A very, very, very interesting place. As if Vegas isn't already quite an experience, Fremont Street is something totally different and unique in relation to the strip.\n\nSo I've been there both at night and during the day. Yes, it is a very shady place but I'm from the Bay and Downtown Vegas DOESN'T even compare to the ghetto spots over here so it didn't really phase me. Yes there are homeless people but I see about a dozen walking to work everyday in San Francisco. No big deal.\n\nIt's not a fair comparison to rate the Fremont Street to the 5 star hotels on the strip. Fremont is old Vegas thus you will not find the mega resorts with the lavish and mazelike casinos and fine dining. Fremont Street isn't a place you would like to stay, get a spa treatment or go shopping at. It's a place that you just have to check out for it's character, get sh*tfaced drunk and laugh at every damn weird and crazy thing you see. Remember, Vegas wasn't built in the 1990's when the strip became what it is today. Fremont is what Vegas was like 100 years ago.\n\nCheck it out for the canopy light show, deep fried twinkies and oreos (my fave!), cheap gambling and for the eccentric and eclectic people. Also the Golden Nugget is actually owned by Steve Wynn who also built the Bellagio (before it was sold) and his namesake, the Wynn. \n\nAfter Fremont, you might be thinking \"What the hell did I just experience?\" but my friend, that's what going to Vegas is all about.
