out and see what's happening with a little slower part of Vegas . Play some table games or try your luck at something other digital game. The black jack tables are low at a ten dollar minimum. Remember to stay here too the hotel rooms are new and truly lovely! What's not to love that new Casino Smells here at the Durango Casino.

While we were here this time we indulged in some ice cream and really enjoyed the hand made ice cream. It really tasted handmade with bits of real strawberries in it. Last time we were here it was a special occasion and we went all out. We walked all though the strip just to get here to ride the gondola. Boy was that fun. No, it wasn't the same as the ones in Venice (I know because I've been in Venice and ridden one of their gondolas), but you know that going in. You're in Vegas so I didn't expect the same thing. I was looking forward to the Vegas version of this classic ride and I got it. Was it over priced? Yes. At the same time you get what you pay for. A fun ride around the camels in the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. There was supposed to be an photographer taking our picture so we can buy at the end, but his camera malfunctioned so we didn't get the shot. This was a huge disappointment as I'm all about pictures and I really wanted the opportunity to see the glamorous shot the professional photographer took and if it captured the. Moment like i had I would have bought it. Fortunately we weren't totally relaying on him. We brought our own camera and took the perfect shot with the gondolier in the background and the bridge when you come out. It was perfect. You didn't have all the busyness of Vegas in the background. I'm overly thrilled with my photo, I got exactly what I paid for a fun ride and the perfect shot to frame and remember this day. And yes, I really did frame it and it sits on my piano. As long as you know what you're paying for, it's totally worth it. And now that you've seen my shot and know that it's taken at the end of the ride when you come out from under the bridge, you can get the same shot too. Have fun and enjoy Vegas and the Venetian. Maybe even walk around the quaint streets and have some ice cream after your ride.

    The Venetiancontinues to be one of my favorite places on the strip for many reasons. I like the…read moreroom quality, ease of parking/transportation, casino vibe, and restaurant selection. For the Hotel/Resort: The basic rooms here are better than the majority of other strip hotels. I personally think its top 3, even a small upgrade here gets you a very spacious room. I have stayed in the regular rooms and suites at both The Venetian and The Palazzo. The venetian rooms are more updated, but the Palazzo rooms are good too. The self parking has a lot of spaces but ingress/egress is easier at The Palazzo. However the valet parking here is faster compared to other resorts. The rideshare pickup/dropoff is good too. The casino floor is bright, clean, and good gaming variety. For the slots, I like that they have both old and new machines. I like the older "top dollar" and "run for your money" machines. I also like some of the new machines like KONG . They also have a great variety of video poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps! I have yet to play at the tables here but they have a good variety. The beverage service is good, but coverage/timing could be improved. I feel like some parts of the casino floor do not get as much service. They also have a great variety of food and restaurant options for all budgets. My personal favorite here is Estiatorio Milos. A close second would be SushiSamba. However, I have never had a bad meal here. I also recommend Sugarcane, Chica, Cote, and Smith/Wollensky. I still want to try the other options here! Overall great place to stay or check out. I always leave here feeling great!

Staff, security personnel and casino hosts are always friendly and accommodating. We have been coming here for years and are always greeted by name with a smile which you don't get at most casinos. Nik, Ali, Scottie, and Steve are the coolest casino staff by far. They recently did a great job with the remodel and added more casino floor/machines. Bathrooms are always clean and lots of locals play here so ambiance is so fun and chill. There is a variety of food choices inside. Eats here are pretty solid with fair prices. From BBQ ribs, burgers, prime rib at the Village Pub to a sandwich stand and pizza joint. There's even a hotdog stand on the weekends. The Front Yard is also a great place to grab a drink and watch sports. Ellis Island always has a great vibe and we will keep coming for years with friends and family.

The tables were packed since it's a small area and it's cheaper than on the strip. They expanded a few areas and it's clean. There's a pizza place that's very affordable as low as $3.75-$5 per slice. They have a roof top bar (third floor). It was a Thursday night and apparently it's their busiest night and you need reservations. The place was packed with every seat filled, we didn't get to stay but we were allowed to do a walk through. Totally my vibe with a deejay playing hip and R&B with people chilling and vibing.

First, the good... it's still cool. I mean, not cool as in temperature (in general they keep it much too warm in there), but interesting decor and art. Although it needs to be updated and freshened up a bit. The VIP lounge (for Platinum/Noir MGM members) is nice. They even have menus listing the available food and drink options. The bad... the AC is terrible. The hallways were cooler than our room but the elevators were stifling and even the gaming floor is kept too warm. We called for help with our AC and they couldn't do anything except bring us a fan and give us a small food and beverage credit. The tech in the room is awful too. Our TVs didn't work for much of the trip, which was a problem as we were hosting friends to watch election returns come in. Again, nothing they could do as it was a "system outage". And the internet was even worse. Most of the time it would barely allow downloads. It was also impossible to get anyone to help you - particularly on the phone. We were there during the week, NOT on a weekend, and still any call to the front desk or operator was met with very long hold times. There is also apparently no way to reach the VIP desk on the phone, even though of course they do have phones there. This is still our favorite hotel in Vegas, but it's much closer now. The lack of a real high limit slot room doesn't help (they are "renovating") and we also feel like the slot selection isn't being kept current - almost no new games. Still some great restaurants and those views from the balcony rooms cannot be beat. But some attention needs to be paid to get the Cosmo back in peak form.
