Downtown Las Vegas is the place where the average people come to gamble and where the games are smaller, dirtier and cheaper but it is also a potentially dangerous place.

It is like the real Vegas, everything is nearby, it has a decaying atmosphere, and even a sense of danger and you can almost see the gangsters hanging around.

It is the main business district of Las Vegas, Nevada where the most high-rise buildings are situated being in the same time the center for downtown gaming.

Downtown Las Vegas is mainly centered on Fremont Street and it is heart of the old Las Vegas. The Fremont Street Experience is where local casinos have been linked to the street and with each other in a unique way, bringing a wide range of amazing events, cuisine, entertainment and live concerts all year long, featuring a huge audio-video system.

It greatly differs from the Las Vegas strip; it is the place of the older hotel casinos of Las Vegas. The entire Downtown presents another side to Las Vegas, creating a unique and memorable experience.

The Fremont Street Experience opened in 1995 attracting tourists to the city. Covering only four city blocks, it offers free light and sound show after every sunset.

Neonapolis is a newer improvement on the corner of Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard that attracts visitors with restaurants, shops and various indoor entertainment shows. In this area of Las Vegas all the casinos were brightly lit that you could almost not tell the difference between day or night.

A large number of Downtown Las Vegas Hotels are still in business today for tourists who want to gamble straight ahead. For example, El Cortez Hotel is one of the downtown hotels that should not be missed. The other hotel with a long history is the Golden Gate Hotel that first opened in 1906, famous for its 99 cent shrimp cocktails, offering nightly piano entertainment as well.

In recent years, there have been plans to revitalize the Downtown area of Las Vegas. On August 24, 2007 a three block section of Fremont Street was opened to attract more people with a dense entertainment area of bars and clubs.

Another project is the World Market Center, an eight building 7,500,000 square feet facility with the square footage of the key building bigger than of the Empire State Building of New York City.

Another plan includes the purchase from the Union Pacific Railroad of a land of 61 acres as an effort to draw visitors and locals to downtown Las Vegas, being an important project for the Office of Business Development and the city, called the Union Park Development.
