Las Vegas Was Nothing Like It Is Today
We bet the Las Vegas strip is the first thing that will come to your mind when talking about Sin City. However, its predecessor is Fremont Street which has been here since the city’s foundation in 1905. Back then, it was where things happened in Las Vegas. It was the first paved street and this was where the first traffic lights in the city were installed. Likewise, it was among the first places in the state to earn a gambling license.
Fremont Street’s Efforts To Become As Big As The Strip
Nowadays, this is what the once-famous street looks like. Yes, it is more of a walkway than it is an actual street! We daresay that the biggest development here is the barrel vault canopy cloaking the Golden Nugget. There are light and sound shows every night and the LED canopy has helped revive business in this area of the city.
