Fremont Street is the second most popular street in Las Vegas after The Strip. It is located a cab ride away from the infamous Las Vegas Strip and in the heard of the downtown area. In many ways Fremont Street is the OG of Las Vegas. Many of the popular casinos, including the Golden Nugget, call this location home. Although The Strip has an abundance of lights and neon signs, it is Fremont Street that has earned the nickname Glitter Gulch.
