Many years ago I made my first visit to the Fremont Experience it was brilliant with superb effects and felt very real, but on my recent visit I was very dissappointed it had lost the realism that made it famous.
This place being in the oldest part of Vegas is far cheaper to shop and use resturants, this is about the only good part of it. Unfotunately like most places it has its fair share of drop outs and drunks, getting to and going around this place especially at night time requires extreme caution.

It is a busy almost carnival atmosphere. Everything is so much cheaper then on the strip. Another great fact is you don't have to walk and walk and walk to get to the next casino. There is all kinds of entertainment all around. There are street performers, music, and the wonderful light show. You can find all kinds of souvenirs and other cool gifts. It isn't as nice as the strip but I feel like the atmosphere is more fun. Go after a show or to take a break from the strip but spend at least one night downtown on Fremont street.

This is awesome! I loved this entire street, all the lights, old hotels, and people! A must see and do!

Stayed at the MGM Grand but did venture twice down to the The Fremont Experince. Bus pass was inexpensive and you can travel up and down the strip as much or as little as you want. What a blast! Very good 99 cent margaritas, beats $14 at the strip hotels. Inexpensive meal deals. Had fun playing video blackjack at the Fremont and actually won some money. Unfortunately missed the light show. Just fun to see all of the "old time" hotels and casinos. All appeared very clean and well kept. Casinos were very busy. $2-3 dollar blackjack tables. Fun place for those like myself who aren't big $ gamblers. Planning on staying in one of the hotels on a return trip. Worth seeing!
