Las Vegas, Nevada: Fremont Street Experience; things to do

Fremont Street Experience  

Along Fremont St., five blocks between Main St. & 4th St., Downtown Las Vegas. 

Now closed to cars, the Fremont Street Experience section of Fremont is covered by an immense mesh canopy that is lit at night with more than 2.1 million lights.  A free light-and-laser show with a 54,000-watt stereo system entertains impromptu audiences between free live music shows, which are scheduled four times each night.  This lively five-block-long promenade is lined with shops, cafes, and casinos and is where U2 shot their video for "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For."  Both the 77-foot-high and 850-foot-long Slotzilla zip line and a higher zoom line that launches riders in a horizontal Superman position provide screaming participants that add to the excitement.  There is a lot going on here.  Read this article and you won’t miss a thing.

  1. Ziplining in Vegas! Figures... This area looks pretty adrenalin-packed, but we'd probably prefer one of the shows. And can you believe it, we've actually never been to Vegas?
