Cheap Hotel Room Rates on Fremont Street Las Vegas

     Anyone who thinks the days of getting a real bargain are over probably hasn’t yet taken advantage of discount travel sites. Getting great deals on resorts, hotels, show tickets, attractions and more is as simple as clicking your mouse.
     Today’s discount vacation packages are items of real value. If you have any doubt just go directly to one of the Las Vegas Strip Hotels and ask about their room rates. Or ask about the show ticket prices. These discount sites can help you rack up huge savings.
     Yes people pay those prices. People that don't know any better. And yes I have a financial motive for telling you all of this. If you click on the link in this site and you end up buying a show ticket or a hotel room, I get a very small commission.  So what, it will still save you a bunch of money. For my part I tried to find the best place to get these deals so that you would indeed go there and I could in fact pick up a small tip for sending you there.  Even if you don't click through my site to get to these deal, you can find them on the web and the savings are just a click away.

Best of Vegas is the discount site that I think is the best.  Here's the link

Harley-Davidson Store Fremont Street Las Vegas


The Store is located at the corner of Fremont Street and 3rd Street.  The store has Harley-Davidson apparel.  The motorcycle seen in the video is available for pictures.  I think there may be a fee to have your picture taken on the bike.  The staff is very friendly and helpful.  The store has a history on Fremont Street and has been a part of the Fremont Street Experience for many years.  I love to ride.  I also like to look good and wear the right kind of clothes.  This store solves both of those problems.

The Duke of Fremont Street Cordially Invites You To

Vegas Vic & Vicki and Miller Beer TV Commerical Fremont Street Las Vegas


     I remember this comerical when it ran on TV.  I also remember walking down Fremont Street and Hearing "Howdy Partner" and wondering where it came from.  Vegas Vic doesn't say that anymore.  He has been silent ever since the Fremont Street Experience was built.  There is a story that I have yet to confirm that sometime in the past, both Vegas Vic and Vicki were taken down at the same time and a marriage ceremony was performed on Fremont Street.  Then they were returned to their respective post over looking Fremont Street.

Great Video of Old Fremont Street Before the Experience




Video created by VivaLasVegas1907

    I am passing through Las Vegas on a journey around the country.  I enjoy the attractions and the sites available here.  The longer that I am in Vegas, the more I come to appreciate how many amazing things there are to see and do here.  Along with the current attraction there is a lot of history.  And it is very colorful.  Everyone has heard tales about Vegas and the Mob.  While I have been here I have also looked into the history of Vegas.  Really, the place is relatively new.  Las Vegas was founded in 1905.  This Video shows pictures from old Vegas.  In here you will see The Mint and the Apache Hotel.  Both of these places are important  in the story of Benny Binion.  The Golden Nugget is part of Steve Wynn's Store.  And it goes on and on.

Plaza Hotel Marches Towards Reopening With New Restaurant in the Dome

The Plaza Hotel is closing in on its reopening date.   September 1, is when it is currently set.  On the front of the building is a Dome structure that houses a restaurant.  In the past the restaurant was called Firefly.  They had announced that they were not going to continue at the site.  Last week the news was released that Oscar Goodman, the recently retired mayor of Las Vegas is opening a Steak House in the Dome. 

The view from the dome is straight down the heart of Fremont street.  The Dome is made out of glass that provides an open feeling that is not found anywhere else in Vegas.

Kay's Fremont Street Experience Guest Blogger

My Fremont Experience!

I'm a people person and I also like to watch people. I can sit and watch people for hours and hours. When I first arrived in Las Vegas everything was new to me. I came from a small town. People have always fascinated me for some reason. I learned new things everyday here.

I would sit in a office at the place I stayed at and just watched people walk by or for that matter drive by. There was never a dull moment on any given day. It was amazing to me how some of the people were dressed. I seen Elvis, A jester pushing a gorilla in a wheelchair, spongebob square pants, and last but not least a streaker. That was a eye opener for me or should I say it opened my eyes really big!

I have seen people walking uptown in the pajamas, slippers, short short skirts, see through shirts and high high heels. I wondered why some of the girls were dressed like that. It did not take long to find out. There was always someone beeping the horn at them and pulling over to talk to them. OH BOY you guessed it. I don't have to tell you what it was for can we say BOOTIE CALL. LOL

I  was kind of worried being on this side of town, but I also meet some pretty incredible people sense I have been here. People from all over the world like, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, Netherlands, Holland, Austria and of course the United States.  Most of the people that come to the RV Park come through the months of like Oct through April. These months out here I'm told are called the
snowbird season.

After awhile everyone started to get together for like a little cook out or just sit and talk in the office. Diana one of the ladies who works in the office there is pretty good and knowledgeable about things going on around there. If you need to know where something is she can tell you were it is and how to get to it. There has been times when I have sat there and just watch people and heard someone call and ask her how to get to the RV Park. Diana would tell them what exit to take and what street to come down to give them access to the park.

In the back yard to this RV Park is a really nice bar that sells food. Let me tell you I thought Belmont a bar back home  had a good burger and steak sandwitch this bar runs  close to being right up there. The bar is call the Bunkhouse. If you get to Vegas and you like burgers check it out. They have other food to believe me there hasn't been much on the menu I did not like.

You want good pizza the best I have tasted so far is a place called Boston Pizza. This place is on the strip. I would have never known about it but one day one of the guest came in with two of them It was a Tuesday. Tuesday was 2 Pizzas with everything on it for 20.00. These pizzas had cheese, sausage, pepperoni, green peppers, onions and what ever else you wanted. They were hugh. Two of these bad boys feed six of us.

This RV Park is about three to four blocks from the Fremont Experience. If you get to Vegas you have to check this out. My first time there was at night. That is the time to go. They have like a big TV screen that goes for about four blocks or so. They show songs and stuff on the screens while music is playing. I was just amazed the first time I seen it. I have never seen anything like that before. There are all kinds of things going on under there. There are people who paint pictures with paint cans. That was awesome to watch them do this. Who would have thought that just using a paint can and twirling a table with board or whatever they use for a base could turn out so pretty.
There is music under there either people singing or people playing instruments. Just walking around was really nice. People were drinking and having a good time. I like to watch when the music was playing and people were dancing and just being silly. It was nice. There are showgirls that walk around that give beads out and tickets for all kinds of things. You have to check out the souvenir shops. The prices for shirts are cheap. Sometimes you can get a deal 2 or 3 shirts for 10.00. You just have to look around. Binions have really nice shirts sometimes for 5.00.

Hopefully there will be many more experiences that I can enjoy and share with you later on in my next chapter.
