Fremont Street, Las VegasTim raves about a recent stay at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas:
Not being a gambler, I have avoided Vegas as a vacation stop in the past. I just returned from a conference hosted by the Golden Nugget, and I have to admit my past opinions of the city were turned on their proverbial heads.

Whoever revamped Fremont street really knew what they were doing. Cars are no longer allowed, and the street between the Nugget, Binions, Four Queens, Pioneer, and the Plaza has been turned into a showpiece that pays homage to every Vegas movie you have ever seen.
