Fremont Street Experience

The basics

Featuring concerts, light shows, and multiple casinos, the Fremont Street Experience is one of Vegas’ biggest attractions.

Things to know before you go

• Visit during the day and at night to see all sides of the Fremont Street Experience.

How to get there

The Fremont Street Experience sits in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, between Las Vegas Boulevard and Eighth Street. The double-decker Deuce bus ferries passengers between the Strip and Fremont Street, but if you’re in a hurry, a taxi or car is the best way to get there. Parking at the Fremont Street Experience garage is free with validation from any of several participating casinos.

When to get there

The Fremont Street Experience always offers entertainment, but the best time to visit is at night when neon lights shine and Viva Vision Shows light up the video screen ceiling on the hour.

Non-gambling attractions on Fremont Street

Whether you’ve blown your budget or simply need a break from the slots and tables at the historic Las Vegas hotels and casinos, the Fremont Street Experience offers plenty more entertainment.

Soar above the crowds on the SlotZilla zipline, snap a selfie with $1 million in cash at the iconic Binion’s casino, stroll past historic neon signs at the Neon Museum, brush up on your mob history at the Mob Museum, do some shopping in Downtown Container Park, or watch the fish swim by at the Golden Nugget Shark Tank. Some of these attractions require Fremont Street experience tickets.

Ways to explore

The Fremont Street Experience is among the most popular places away from the Strip, thanks to its mix of attractions and entertainment, including live music, casinos, and even a two-level zipline—SlotZilla.

Alternatively, join a history-themed tour, or try a downtown Las Vegas food experience for traditional sightseeing mixed with food and drink tastings.
