I had a better time in the one night we were on Freemont Street than the 4 other days we were on the strip. The Strip was crowded and lacking in character compared to Freemont St. which is the offspring of a love affair between Time Square and Bourbon Street. Its bright and flashy like Time Square, but laid back and fun like Bourbon St (without the strong stench of urine). When my husband and I go back to LV, we’re staying in one of the Freemont St. hotels rather than on the strip.
