- Good This was my 3rd time to Vegas, but my first time to make it to Downtown. I was impressed by the show...particularly since it was free. Awsome show. And, while we were waiting for the next show, my mom won $1000 on quarter slots at Binions, and that was REALLY nice.
If I have any complaint at all about Fremont St. Exp., it would be a minor one about the "country & western" themed show we saw, but that's just me. I am from Texas, and definitely NOT part of the "hick set". I go to Vegas to get away from all that country & western cowboy b.s., not to see more of it. But, like I said, that is purely personal opinion. I know lots out there love that stuff.

- Good The best free attraction in Las Vegas - we go every time we visit Vegas and this time there just happened to be a bike show there as well. If you're staying on the strip use the Deuce bus to get there - it's a very comfortable double decker coach and costs just $2 to get there, much better than the trolley bus which is uncomfortable and you have to change at the Stratosphere to get there.

- Bad For all the techonology used to produce this show it was the worst experience we had in Las Vegas. You definitely get what you pay for with this show...oh wait, that's probably why it's free. Do yourself a favor and stick with the strip!

- Good I LOVE FREMONT STREET! This is old school Vegas, people. Don't go carting your kids around -- they don't need to see the strippers at Glitter Gulch, or sit outside Mermaids or La Bayou while adults gamble/drink. The lightshow is only part of the fun -- the EXPERIENCE is spending time walking freely from casino to casino. (...can't do that on the strip without a taxi!). Security is very good. My husband and I stay downtown at each Vegas trip (4-5 times per year) and enjoy the safety and freedom. We can separate and actually say things like "I'm gonna go over to Main Street Station" -- the beauty of it is, when my husband gets there he can actually find me without using the cell phone or mapquest. *HA* Downtown is where it is at, folks. Same Vegas fun (gambling & alcohol) in a more kicked back atmosphere. I'd like to recommend the website www.cheapovegas.com to all of you. Great, honest reviews and loads of fun to read. ...and I don't even get paid to tell you that, I'm just a loyal fan. ROCK ON, FOLKS.

Wow the only thing in Vegas that was a let down. We left the strip to see this awesome free show according to all the comments. They lied!!! It was 10 minutes late and so lame. It was some spoof on aliens landing in Vegas give me a break don't was your time on Freemont stay on the strip were it's not run down or dirty.

- Good This is very nice to see once. Even though we go there every year we visit. It's a little out of the way, you have to drive or take some transportation. The area is just way run down and all sorts of characters hang around so when we go there, we know we're just looking at the light show and leave. It can be a little waste for some people who are short on time and don't have their own transportation. It also depends on what they're showing. This year we saw a bunch of gils dancing. It was a little bit of a let down even by guy standards.

- Good Our group spent 7/3/05 on Fremont Street and had a blast. The Fremont Street Experience has gone from 2,000,000+ lights in 2002 when I last saw it to 12,000,000+ today. WOW, what a difference. I rank this as one of the top two FREE attractions in Las Vegas today, along with the Fountains at the Bellagio. The Experience is shown at the top of each hour after dark. This provides one with a needed break each hour from the tables/machines. Berlin was also doing a free concert and this just added to the fun downtown.

- Good If you have not seen this it is amazing. It is a Vegas "MUST SEE"! I would recomend watching at Fitzgerlald's, they have a Balcony on the 2nd floor with chairs. But after you have seen the show you won't make a trip outside the casino to see it again unless you're looking an excuse because you're losing badly or watching with someone who has not seen it before.

- Good This adult entertainment venue is a must-see for gamers and TV addicts alike. It's an outdoor pedestrian mall complete with casinos, bars, shopping and the biggest TV screen you're ever gonna see. Shows are hourly, each night from 7:pm to 1:am. DON'T MISS THIS!

Really good and a must see in Vegas. The show was great and the designs were really cool. The sound system was very good. The Fremont Street area is very safe and it is a great place to spend the night and see the show.

Golden Nugget, the Plaza, and more.

- Undecided It is nice to see Downtown Vegas get spruced up, but the visuals for the light show were cheesier than expected. Moreover, there is not really much to do there if you aren't really into the old-school atmosphere of this part of the city (few shows, little interesting shopping), especially if you're staying on the Strip. In one respect, one shouldn't visit Vegas without a trip to Downtown, but on the other hand, it's no competitor for the Strip - we left after an hour. Worth a look once.
