Every time I visit Fremont Street, I always think of that 80's U2 music video, "I still haven't found what I'm looking for", before they revamped downtown to attract more tourists.
The only good thing Downtown Las Vegas has going for it is the Fremonet Street Extravaganza starting from the Plaza Hotel all the way towards the Fitzgeralds and now called the D Resort which is a stupid name if you ask me and I think Downtown is trying to go hip just like the main strip. I haven't stayed in Downtown Las Vegas yet but plan to sooner or later just to compare this to the strip where I usually stay at and this being old Vegas, you have better comps for low rollers, cheap food and cheap entertainment. Live bands are scattered all around the Fremont Street and so are vendors and street performers looking to make some tips in the dying city you call North Las Vegas.
Above you is the zip line which is pretty cool but I've been on better zip lines compared to this and I give it some thought. The crowd around here is not the best look since it's North Las Vegas, you are more likely to run into crackheads, homeless people, ghetto, low class and the usual tourists.
