When it comes to glitz and glamour, Las Vegas has few competitors.  The Las Vegas Strip may be at the centre of the action and where the major hotels are located, but any visit to Vegas should also include a trip to the Fremont Street Experience.

Fremont Street is a shopping mall in downtown Las Vegas.  Its most famous feature is the curved roof running the length of the mall which acts as a neon canopy and includes a spectacular light show every night.  It is this which has earned Fremont Street the nickname of Glitter Gulch.  In 2004 the system was updated and now boasts an LED display known as Viva Vision featuring 12.5 million lights.

Vegas would not be Vegas without casinos, of course, and there is no shortage on Fremont Street, including Binion’s, the Four Queens and the Golden Nugget.  There are also numerous shops, hotels, restaurants, bars and nightclubs as well as the Neon Museum.  The Fremont Street Experience is the place to be in Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve when it hosts a massive party with fireworks on the overhead display.
