Las Vegas Fremont Street and Vintage Nostalgia

It's that time of year again, family and friends pack their swimsuits, flip flops, sunscreens, and bring their "party side"..to Las Vegas.  I guess I take it for granted because I live on the outskirts and see the strip every trip I make outside my home.  I literally can see the outline of the new strip and I think I am used to it...but for my family, it remains a city of lights and intrigued, Vintage and modern flair, excitement and enticement...so, I am the honorary guide at least once a year.

This year was a bit different!  I actually LOVED visiting Fremont Street!  Visiting on one of the hottest and record breaking days of the year in June, my daughter and son-in-law came to visit and we all went to Fremont Street, the old Vegas...

WOW, how fun was that?  New songs and patterns on the electric show ceiling canopy, new costume mimics, young dancing talent, a new and extended chair slide which sits above the length of the strip....snakes? we saw snakes...and people painting, drawing, dancing, singing, were just a few of the bits of entertainment available.  All for free.

We walked along Fremont Street to attend a new bar placed outside which served slushee slurpee daiquiri type drinks with dancing bartenders in bikinis....we pawed over t=shirts, feathers, jewelry, postcards and we were completely surprised by the various creatures, costumes, and bands playing, often we ducked inside the Vintage Casinos to cool off......it was a perfect night with so much fun I felt so guilty that I had not experienced it previous to my family's visit!  What's wrong with me anyway?

Fremont Street Las Vegas is a lot of fun, bottom line.  You can visit for a couple of hours while spending little to no money, every form of entertainment and people watching can go on for hours...you can get a sense of shock and awe at the light show at the same time feel the Vintage spirit which has been encapsulated within the length of this magnificent and exciting venue.  The hotel resort rooms are updated, clean, and among the best rates in Las Vegas.

If you visit Las Vegas, you MUST visit Fremont Street for the full effects of Las Vegas...without visiting old town Fremont Street, you would be missing out on the full appreciation of past and current which was put together artfully, carefully, and is possibly the best one stop entertainment spot in the whole United States...or at least that is my opinion....

here's a little local secret:
locals say the payout odds are much better on Fremont Street....won't you share YOUR story if you visit?  take care  -=brenda
