Fremont East District
The
city of Las Vegas has created a new entertainment district. Located
in the heart of the downtown area, the Fremont East Entertainment
District sits as an extension to the popular Fremont Street
Experience, which is visited by about 21 million tourists each year.
The city of Las Vegas and Fremont East property owners have
committed $5.75 million through a public-private partnership toward
a major streetscape installation for the Fremont East Entertainment
District. This expansive streetscape will include
pedestrian-friendly street redesign, landscaping and retro neon
signage. The city is capitalizing on popular nostalgia by reviving
the old glamour of vintage Las Vegas.
This
new district is designed to lure new entertainment businesses to the
area such as the newly opened Griffin lounge.
Eventually, the three-block area will be a destination for the party
crowd.
This
installation was dedicated on August 24, 2007.
