About the place

Fremont Street concentrates the early gaming history of Nevada along a dense downtown promenade.

Fremont Street sits in downtown Las Vegas as the secondary casino corridor behind the Strip, named after explorer John C. Frémont. It contains historic establishments including the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, Binion's Horseshoe, Four Queens, and Golden Nugget, representing the city's foundational commercial betting footprint.

The corridor gained the city's inaugural paved roadway and its earliest traffic light before highway routes shifted to interstate bypasses. In the automotive era, it served federal routes until the Glitter Gulch section closed vehicular access to build the overhead pedestrian concourse of the Fremont Street Experience.
