Remodeled and renamed the Fitzgerald in now the D.  It is rumored to be named after the owner who's last name starts with a D.  The casino  has an updated modern look.  There is a new Log Bar inside and a new bar in The Fremont Experience.  Up stairs is retro Vegas with vintage slots.  Bigger show room and a new outside escalator to the Sky Bar round out the major attractions.  Here's a short video.

Hugo's Cellar Fremont Street Las Vegas

Hugo's Cellar is located in the Four Queens Hotel and Casino.  This restaurant is consistently rated as one of the best places to eat in Las Vegas.  I have eaten here many times and it is a great experience.  Here's a video of the inside of the restaurant.

Eating at the Hash House a Go Go

So the Plaza Hotel has been remodeled and has been open now for some months.  There are all these new restaurants in the Plaza and I hadn't tried any of them.  So I went in and went to the Hash House.  I am not one for fancy food.  Just good old comfort food.  I have to admit that I eat a lot of hamburgers.  So that's what I got at the Hash House.  They have these Stuffed burgers.  Basically you can get them stuffed with all sorts of things,  They take two patties and form a cavity to fill with bacon or what  ever.  I just had cheese.  The meat adds up to about a pound.  It was a little more than I could eat.  It cost about $8.  They add a little flare to the dish with pasta that looks like straw and a garnish of salsa, if you like that kind of stuff.  Good, but  not the best burger on Fremont Street.  Here's the Video.

Police harass me at Movie shoot on Fremont Street

I was walking down Fremont Street and came upon a movie shoot.  So I took my camera out and started to take a picture.  A movie person tells me that pictures are not allowed.  I'm in public and know that I can take a picture.  The next thing I know a police office is telling me to leave.  I leave but go in a direction different than he suggests.  Three officers chase me down and threaten me.  The first part of the video is not focused on anything as I walk through a casino.  When I come out, the police confront me.
