Detailed itinerary

1

Claiming roots among downtown’s earliest gaming halls, Golden Gate blends vintage Vegas charisma with compact, lively gaming floors. Pop inside to feel a slice of classic downtown atmosphere—old-school neon, history, and a friendly bar scene.

2
Stop 2

This covered pedestrian mall is the beating heart of downtown Las Vegas, where live music, street performers, and a nonstop parade of neon converge. Stroll beneath the massive LED canopy and you’ll quickly see why locals and visitors call it the city’s most electric block.

3

For a rush of adrenaline, launch from the SlotZilla towers and fly above the crowds on a zipline that traces the length of Fremont Street. It’s the most dramatic way to get a bird’s-eye view of downtown’s chaos and color.

4

A downtown landmark known for glitzy décor and modern amenities, the Golden Nugget blends old Vegas glamour with upgraded rooms and dining. Don’t miss its waterslide through a shark tank—a flashy example of how Vegas mixes spectacle with luxury.

5
Stop 5

Steeped in poker lore, Binion’s is where the World Series of Poker was born and where high-stakes history still lingers. The casino’s old-school vibe and storied vaults are a reminder of downtown’s gambling heritage.

6

Located right on Fremont, 4 Queens serves up a no-frills, classic Vegas experience with gaming, live entertainment, and easy access to the Strip’s original downtown scene. Its central location makes it a convenient home base for exploring the area.

7

With a lively gaming floor and retro-modern styling, The D channels the playful side of downtown Vegas. Expect table games, energetic bars, and frequent live music that keep the party rolling day and night.

8

This towering neon cowboy has waved over Fremont for decades, a beloved symbol of vintage Vegas kitsch and neon art. He’s an essential selfie stop for anyone tracing the city’s neon legacy.

9

A neon-drenched entertainment complex, Neonopolis offers restaurants, bars, and quirky attractions beneath bold signage and glowing marquees. It’s a compact downtown playground for casual dining and late-night wandering.

10

The newest major resort on Fremont Street, Circa pairs modern design with high-energy attractions like Stadium Swim and expansive sportsbook viewing. Its rooftop pool complex and contemporary amenities mark a striking contrast to the neighborhood’s vintage signs.

11

Once a mainstay of the city’s neon panorama, Vegas Vickie greets visitors with her classic, mid-century style and showgirl charm. Restored and reinstalled, she remains an icon of Fremont’s bright, brassy past.

12

A playful little statue tucked into the streetscape, this cheeky figure offers a tongue-in-cheek nod to novelty public art. It’s an offbeat photo stop that highlights downtown’s quirky sense of humor and is a replica of the original from Belgium.
