Five Cool Things to Do on Fremont Street

A trip to Las Vegas wouldn't be complete without checking out Fremont Street and the Fremont Street Experience. More than just a pedestrian mall, the Fremont Street Experience is an attraction in itself, with fantastic shows and more on offer for those looking for a fun day or night out. Fremont Street as a whole has bars, restaurants, a light show and, of course, a casino. Being the second most famous street in Las Vegas, Fremont Street has quite a rep to protect, so expect to be wowed. Before the Fremont Street Experience was built and before the Strip reigned supreme, Fremont Street was the center of action in Las Vegas.
