Fremont Street Anyone?
 

Every year I go to Vegas for the show, I promise myself I am going to take people down to Fremont Street who have never experienced old school Vegas. I love it.

This year, I'm doing it. Anyone else love the old strip?

And if anyone wants to join us - Friday, 1030pish.

It has been forever (20 years) since I have done Fremont St. Think I may be due. Let me know when you plan on going. I might want to tag along :)

Friday night - around 1030ish. (Edited my post too).

I'll FB email you my cell #.

If you're toes are on the menu, I'm d'ere.
:pimp

When I lived there I liked going there for New Years because the big Strip is crazy.

i have been going there every time i went to vegas - one time i spent new year there. it's really cool.

Would love to join you Kristin. Love all that all that old stuff, so much so that I booked myself in to a noon tour of www.neonmuseum.org on 11th - and suggest that you do the same:winkwink:

Good idea Kristin. I,d be more than happy to join in ... Best time might be around 8-9 Pm maybe for an Happy Hour somewhere (Gliter Gulch? hehe) Then it is dark enough to enjoy the Fremont Street 'Ceilling Show' after :)

just saying :winkwink:

Haircut at 430p at Robert Cromean Salon at the Mandy, sorry, that wins. =)

If we can get enough people to actually confirm, I'll book some limos to take us all down there.

Got it and have this added to my calendar. Looking forward to it!

we did 2 years ago and was a great time. had about 6 of us and rented a limo for 3 hours to drive us down and around parts of Vegas.

I think its a fun area and will check it out again

same here, i always go at some point + you can get some BIG ASS drink for 7 bucks!!

Gonna join us Friday night?

i would love to - if i was in vegas

unfortunately i'm not going :(

Bah, anyone else?

I love slumming it up freemont street style... :)

But seriously its pretty fun, and quite a change from the strip.

You in??

i don;t get in until saturday but definatley something i want to check out

good call Kristin... in all the years I have been going to Vegas, the closest I've come to Fremont is the Clark County License Bureau. :)

I'm in, and adding it to my schedule.

Best place to gamble because it's the cheapest and you can back your craps bets by 10.

And well, La Bayou for their yard stick drinks that get you plowed for $7.

Friday 1030, count me in Kristin :)

what the fuck?

Were you applying for an "entertainers" license? ;)

i want to go to fremont street

That would have taken him to Cameron St., not Fremont. ;)

For those looking for fun, they installed a zip-line at Fremont last October.

Visited last year.. sure is fucking hard to breath in any of the casinos with people smoking the shit out of the place

That's part of the charm!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ziplining- will have to check it out.

You have my #, we will have to drag Daniel with us. =)

We doing the No Dinner Plans dinner this year?

i haven't done that since I was 13 years old.

I'd love to go with you guys sounds like fun.

It's quite nice with that light show they have.
I usually go to Fremont to eat at Pasta Pirate at the California Hotel Casino. Great Crab Legs! Strong recommendation.

10 years of Vegas travel and I have never been to Fremont Street.. Every year I say I'm going to go check it out. I think I'm in :)

Brad

thats the cool part of vegas the mafia hangout. I never lose at the horse shoe.

I would love to go check it out!

Yah, that makes me happy!

I'll FB email you my #.

You have mail.

tbh all these years going to Vegas I never been there either...

this past June when I went with my friends to his bachelor party in Vegas was also the first time I actually walked the strip lololol ....

Gambling or light show at age 13? Sent you my #.

I have never been, would love to check it out as well. I'm in!

You'll like it... you should go. They only do the light shows on the hour, though... So, don't show up at 10 minutes after or you'll have a wait. :-)

Oh man! Makes me wish I didn't sit this one out.

Went and slummed it up proper last year. I fucking love old town. Somone down a yard of margarita for me ;)

Oh this little outing is shaping up quite nicely :) Kudos for thinking of it Kristin!

In route I know some GREAT Asian Massage Rubdown places we can stop by for a quick visit.

How have you people never been to Fremont Street? Its the original Vegas.
I remember going down there well before they had that roof for the light show.

It was a major dump back then. Dying.. That covering saved the place. I remember going into some of those dive hotels and exploring around the back areas and no one would say anything. It was really fucking spooky. Like that movie the Shining.. Empty!! Very strange for Vegas. Lots has changed since then, That was maybe 15 years ago.

Fremont is the best. I just did New Years there. Stayed at The Golden Nugget and partied on the street (it was fucking FREEZING this year!) I love it!

And if you want to eat at one of the best Steak Houses in town...the Binions Steak House is AWESOME. It is so damn old school, you can almost see the ghost of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin eating their steak there on the top of Binions with a gorgeous view of all of Las Vegas. It's really a hidden treasure.

So am I the only person that doesn't think Fremont St is anything special?

Its not.. But it has history. And if you really learn about the history there, like anything with history it makes it the more special when you are actually there.

Its the history there that makes it for me. Some of it is kinda dumpy but I like it. Has a historic old school feel to it.

After what Robbie said I want to check out the steak place at Binnons..

Man! I am shooting that night...if it gets rescheduled, as 1/2 of them do, I'll see if I can get ahold of you!

Walking into one of those places is like walking into Grandma's attic. The musty smell. The low ceiling. The spookiness factor.

Wish I was in Vegas now... damn...
