FREMONT STREET WAS THE FIRST PAVED ROAD IN LAS VEGAS
This famous street is second only to the Las Vegas Strip. The Fremont Street Experience was constructed almost 20 years ago and the Fremont Hotel & Casino is in the heart of the area.
Like most of the older hotels in this area, the casino is full of older machines. Some slots even return nickels and quarters, rather than tickets. Beware if you cash out with lots of winnings! It can take a while!! We have fun on these older machines. Most new ones don't take change so it's nice to walk by and put in the last quarter in your pocket or the dime you just found.
Great food deals can be found in Fremont Casino. Tony Roma's restaurant is in here, as well as some fast food places. Drinks can be found at casino bars or from cocktail service while you gamble.
I've stayed at a few of the downtown hotels, though never at Fremont. I generally don't stay downtown. It doesn't seem as safe to me and the parking garages don't have valets running by the cars all night. I instead stay close to the strip and drive to Fremont for the fun.
The casinos in glitter gulch are all worth a stop-in. You definitely won't miss this one as you walk by! Stop. Admire the lights. And then go bet some nickels inside.
