It is worth heading up to the old downtown of Vegas to see the Fremont Street Experience and check out the old casinos, which supposedly pay out more than their strip counterparts. We took the Deuce (the double decker bus system) up for $5. Takes a little while, but a nice tour of the strip, too. more

We took the Deuce to Downtown twice. The Deuce is just $5 for a whole day and it is air conditioned. Because it stops a lot in the strip, it takes a lot to get there, but it is bearable for the price and the fact that it is a cool (literally) sightseeing. So if you want to save some... more

My wife and I have been going to Vegas for years and each trip always includes a trip to Fremont Street. The first few times we went, we always caught at least a couple light shows. They're pretty cool at first, but I think the novelty may have worn off for us. Now we'll stop and watch if we're walking... more

We stayed at Harrah's on the stip which is about 7 miles from Fremont Street so we had to take a cab to get to this FREE "Fremont Street Experience" that had great reviews on Tripadvisor. The cab cost about $27 EACH way. What a freakin' rip off. The light show (on the world's largest television screen...yawn) was okay, but... more

We saw the Freemont Experience about 8 years ago and it was great. If you are already down there it is worth peeking out of a casino for a look but I wouldn't recommend a special trip down there just for the show. Just last November we went again and it was like a strange psychedelic acid trip. I am... more

We went down to Fremont St in the evening for an unforgettable night at the Fremont St experience. The light shows there start at 8.30 then go on the hour from 9pm. We saw the Queen (pop group) light show. It was spectacular and the technology involved is mind boggling. The street is very safe and lots of nifty shops... more

The Fremont Street Experience and downtown Las Vegas are great fun. The light show is always good and they play great music as well. When the light show is not running they usually have live bands playing and all the ones we've seen are great. The whole downtown Las Vegas atmosphere is great and much more enjoyable than the Strip.... more

If you are into poker this is the place to play. The casinos here are smaller and not very grand. Low on the technology of the strip casinos but it is so relaxed and more fun. Mermaid Casino is a very cheap place to grab a "meal". We ate 99 cent hotdogs and free beer (we paid a $4 tip... more

Went to see the last show at 12 midnight. Stayed at Four Queens and thought we'd like to see what old vegas has to offer.Few people were there at the light show. It was just a big display of colorful animations with sound, that's it! Most of the stuff they showed were cartoons, not impressive. Now that I've known it,... more
