Downtown Las Vegas Experience
I captured this photo last week during our trip to Las Vegas. It’s been 14 years since our last visit, even though it’s about a four-hour drive from where we live.

The Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere. Lined with iconic casinos, neon lights, and a massive LED canopy, it hosts lively entertainment, including free nightly light shows. Street performers, live music, and a zip line, SlotZilla, add to the energetic ambiance. It’s a nostalgic contrast to the modern Strip, showcasing the history of Las Vegas while offering a unique and dynamic entertainment experience.
