The Fremont Street Experience Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada – If the glitz of the Las Vegas Strip is the city’s heartbeat, then Fremont Street is its soul. Nestled in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, the Fremont Street Experience is an electrifying blend of history, entertainment, and jaw-dropping visuals. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to soak up its vibrant atmosphere, this pedestrian-friendly district is a feast for the senses.
Welcome To Fabulous Downtown Las Vegas
A Walk Down Memory Lane
Before the Strip became the center of attention, Fremont Street was the original playground for Vegas dreamers. Home to the city’s first casinos and neon signs, it’s where the likes of Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley once lit up the stage. Today, this historic area has been transformed into a five-block entertainment hub, preserving its nostalgic charm while embracing cutting-edge technology.
I travel using Booking.com and they always have the best deals.

The crown jewel of the Fremont Street Experience is undoubtedly the Viva Vision canopy, the world’s largest LED canopy screen. It spans 1,375 feet, 90 feet wide and towering 90 feet above.

Do you know that the World’s Largest Golden Nugget on display is inside this hotel? YES. It is located at one of the corners of the Golden Nugget Hotel where most of the passerby does not even notice it is there until they see someone take a photo and they stop and learned what it is.
If you’re exploring Fremont Street, a visit to the Golden Nugget Hotel is a must. Not only does it offer a rich blend of history and modern luxury, but it also houses one of the most fascinating pieces of gold history—the Hand of Faith Nugget. Weighing in at an impressive 875 troy ounces (about 61 pounds), this massive golden nugget is the largest ever found using a metal detector and is on display for you to marvel at. Discovered by Kevin Hillier in 1980 near Wedderburn, Australia, the nugget’s stunning shape and weight make it a remarkable sight for visitors.
The Hand of Faith was sold to the Golden Nugget by Hillier for over a million dollars and is now on display in this hotel.
