Pre 1995, when the canopy went up over Freemont, was a totally different experience IMO. It's a total circus, borderline freak show now. A friend told me the Glitter Gulch gentlemen's club was good back in the day too. Great vid.
Hey Jordan! You forgot to mention Le Thai, which was right before you cross the street from the El Cortez. They have the best Thai food ever! And also across the street from that is a great burger joint called Eureka! Thanks for the walking tour. Happy holidays to you and your wife!🎉🥂🎄
Hi Jordan and Ashden, merry Christmas and happy holidays to you both. Your channel has tripled in size since i first subscribed, which is all due to your very hard work.
Nice video as usual Jordan! I'm old enough to remember the downtown area before the canopy was built and thought it was shameful to end that old school style for what became the Fremont Street Experience. I guess change is the only constant in our world! I enjoy the street walking tours as much as the property videos you and Ashden present. Thank you!
I haven't been to Fremont Street for 30+ years! This blog is the best one I've seen illustrating locations & hotels .Thanks! It's helpful to see where resorts are in relation to other points of interest. I'm tempted to go back during my next LV visit, but kinda worried about safety as I'm an older solitary traveler!
love fremont/downtown…even more than the strip. Surprised you didn’t go to Container Park that place is really neat. Sorry not sorry ice cream some of the richest ice cream i’ve ever had…nice little walk under the canopy thanks!
I’m sure you know this jordan and ashdyn but Fremont street when it was open is featured in the James Bond movie diamonds are forever. It’s super cool to see! Love this video and channel another great upload!
Longtime Vegas traveler. Fremont street is my regular go-to in Vegas, I can stretch my money many times over, and i love the vibe there. It feels like "Real" Vegas.
so glad you showed Fremont East! My last Vegas trip was March 2022, we stayed at The D, but didnt check out Fremont East....there were still covid restrictions and a lot of restaurants were still closed
Glad u are [finally] giving D'town sum luv...I'm a veteran Vegas guy that stays away from the strip and majority of my time/$ stays D'town. I do enjoy your strip content so I can stay up to speed on what's happenin over ther, still dont go ther tho. Ha! More D'town is a good thing!!! 👍
Solid video Jordan. Great ending at El Cortez as well. El Cortez sadly no longer has single deck blackjack, which has kept some of us away. Always feel nostalgic watching any video referencing EC. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family !
Thanks for the heads up on cans from ABC. I have bought beer from there many times and walked around with my tall can. Never knew I wasn’t supposed to do it, but never was harassed by the cops either. I’ll follow the rules now 👍🏽
Heading out next weekend for new years. Im definitely spending more time downtown and on Fremont. I don’t hate the strip, but the prices are undeniably better off of it
we checked out Fremont a couple days ago on our trip and my wife really liked Circa....and hated everything else! she said it reminded her of a slightly less sketchy new orleans.
Had a brilliant meal at Pizza Rock last week of September. Monday to Thursday 3-6 Happy Hour. We stumbled on the Happy Hour by accident, however less than $65 including tip for two and we didn’t cheap out. Amazing pizza, meatballs and garlic bread - Jordan is correct, amazing and best pizza in Vegas
I’ve moved and love downtown now for about a years. Container park area. It’s fun. I feel safe. I see other people walking around and they feel safe too. I personally feel safer walking around Main Street Fremont and Carson st vs parts of the strip
Hey Sir Jordan ….I have mixed feelings on downtown. While it can definitely be lively I find the crowd a tad scraggly and low end compared to the strip. The properties are not as nice etc. I do like the mob museum speak easy and Whiskey 🥃 Liquor Up as well as Circa . I don’t go downtown on every Vegas trip as I much prefer the strip 😎😎😎
Awesome! Would you stay at the Grand or El Cortez and stay out late? With the rented security and LVMPD, I would rather hang out on Fremont Street at midnight than my city's downtown. But, that I'd based on my stay at the GN.
Great video! Went to Fremont in 2019 with my then GF now my wife during my 1st Vegas trip and it was enjoyable! Didn't get a chance earlier this year 2024 when we went. Hopefully next time we will get to check it out.
The "D" was originally the Sundance. It was the last hotel-casino owned by the mob. The government took it from them, closed it, sold it and it re-opened as the Fitz. It was a great hotel when it was the Sundance. Stayed there many times.
Don't think I would like Circa. Don't like Golden Gate. Used to like to play in the Pioneer Club. Golden Nugget is a really nice Hotel/Casino. Binions Casino was really nice. The Experience is a lot larger than it used to be. What my wife like about Fremont Street was it was all the Hotel/Casinos were walkable. Easier than on Las Vegas Blvd. Do hotels still have Keno runners? Haven't been to a White Castle in almost forty years. The Police station didn't exist years ago. Don't really like bars. El Cortez has a nice casino. Am subscribed and hit the like button. This was a good video.
Been to Oscar's and I've been to Hugo's Cellar, both are good but I'd say Hugo's Cellar is better bang for your buck. Also, Fremont East also has the good Thai restaurant/bar Le Thai. It isn't Lotus of Siam level good but it's good Thai and drinks at a reasonable price. And just off Fremont, not too far from the Grand, is the Mob Museum and Speakeasy. Speakeasy is interesting in that they try to bring back (or recreate) mixology recipes from the prohibition era
Most places will provide a cup iirc but folks also just pour their booze into their tumblers I have done that. Then there are people who just drink it out of a can anyways disregarding the rule.
Stayed at the Plaza, Fremont and the El Cortez. The Plaza was terrible, they put me in the South tower which was a depressing disappointment. Never going back. The Fremont was cool, fresh redone rooms although small. The El Cortez was great and the old nostalgic vibe. I stayed in the 47 room was great, large room big tv 100.00 a night even on Friday.
Having never stayed at the Plaza, I imagine that when I do I will specifically ask for the south tower to avoid the noise of Fremont Street. El Cortez is on the bucket list as well. Thanks for watching!
Pro tip: There are some LOOSE slots in the back corners of Golden Gate. I also won the most money I've ever won at a bar video blackjack machine at Golden Gate: I put in $50 just to waste some time and get some free drinks ... and about 90 minutes later I walked away with more than $700.
this is one of the best vegas channels on youtube. easy to listen to, you don't drag anything out, and you show a bit of the history - great content!
Agreed
Yep. And they show all aspects. Some of the more popular ones don’t really even show the casino floor.
I think downtown rocks; great job, sir, I enjoy your videos👍👍👍👍
I love the history along with the walking tour, very fun watch! Subbed
Great videos, very informative!!
Was in Vegas twice both ti.we never got here thanks for the tour..next time I go

Thanks so much! We couldn't have kept it going without loyal viewers like you! Merry Christmas to you as well!

Its entertaining to walk it once every 5 years
Safety shouldn't be a problem. Will you like the atmosphere? That's questionable! Thanks for watching!

Awesome. So well done, just as your other offerings. Truly enjoy the channel. Thank you.

Tons of older movie scenes were filmed down there, it's really cool to see what it looked like in the 50s and 60s. Thanks as always for watching!
Longtime Vegas traveler. Fremont street is my regular go-to in Vegas, I can stretch my money many times over, and i love the vibe there. It feels like "Real" Vegas.
Great idea for this walking tour! It's packed with great info! So good to see all of these places in one video!
I've been to downtown once. Next time i plan to vegas i'll check it out that area more.
Great video. I love seeing the Freemont area.
Thanks for the video Jordan. Love the Vegas history👌🏻
Thanks for doing this Jordan !! As always see you on the next video !!! Happy Holidays my friend !!
Love this perspective walking down Fremont Street. Another really great video idea. You've done an awesome job with all the recent downtown videos.
Appreciate it!
so glad you showed Fremont East! My last Vegas trip was March 2022, we stayed at The D, but didnt check out Fremont East....there were still covid restrictions and a lot of restaurants were still closed
Love a White Castle hamburger!! Use to live in Kentucky, where we ate them!! Thanks for the walk!
Glad u are [finally] giving D'town sum luv...I'm a veteran Vegas guy that stays away from the strip and majority of my time/$ stays D'town. I do enjoy your strip content so I can stay up to speed on what's happenin over ther, still dont go ther tho. Ha! More D'town is a good thing!!! 👍
Great vlog! I appreciated “Fremont Street East”.
Well done Jordan keeping up with the times‼️👍🏼
Solid video Jordan. Great ending at El Cortez as well. El Cortez sadly no longer has single deck blackjack, which has kept some of us away. Always feel nostalgic watching any video referencing EC. Thanks for the video. Merry Christmas to you and your family !
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Was there earlier this week, crazy place. Hopefully I’ll go back at some point.
Thanks for the heads up on cans from ABC. I have bought beer from there many times and walked around with my tall can. Never knew I wasn’t supposed to do it, but never was harassed by the cops either. I’ll follow the rules now 👍🏽

we checked out Fremont a couple days ago on our trip and my wife really liked Circa....and hated everything else! she said it reminded her of a slightly less sketchy new orleans.
I remember as a kid in the 70s, any time they showed Vegas they showed Glitter Gulch And the Mint was by far the most eye catching and cool.
Steak n Shake, White Castle, Del Taco. Vegas has my hometown faves I miss so much from growing up in STL.
I enjoyed this and the live stream
And you give the best resort tours in the business.
I visit for 9 day trips
Always stay Golden Nugget. I only visit the strip 1 time the entire trip. The Fremont experience is best in Vegas.
See you Vegas in 5 days😁
Had a brilliant meal at Pizza Rock last week of September. Monday to Thursday 3-6 Happy Hour. We stumbled on the Happy Hour by accident, however less than $65 including tip for two and we didn’t cheap out. Amazing pizza, meatballs and garlic bread - Jordan is correct, amazing and best pizza in Vegas
We sat at the bar and ate there this summer and our meal was fantastic. Pizza is always better ordered as a whole pie!

I wouldn't hesitate to walk to either of those late at night. They're super close and there are plenty of people (and security) around.
Great video! Went to Fremont in 2019 with my then GF now my wife during my 1st Vegas trip and it was enjoyable! Didn't get a chance earlier this year 2024 when we went. Hopefully next time we will get to check it out.

Are those sunglasses blue Revo? Those are great quality. These are not the type you win at a regular field carnival.
So you're saying go to the abc store and get your drinks and bring your own plastic cup, pour it in and you're good.
Most places will provide a cup iirc but folks also just pour their booze into their tumblers I have done that. Then there are people who just drink it out of a can anyways disregarding the rule.
Only place I’ll stay is downtown!!!

Is slotzilla further out than it was
Are you staying at the new upgraded rooms at the Venetian?
The area around Fremont is a bad neighborhood and Fremont charges for parking😢
White Castle is awesome ! Classic sliders , fun atmosphere ! Quit being such a snob. Lighten up !
Oasis?? Lol
