Fremont Street is located in what the locals class as the 'Old Las Vegas'. It houses such famous hotels as the Golden Nugget and is certainly an eye opener at night.
The light show happens from dusk to midnight daily and there is a Neon Museum which opens 24 hours. The light show is free and will amaze you.
The canopy which runs the length of Fremont Street uses a 550,000 watt sound system and has 12.5 million synchronized LED lights and 180 strobes. All of the displays are amazing from planes flying across the canopy to dancers and wonderful light displays.
There are plenty of souvenir shops dotted around the canopy for you to visit and plenty of places to eat and drink.
Fremont Street is in the old part of Las Vegas and I would recommend taking a taxi or the bus which runs on the strip regularly.
A visit to the neon bone yard is an opportunity to get access to a Las Vegas rarity - physical history. In a city where everything new is held sacred, and anything old is disposed of, the neon bone yard is the equivilent of the Louvre. Wander around and marvel at the art of neon -and appreciate the size and scale of these masterpieces. An ecclectic mix of the giant silver slipper and Denny's restaurant signs nestle together in the Nevada desert sand.
Tours are private and by appointment only. Its a charitable organisation running the bone yard. Costs are: For 10 people or more its $5 each.
For 10 people and less its a minmum fee of $50 for the group.
