Okay, this wasn't really a gun day. Since we only had one day left in Vegas, we decided to go back to the "Old Vegas" downtown. They call this area "The Freemont Experience". This is where all the old casinos are - the ones you see on CSI. Freemont is home to such icons as The Fitzgerald, the 4 Queens, The Golden Nugget, Binion's and many more. On the strip, you pay $15.00 for a cup of coffee and breakfast sandwich. On Freemont, you can get a real breakfast for $5.00. They give you free drinks as long as you sit in front of the penny slots. On the strip, a half-liter bottle of water costs $3.50. On Freement, they're 2/$1.00. Need I say more? If I didn't have to pay $7.00 per day to take the bus to the Shot Show, I would stay on Freemont Street whenever I'm in Vegas, and visit the strip.
You might be wondering about the canopy that covers Freemont Street. Well, that is a whole attraction on its own. Every night at 6:00PM and every hour after that, a spectacular light show plays on the canopy, which is actually a base for millions of LED lights. All the casino outdoor lights go out, the music cranks up and the show begins:
It's an amazing experience for anyone who has not seen it!
