The best thing about downtown Vegas is the Fremont Street Experience, a five block long pedestrian mall with an overhead canopy that is also a huge LED screen. There are four music and video shows every night. Some of the oldest casinos in downtown are under canopy. The rest are within easy walking or rolling distance. The sidewalks and curb cuts are in good shape. Downtown doesn’t have as much glitz and glamour as the strip but if you go to Vegas don’t skip it. Fremont Street
We always stay at the Main Street Station campground. It’s just an asphalt lot with full hookups but the location is great and the price is good, about $20.00 a night. It’s a little noisy because of the freeways that run almost overtop of it. Play some at the casino during your stay and you may get free comped camping. Getting to Main Street Casino is a little bit of a trek through another parking lot and across a street. Make a right turn along the sidewalk to the car drop-off spot, go down the crosswalk curb cut, up the drop-off curb cut and up the ramp into the casino. The casino website doesn’t have any information about the campground but check in is at the hotel desk. Casino

Fremont Street was my favorite Vegas experience by far... I loved that you can still put a nickel in the machine and pull the handle and then have a bucket to gather up your winnings.. and walking up and down under the canopy and it is a very fair/carnival type feeling.. the music and the artists and the people.. I LOVE it!!
