– Things to do in Vegas: Explore the Fremont Street

In short: Fremont Street is a must-see place for all travelers who want to discover the beating heart of downtown Las Vegas.

Some of Fremont’s most famous buildings are casinos that have been around for decades, including Golden Gate Hotel and Casino and Binion’s Horseshoe Casino.

But if you ask us, what makes the Fremont Street Experience so special isn’t just its history—it’s also its present. That’s because every hour from 6:00 pm to 1:00 am (except during special events), there is a 6-minute light show accompanied by music performed live at one of the three entertainment stages below Viva Vision—a screen that covers 1,476 feet of Fremont Street and is covered by more than 12 million LED bulbs. You can listen to music being performed live free of charge!

LAS VEGAS – OCTOBER 11: View of Slotzilla zip line at the Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas. – Things to do in Vegas! –

The SlotZilla zipline attraction at Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas is not for the faint of heart. The ride will take you 850 feet above the street below and is more thrilling than any roller coaster you’ll ever ride!

The experience begins with a short walk up an enclosed escalator to one of two starting platforms, where you can watch others zip below you before taking off yourself. The line starts on one side or another depending on the time of day and how busy they are running your group down. Once they call your number, there’s a small platform where they give instructions about what to do before stepping off into free fall.

The ride lasts only three minutes, but those three minutes feel like ten when your body is dangling from thin cables hundreds of feet above the ground while all that stands between you and certain death is someone else who’s as scared as you are! The thrill might be too much for some people—we recommend trying out the lower level first (there’s no line) before moving onto this high-flying adventure!

The High Roller is also a unique experience because you’ll get to do it at night when all of Las Vegas comes alive with lights and sounds. The views are phenomenal, but be sure to go on a clear day so that you can take in everything this city has to offer!
