| - The Fremont St. Experience rules. It flat out RULES.
Ok, ok, bear with me here.
I know, I KNOW, it's an AV Club presentation on a grandiose scale. I know there are sometimes really lame songs and lamer clip art graphics and that, even thought it's the desert, sometimes on winter nights it's bitingly cold and it's annoying to crane your neck at such an angle and experience post-nasal drip.
HOWEVER, it is awesome because:
1) Half-yard drinks, you call 'em, $5. I don't care how ridiculous you look carrying it around, it's a deal and you don't really stand out, I swear.
2) Amazing mullet-spotting opportunities. These are mullets from AROUND THE WORLD and they are spectacular. Do not miss this.
3) Deep fried Twinkies. And Oreos. They'll probably deep fry that half eaten slice of pizza you picked up down the street for a nominal fee. Too bad that there's not a hospital or heart care facility nearby.
4) Seriously, that thing IS pretty damned impressive.
5) You're in VEGAS. It's a THREE BLOCK LONG TV. It's blaring Sinatra or Billy Ray Cyrus or Vivaldi. If you don't see how this is funny and surreal, your sense of humor is broken.
Downtown ain't the strip. It ain't classy. There are no ultra lounges. For these reasons, and so many more, it's the best place in town. The Experience happens to be the heart of it. Just enjoy it. Seriously.
