We always go to the strip so this time we not only got a hotel in downtown but experienced alot of Freemont. We had a blast. We like the fact that they had a lot of free entertainment. There were bands that play until 1:30 in the morning and the light show is amazing. I enjoyed it because you see all types of people and they are friendly not like on the strip. Plus if you want to go to the strip, just hop on the bus and go to the strip. Drinks are way cheap in Freemont. You could get $2 bottle beers and super easy to buy drinks in the convenience stores and walk around with them. Is this for kids no, I don't think much of Vegas is for kids.
