All travelers are excited to visit Las Vegas in Nevada at least once! What few people know is that Fremont Street was the shining Vegas star long before the soaring mega-resorts, Cirque performances, and the nonstop nightlife and amusement of the Strip came to characterize the metropolis. The first casinos in Las Vegas, including the famous Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, the Pioneer Club, and others, were located on Fremont Street, which is located north of the Las Vegas Strip in Downtown Las Vegas (the Las Vegas Strip as a whole offers plenty of epic attractions and landmarks as well).

Fremont Street is famous for having the city's most iconic neon signs and marquees. The center of Downtown Las Vegas (which offers lots of fun things to do) is a pedestrian-only boulevard lined with vintage and renovated casinos, outdoor bars, inexpensive restaurants, eccentric street entertainers, a huge zip line, and the biggest and most extravagant light and music shows in the world. Here are the fun outdoor experiences that Fremont Street visitors can enjoy.

Have Fun At Downtown Container Park, Fremont Street

If Fremont’s tourists are searching for an exciting and family-friendly location to unwind, Downtown Container Park is the place to go.
