It’s been many years since I visited old Las Vegas, where growth-through-gambling concept originally started…probably the last time was in the late 80‘s when I used to go every year to the annual Comdex show. So I decided to take a quick look to see what was going on. That quick look turned into half-a-day as the original Fremont Street has been turned into a sort of living museum.
By living, I mean there is still a great deal of gambling and other events going on there, but it is now taking place as part of “The Fremont Street Experience,” as the old road has been sealed off from traffic, repaved over with concrete walkways, kiosks, street vendors, and all covered with a towering archway that stretches for four blocks.
This is where Las Vegas got the name “Glitter Gulch.” Gambling was first legalized in Nevada in 1931 and Fremont Street was the site of the first 
casinos. Today, some of the old landmarks are still here like the giant cowboy over the Pioneer Club (now a gift shop), the giant cowgirl right across the street and other famous landmark cafes and casinos. At night, there is a free light and sound show that begins just after sunset.
Of course, the Las Vegas strip, about two miles down Las Vegas Blvd. gets most of the action these days. While much of The Strip was originally built by organized crime families, the original downtown casinos were mostly legitimate business operations and really came into their own from the mid ‘30 through World War Two, and into the 50’s.
One of the casinos on Fremont Street is Binions, which for many years hosted the World Series of Poker Championships. And although that event has been moved over to the Rio, somebody left behind $1 million dollars in cash…and for free, you can have your photo taken with all that cash. Which of course, explains the third picture as Elisa, Susan and I did just that. 
I enjoyed this visit down memory lane and encourage all of you who visit Vegas to tear yourself away from the Strip and spend part of day or night on Fremont Street.
