This is the sketchy part of Vegas your mom warned you about, but it's also pretty fabulous. Aside from the overhead canopy lightshow, there is a collection of beautiful, old neon signs from long-gone casinos scattered up and down Fremont Street (obviously, go at night for the full effect).\n\nFremont Street is also great for getting comfortable playing the tables if you're new to them. Many, many moons ago I cut my teeth at Binion's $2 blackjack table - my friend and I were too intimidated to play the crowded tables on the strip, so we took a cab out to Fremont Street, where we got VIP treatment at Binion's (and finally rolled back home to the strip at dawn - a great time was had by all)...
