The Fremont Street Experience is the original entertainment district in Las Vegas—a five-block pedestrian mall located in Downtown Las Vegas. Vintage Vegas charm blends with high-energy excitement, nightly free entertainment, and a party atmosphere. The Fremont Street Experience features the Viva Vision light show (the world’s largest video screen), three stages of live music, and the thrilling SlotZilla Zipline, creating a bold, only-in-Las-Vegas experience.

Viva Vision, SlotZilla, and Free Live Concerts

Powering the entire experience is the Viva Vision screen, a massive half-barrel LED canopy suspended 90 feet above the pedestrian mall. This screen delivers free, high-definition video and sound shows at the top of every hour, beginning nightly at 6:00 pm. Under the canopy, the energy continues with three separate stages offering free live concerts every night. Performances range from local house bands to national touring acts, making Fremont Street one of the best free entertainment zones in Las Vegas. For an extra adrenaline rush, take on the SlotZilla Zipline which launches riders across the length of the Viva Vision canopy and offers incredible views of the party below.

Inside the casinos, you’ll find popular attractions such as the Shark Tank at the Golden Nugget and Binion’s Million Dollar Display
