FREMONT STREET is the "old" Las Vegas where "the action" was before the advent of the LAS VEGAS BLVD. "strip". One of our bus trips included an evening there, under the 12 million light canopy. It covers a five block section of Fremont Street which is now only open to pedestrian traffic. It is a technicological marvel, but unfortunately has been turned into a huge TV type advertisement. Seeing all the old "vintage" casinos was interesting however, as were the prices, often 75% less than on the "strip".
