The back story

About Downtown and Fremont East: the back story

Downtown is old Las Vegas: Fremont Street’s canopy, the vintage resorts and the city’s best museums.

Fremont Street

The canopy of the Fremont Street Experience covers a long stretch of Fremont Street, with Circa, the Golden Nugget and the Plaza.

Fremont East

Bars, El Cortez and Downtown Container Park line East Fremont Street.

Downtown is where Las Vegas began.

Museums

The Mob Museum and the Neon Museum are both downtown.

Our advice: spend an evening here, ideally with a Neon Museum night tour.
