| - After all of the times I've been to Vegas, I've only just now gone to see the Fremont Street Experience. I always hear about its epic light show that is shown on its ceiling, and the awesome performances that take place til the early morning. If you need a break from the Strip, Fremont Street offers a wonderful alternative.
Walking down with fellow friends and Yelpers (including Francis C. and Christine G), I was immediately attracted to the huge screens above my head and the people dancing all across the street. When it struck the hour, we stopped and watched the seizure-inducing lights flash above us. Was it trippy? Hell yes.
This summer it's back to the 80s, so the many performances on its multiple stages have artists performing many of your favorite oldies. Nothing like rocking out to the classics!
Along the street, you'll find miscellaneous booths selling souvenirs, and of course, novelty drinks! If you walk a little deeper into Fremont Street, you'll find the same deliciously frozen, alcoholic smoothies for a lot cheaper ($10 right near Golden Nugget). So be patient! You'll get your buzz going soon enough.
Overall, I enjoyed my trip down Fremont Street, and will definitely visit again when I want to avoid the traffic and distance of the Strip. There's plenty to see, and a couple of places to take touristy photos if you wish.
