Fremont Street Experience
The Fremont Street Experience is the initial entertainment district in Las Vegas – a five-block exhilarating pedestrian mall located in downtown Las Vegas. The remarkable allure of vintage Vegas merges with exhilarating excitement and exceptional free entertainment every evening. The Fremont Street Experience offers the Viva Vision light show, the world’s largest video screen, three stages of live music, and the incredible SlotZilla Zipline, providing the perfect experience to encounter Las Vegas’s bold, unmatched spirit.
Viva Vision SlotZilla and Free Live Concerts
Activating everything is the Viva Vision screen, a massive half-barrel screen perched 90 feet in the air over the sidewalk. This screen provides free high-definition video and sound presentations at the top of every hour, beginning nightly at 6:00 pm. Under the screen, the energy continues to grow with three separate stages providing free live concerts every night, featuring everything from local house musicians to national touring acts. In addition, get your adrenaline pumping with the SlotZilla Zipline, which whisks you across the length of the Viva Vision, offering fantastic views of the party below.
Iconic Casinos Dining and Nightlife
Many of Las Vegas’s most legendary casinos, including the Golden Nugget, Four Queens & the Circa Resort & Casino, line Fremont Street. These places offer a variety of dining choices, ranging from gourmet dining in restaurants within Circa to quick, affordable bites in the Fremont Food Hall. The atmosphere is bright, with open-air bars like the D Bar, and flair bartenders always keep the energy up. You can even visit popular places inside the casinos, like the Shark Tank at the Golden Nugget and Binion’s Million Dollar Display.
