Even if you're staying on the strip, you have to make a trip out to Fremont Street/downtown! I love the vibes and the people watching here. There are a lot of restaurants nearby and hotel/casinos you can pop into. The canopy made of LED displays is cool and a fun place for pictures. Lots of street performers. It's an interesting place for sure. Take a picture with Vegas Vic/Vickie, see the million dollar display at Binions, check out the Sigma Derby machine (now at Golden Gate hotel), and have some drinks at the Carousel bar! read more

We went with friends old.Vegas to check out Fremont St. I would definitely recommend checking it out. We had a blast and enjoyed seeing some of the old casinos and hotels. It's about a 15-20 drive from the Strip. read more

Fremont Street is one of those places you have to see at least once -- not because it's perfect, but because it's Vegas in its rawest form. The energy is nonstop, the lights are blinding in the best way, and the people‑watching is honestly unmatched. It's chaotic, loud, and absolutely unforgettable. That said, it definitely leans a bit raunchy. Between the street performers, the skimpy costumes, and the anything‑goes vibe, you'll see things you didn't plan on seeing -- and maybe didn't need to. It's part of the charm for some, but it can be a little much if you're not expecting it. Still, the massive LED canopy, live music, and open‑air bars make it an interesting and entertaining experience. You can wander, grab a drink, catch a free show, and feel like you're in the middle of a neon‑lit carnival. Overall, Fremont Street earns 3 stars from me: wild, weird, and worth checking out -- just know you're stepping into the unfiltered side of Vegas. Bring 1$ bills you'll need to em Enjoy read more

If you want a more orderly experience. Go 1st fridays of each month where it's 21+ only. They check ID; no concealed carry allowed. People watching and just experiencing the sights/sounds is all free. Stop by Circa for the dancers on blackjack tables or head in to one of any of their bars/foods to eat and go. Zipline experiences and 2 separate mini stages for concerts on opposite sides of the street length spanning several blocks. Recommend taking ride share direct and back to the end of the streets near one of the hotel corners. Do not attempt to walk it from Sahara station - too far, too ghetto between. There's always some shady characters and weirdos around and on the way to it though; so just be aware of your surroundings regardless of the time of day. I mean honestly; there's alot to experience there just walking through. read more

I haven't been to Fremont Street in a long time. Came during the day, the light show on the ceiling is always awesome. There is also zip lining available. Bars, restaurants, casinos, and shops are all up and down this street. The working ladies here, who are all dolled up in Vegas outfits , will hustle you for pictures, then ask for money, so be aware!! Nothing is free in Vegas anymore!! This is a lively place though, always something going on. I know it used to really turn up here at night, I'm sure it still does!! The Golden Nugget and the Four Queens are a few of the many Casinos along this street if you want to gamble or eat. Located in Downtown Las Vegas, old Vegas at its finest!! read more

Our first time in vegas with some seasoned travels and this was a must do on their list. It was our first night ever in vegas so this was quite the introduction. The interior is very cool and the sky is pretty. The Zip line looks very fun! It's basically just one large street with tons of bars and bites and lots of shops. Now, my own personal experience I didn't overall care for the street performers or the vibe as I wasn't prepared to see so much boobs and butts. I was slightly horrfied how many young children were there. But, it is vegas so you know what you're getting yourself into. It was fun to enjoy the sights and sounds. Lots of different music genres up and down the strip. We got a big beer, and walked around. We stopped El Cortez and that was neat! I would not go back as we were staying on the strip and it's quite a drive to get there and I didn't care for that type of crowd. read more

Wow I had not been here since 2004! (Oops aging myself) It hasn't changed really, still a little grungy but still old school Vegas The light experience really is something to look at especially when it gets dark- you can even zip line across There are a lot of "different " street performers- anything to get you to pay some $ Lots of cheaper places to drink and dance Easy to get a taxi from the strip over to dt and back Some classic old casinos and food restaurants over here read more

Fremont Street is simply an experience you're supposed to experience in Vegas. I used to visit in the 80s/90s with my family and it was my first stop for this year's visit. Highlights: - Take a taxi from the strip. It's about $25-30 each way. - Cheaper tables are found here! Play for fun without all the regret. - Plenty of restaurants (choose wisely) and cocktails are only steps away from each other - Various stages have live music, from one end of the street to the other - Lots of performers, each looking to entertain the crowd for tips - While it's a grown up environment, there are families everywhere, even during the late hours - Love the lights at night and watching folks zip line above the crowd I've always been told it gets really crazy after midnight. Maybe - but other than a couple of really loud verbal fights, I didn't see anything unusual. Catching a taxi back to the strip was more confusing than I expected, but I struggled to find the line of cars available for pick up. Have fun, be safe, enjoy!! read more

PROS: what a wonderful experience! Bright lights, enclosed pedestrian street, ceiling with moving images, loads of businesses and performers up and down the block, strong police presence CONS: no parking lots around the area so you'll have to uber, dozens of homeless people are present, most places close at midnight on this block despite the block being open 24/7 OVERALL: you need to come and see this place. It's not as big as the current Vegas avenue but that's what makes it great, it won't exhaust you. Come at night when it's cooler and you can see the lights read more

Fremont Street was literally the last stop on The Deuce bus, making it the perfect destination for our final night in Las Vegas. The moment we stepped onto Fremont Street, we were hit with a sensory overload from the enormous, colorful LED canopy stretching overhead. The constantly changing display of lights and music transformed the entire street into something that felt straight out of a sci-fi movie. Fremont Street aka Old Las Vegas, has a completely different vibe from the Strip. Live bands filled the air with everything from country music to classic rock, while crowds of visitors flowed up and down the street, all seemingly in party mode. Around every corner was something new...a caricature artist, a vendor crafting flowers from colorful straws, and glamorous showgirls soliciting photoss. The people-watching alone was worth the trip. Fremont Street attracts every type of visitor imaginable, creating an entertaining mix of personalities that is uniquely Vegas. Adding to the charm were the old-school casinos and hotels, including the Golden Nugget, Four Queens, and Golden Gate. If you were a bit of a dare devil, you could zipline over all this excitement. The Freemont Street experience was the perfect end to our Las Vegas adventure. read more

Visited Fremont and it was a nice experience. We ate at White Castle and then walked a section of Fremont. We went into a couple of stores searching for a drink hubby wanted to try and would be much cheaper buying at a store than at a casino on the strip. He found it and I got a malibu drink. We went into a few casinos and walked around. Not a lot of people during the time we were there. read more

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 . read more

Fremont Street Experience - Hope, peace, joy and love this is what Christmas is about ! - Casinos Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Came to watch fireworks and get a quick vibe. Fremont never disappoints. They had good bands playing on the stages. It was early but still getting packed. Fremont is a great alternative to the traffic and craziness of the strip. Plus the ease of getting around doesn't hurt. Parking is more difficult to find and most places charge unless you are gambling and spend a minimum to get free parking validation. They have food and restaurants along Fremont street so you won't go hungry. Have fun and be safe. There are some strange people walking around. I don't recommend this place for kids after dark. Especially if they are unsupervised. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I haven't really spent a lot of time downtown. First visit was a quick walk through. Now was the chance to actually walk through and see what the fuss was about this place. Pretty much all the time in Vegas we tend to just stay on the strip. Everything is there and just makes it easier without taking the car anywhere. So to be able to check this place out was fun. Parking wise, there's some street parking but a fee applies from the machines or hotel parking. We found a paid lot which price wise was quite good. Think we paid 10.00 for maybe 2 hours. The hotels are slightly different from the main strip. They are older. There's one or two newer hotels. The main experience is maybe 2 blocks long. Lined with casino, souvenirs shops and vendors. It's basically walking through universal city walk. It is covered which is nice. The main attractions of the walk, the zip line overhead. It goes along the whole walkway. You have people walking around and popping in and out of the casino. Solicitors trying to get you to join something. Vegas tourist trap all in one roof. It's a cool experience that you should check out. Casinos and hotels tends to be cheaper as it's off the strip but some still seem the same. I wouldn't want to spend a full day here as it's one end to the other. But if you're gambling, I'm sure you can. There's also a stage that's at one end of the strip. Normally there's something happening but when we were there nothing was going on. We popped into a few of the casino along the strip For a beer and to have a few games on the machine. The games that's part of the bar counter, well they all were a bit run down. Some didn't even have noise while others didn't work. But if you're playing the main slots, they're updated and better. Overall, it was a nice fun experience to walk through. For me, I probably wouldn't stay down here as everything pretty much ends up on the walkway. I like to be able to walk along the strip, pop in the casino, shop and so on. But it was nice to experience it properly. They said the tables tends to be cheaper but it looked the same as the main strip. read more

Well it is true Las Vegas is showing a little sign of decline of business . I can see it myself spending time in Las Vegas in early October. Actually downtown and Fremont experience is busier than the strip because we all know lots of us Hawaii people go to Vegas ha ha . Hopefully they bring down prices and don't charge for everything . On the strip they charge for Valet so far the Boyd's property don't charge , but Golden Nugget , The 'D Circa all charge what a rip off . Everyone also charges resort fee . The room rate may be inexpensive but you get killed with the resort fees . After the pandemic Las Vegas is trying to recover their losses that's why . read more

I went during the day! One hour before car return. Had to speedwalk the whole thing (I don't advise that, you miss out). This HAS to be what Sonic Adventure had in mind when designing Casinopolis. It's not an eerie feel in the day, rather just like a park almost. Still, way better to walk through than the new Strip. The casinos are smoking allowed, and they do have older slots in them. Gift shops are GOOD tho, many items and reasonable prices. read more

Been here about 10-11 years ago! Who said things change! Not Fremont Street still the same old freak show just with different ones! Funny thing is the Casino while they still allow smoking it doesn't seem as prevalent but the stale orders a permeated into the walls and carpeting so it still smells & every so often you run into that person who still enjoys their smoke. On a Monday the Casinos appeared less crowded and so did Fremont St. although that makes you the target for hand outs and solicitors. Fremont St. is what it is and it's truly an experience. read more

Fremont has been hosting some EDM type block parties and they have been super fun to attend! From the likes of Major Lazer to Diplo, these free events have been the highlight of DTLV this Fall! The Djs have been bringing in over fourteen thousand fans (according to DTLV IG page post). Diplo was from 6-10pm last night and it was a great time. The music was bumping and the people were dancing! Many have been saying that Vegas is dying, but, partying with Diplo on a Monday night proves that the city is very much alive :) read more

A must visit if you want to advoid the strip. My bf and I have been here a few times. The area is covered with a huge screen. It gives an illusion that it is still daylight. This is the place to people watch. So many different people. Places to eat. Cheap places to buy stuff you dont need. AKA keychains, magnets, shot glasses. There are 2 stages with live bands all night. There is also the zipline which is fun. Do yourself a favor. When you park, take a picture. We ended up getting lost for blocks. I have a huge blister to prove it. Remember to validate parking. It says free parking, but its not free. We paid $20. Check it out. Its a big party. read more

Definitely a must do just to experience. Wear closed toed shoes as there are lots of liquids on the ground (alcohol, pee... who knows). Best to see it at night when lit up. Great show on the hour. Lots of live music. Tons of street performers and people who are just asking for money. Your senses will be on overload! Lots to see - something's you may wish you could unsee - lots of skunk smell. There are lots of food and drink options there. If you order a drink, be prepared to have 90% alcohol and 10% mixer. They are strong. The pricing is reasonable considering how much alcohol is in there. They also have affordable souvenir stores as well. Be sure to walk the entire street! Lots just go to the end and stop. So much more to see. Tons of terrific restaurants just a block or two off of Fremont as well. A must visit if in Vegas for the first time. Lots of old casinos with low limit games. read more

The Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas is grungy, chaotic, and completely unapologetic, which is exactly why it's fun. It feels wild in the best possible way, with nonstop lights, music, and energy hitting you from every direction. The people watching alone could qualify as its own attraction and is absolutely next level. Everything about it is loud, over the top, and very Vegas, and that's kind of the point. It's not polished or subtle, but if you lean into the madness, it's an entertaining and memorable way to spend some time downtown. read more

I've visited before but I've never been there with my brother, who. Knew exactly what he wanted to see. It was fun watching the zip liners ride across the ceiling in unison while the LED monitors that make up the schilling played some crazy planetary videos of moons and craters flying overhead. The deeper you go into the experience, the more you discover that there are quadrants where different band were playing. One act was a country band, another did ska, another 80s, and another rock. It was so fun, but super loud and my Apple Watch kept dinging about the decibel levels, begging me to go elsewhere. We watched this bear buy do his dance to the music while people watched and we made sure to get out of there before passing the tip cup because I wasn't there for that. They had a lot of souvenir shops, but none of them had a decent sticker section, which is too bad because stickers for my luggage are all I want. Noisy, fun, and a little rundown, I'm glad I finally went in there to really check it out because the music scene was lit. read more

It has been several years since I visited the Fremont Street Experience; seeing it in 2026 it seems like the digital display for the show has been upgraded and now has a higher resolution. Several of the old casinos have either been replaced or rebranded which is the way of Las Vegas. There was still plenty of buskers looking for tips, many of which seemed underclothed in my humble opinion. Not exactly Disneyland for little kids, the Fremont Street Experience is an authenic Downtwon Las Vegas experience. read more

We had two hours before oxtail soup is served at the Cal. We parked and decided to walk the Fremont Experience. In 101 degree weather at 9 pm it wasn't the most pleasant jaunt there. Glad it took up one hour going in a couple stores like ABC which had AC. Lots of Hello Kitty and friends totes, disposable reusable bags saying both Hawái and Las Vegas. Outside 2 bands rockin it, some audience were feeling the rhythm and began dancing. Various people in pairs some in fishnet with whips, 6 pack abs shirtless guys wearing jeans and a few showgirl types decked out in old time feather headdress plus more were spaced out for photo ops. Moving color on the ceiling along with people soaring overhead on cables from one end to almost the other of the event was eye catching. I would describe it as raunchy Las Vegas, while others may say it's a fun spectacle. People of all ages were walking the crowded area like us. read more

I am writing in case Fremont Street Experience management monitors Yelp reviews. I visit Las Vegas frequently; and for more than a decade, I have also organized a group trip the first weekend of March Madness. The Fremont Street Experience has multiple stages, and I am used to seeing a live band on each stage. This year I noticed that there was one live band; the other stages had DJs. I understand that DJs are less expensive than live bands. But I hope that economics aren't so bad that the Fremont Street Experience has to budget cut--especially on big event weekends. read more
