About
Located in downtown Las Vegas, this pedestrian mall spreads over five blocks along Fremont Street. Home to many casinos and hotels—including Golden Gate Hotel and Casino and Binion’s Gambling Hall and Hotel—it's also known for jaw-dropping shows and fun activities, from free concerts to the 12-story SlotZilla Zipline. Come just before evening to catch Viva Vision, a light and sound show that takes place on the world’s largest video screen—an LED canopy that spans 130,000 square feet. To make sure you don't miss any of the highlights, there's a variety of day and night walking tours available. – Tripadvisor

    Nice place to visit.
    The canopy was nice. Not only the images going down it but the shade it provided. Everything was cheaper than the strip. Great place to eat. Buy stuff we had seen on the strip but at half the price. While we were there it was not too crowded. Was a nice chance to slow down and enjoy things. We left just as the night life was kicking off. A live band started Playing. It was so loud I couldn’t stay any longer.

    Fremont St is the party scene!
    Go here if you are in the party scene. Music is very LOUD & drinks are everywhere for purchase. Wear good sneakers or walking shoes. People are on the street always trying to sell you anything & everything. Expect to be bumped and jostled in the crowd. We took an Uber both ways as it was too far to walk from our hotel.

    It is an experience
    No teens only adults. I think this is best experienced in the evening. They had free concerts with real acts. However, the action started in the late afternoon. There were cheap eats to be had. However, that didn't start until 4 pm. If you are going to bring little kids to vegas, this might be a place to bring them.

    It’s an experience you can’t miss
    We would highly recommend putting this on your must-see list (and if you are lucky, make sure you book the Neon Museum tour before visiting here to learn more about Old Vegas). This is the original Vegas with all the old, classic casinos that older generations remember such as the Golden Nugget or Vegas Vic. This part of Vegas has now been revived and is much more tolerable in terms of walking than the modern Las Vegas strip. It's quite entertaining too as there are great performances and acts throughout the street and when we visited, it also had what they called a Dancing DJ and she was a great DJ. Here is also where you will find the famous zipline and the IMAX-like ceiling which is the first thing you will notice walking into the main area. Again, we would highly recommend visiting here if you can as we were upset we missed all this excitement on our first trip but lucky enough to see it on our second.

    Two Older Couples Find Something To Do
    Flew in to LV to meet another couple for a 5 day vacation. We decided to checkout this place. Heard about this place a long time ago. It is also that my wife and I haven't been in LV in over 30 years. Cool place to come to for several hours. The area has shop, bar, casinos, and street entertainment. The gigantic TV screen 40 feet above is cool looking. The visual effect and the sound to the visual was cool also. There are at least 4 old time casinos to enter and exit from the street. This area looked like and open container area to drink your favorite beverage. We travel here during the daytime. Would be a little weary to come at night. But will try it the next time I come in a few months.

    You don't have to spend money to have a good time
    All we did was walk the street up and back. Very colourful, well patrolled and rather crowded if you're still wearing masks. But the street is lit up brighter than a Christmas tree. There is lively music up and down the street and if only stopping to watch for a song or two, it is well worth it. Many lively characters too. We didn't go on the zipline, so unsure of the cost. The smell of marjiuna is a little over powering at times. People were generally respectful of each other, having a good time. Drinks a plenty and casinos everywhere, it was a fun experience. We parked in a nearby parking station for USD $5.00

    Visit to Fremont Street Experience
    My wife and I visited Fremont Street on our Las Vegas vacation and enjoyed it…for the most part. We stopped by the Golden Nugget and Four Queens casinos to eat and try are luck. Both were great and we enjoyed the experience. Walking Fremont Street was an experience. There are a lot of cool things to see along the way with many of the entertainers performing. Live music, live vibe and of course the zip line and light show are neat. I would not bring my children to this experience. Some of the entertainment was definitely adult oriented and not kid friendly. There were a number of people staggering around obviously highly drunk or on something. Sleezy to some degree. Overall, we enjoyed a few hours downtown. It’s worth the taxi ride from the strip.

    Amazing Freemont Time.
    Amazing, lots to do with live music, food and drink. Felt very safe street performers all have their own allocated areas so no one persists with there pitch. Be ready to have your eyes open with a few risky outfits - just feel ok saying no thanks to anyone. Even we returned on the bus late at night felt very safe

    Nearly 2000’ of Free Fun
    The pedestrian only street offers a lot to see and enjoy. There are many street performers doing their acts (drums, balancing, costumed characters, dancers and more). The performers seem to be restricted to circles painted on the pavement. There are also more formal music performers on large stages. The overhead light show on the canopy is visually interesting. There are plenty of drink and food options.

    Some of the things that was on our list is, The Motown Experiences, The Blue Moon Group, The O. and the Circus D Olay, y
    The Lights are amazing. Never saw Anything as Beautiful as that. Just Loved It. Can't wait to go back. We will definitely be visiting Vegas again this Year. We wished it was not so Far from the main Hotels and Resorts that's on the strip.

This is a very busy place to be. Downtown Las Vegas. The canopy of lights is so bright that even in the day you can see it well. At night, especially Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, it gets extremely busy. If you are going to Las Vegas, this is a must-see. All of the old casinos with the neon lights is a step back in time. Then you add the millions of modern LED lights that play video and music above you, and it is pure entertainment. They have bands that play on a stage at night, and there are a lot of people dressed up trying to get you to pay them $2 to take your picture with them. Also street performers looking for a few bucks. But you have to see it!

You can get from the strip to Freemont street by bus either the "duece" or "sdx" and it'll cost you $8 for 24hrs. Lots to see and do. Street performers drumming on 5 gallon pails, rolling roses out of reeds you name it it's happening. 3 different stages with dj's live music, it's a none stop party in the evening. Casino's along Freemont were very busy with a lot of action. Didn't feel threatened at all although getting there it seems a little skeatchy. You'll need a full evening to experience it all.

Download the Lyft app on your phone and it will cost you about $10 to get there. Really a different expereience from the Strip. Home of the Golden Nugget and Four Queens to mention a few. Over 12 million LED lights in the overhead canopy with different images happening all the time! Free entertainment all over the place and the people watching is second to none!

We visited here as part of our day using the Deuce bus, $8 a person for 24hrs a great way to get about the strip.

For me I felt that in comparison to the south end of the strip Fremont area felt run down, with more dodgy characters around.

The digital ceiling is cool but not really enough to keep us in the area for more than 30 mins. There is a zip wire there which is fun too watch along with a few street artists.

Personally I preferred the area by the Linq which also has a zip wire, and street artists .

Worth a visit to see what down town Las Vegas looks like!

Downtown Vegas has come an incredibly long way from where it was 20 years ago. The Freemont Street Experience is a sight to behold with the Canopy and the mass of people there on a nightly basis. The best part of it is on most nights, there are 3 - 5 bands playing fantastic music to suit most tastes and it's all free. Get your drinks at the outside bars instead of the casinos. It's usually cheaper, though you can get cheap beers at Binions. Plenty of casinos for gambling are bunched together and more affordable than on the strip. Don't let a trip to Vegas end without going downtown.

One of the best Vegas experiences. Easy to get to via The Deuce. Always seems to have great entrainment on stage, lots of people, great sound and the multi-media experience on the roof is amazing. While ads promote cheaper drinks than on the Strip that’s not something I observed but neither are they more expensive.

I was so excited to see the world’s largest arch screen ceiling, I was definitely amazed by how long and how high definition it is !!
The screen covers the whole street, there are stages along the way, the two at both ends have singers performing, atmosphere is excellent, the street is super busy, filled with all kinds of artists as well as some half naked girls...
We took a walk there while we were waiting for our table at the Rock Pizza around the corner.
This area looks much older than the Las Vegas Blvd for sure, but it is an interesting experience, and as they said, “ drinks are not only allowed but also encouraged” on this street!
Pizza was good, but not cheap... a regular size one cost over $20, FYI.
You should at least go see the cool screen if you are visiting Vegas !

The overhead show was awesome. Some of the entertainment is pretty good and some of the entertainers are rude. Be aware the show girls and most photo opportunities will cost $20 per person to take picture. Not worth it in my opinion. Overall an amazing place. The neon and lights take you back to another time.

Great time any day of the week and evening is the best (all the weird and fascinating acts come out. They do expect a tip if photo’s or extended gawking is done.Cant help it you’ll see the craziest stuff. We felt very safe as there were security/police roaming the area on feet and bikes.

My friends and I visited Fremont Street on a Saturday night during a NASCAR and boxing match weekend. My friend wanted to see Brett Michaels. You have to enter metal detectors to get to see the performers otherwise you are walking around the stage and you have to keep moving. There is a screen to see the performers and they also intermittently put the performer on the canopy over the street.

We bought beer and mixed drinks with ease from the outside bar. Getting into the neighboring casinos can be a little tricky if there are a lot of people to use the restrooms. We also enjoyed the many street performers. There are also a few dispensaries in on Fremont Street and lots of places to eat. Special events parking was $20. This is a good place to hang if you don’t want to walk the main strip.
