Plaza Hotel Set to Reopen in September.

At the west end of Fremont Street anchoring the Fremont Street Experience is the Plaza Hotel.  It has been undergoing a 35 million dollar renovation.  In June the held a job fair to fill over 700 positions.  No one can remember when the hotel was updated last.  So it was due.  The room furnishing came at a bargain in that they were slated for the stalled Fontainebleau project.  More lounges have been added and the entire casino has been gutted and replaced.  I've heard that you can get a room for about $44 a night.  Great deal for a brand new Vegas Hotel   

New Night Spot Insert Coin Opens on Fremont Street

There is a new night spot on Fremont Street in Downtown Las Vegas.  It is located in the block just east of Las Vegas Blvd.  It is called Insert Coin.  It's name is a reference to inserting a coin in a video game.  This is a grown up Las Vegas version of a Video arcade.  The setting is lounge like.  With comfortable niches where video game monitors swivel to face cove like seating for the players.  Drinking is an added attraction to the arcade experience and the dance floor and DJ weave in a club like feeling.  Certainly an interesting blend of experiences.
