LOCATION: Fremont Casino is one of the original casinos of the beginning of Las Vegas. With the renovation and upgrades to this hotel, as well as many others on downtown Fremont Street, it’s a fun, more casual happenin spot of Vegas for tourists. There’s a Walgreens, gift shops, plenty of updated bars, live entertainment (formal and informal- with fremont street live experience groups and street performers), zip line and the very cool electronic tv screen rooftop where there’s live jam sessions combined with colorful video graphics every hour in the evenings. You truly can just stay on fremont street and be entertained, gamble hopping over to the various casinos, and it’s all covered if it rains no problem, and the casinos are just a few steps from each other (not like main Vegas strip where you sometimes have to walk over bridges to the next casino). CASINO: They definitely updated this casino. They extended and added a food court with some great selections including Dunkin Donuts, Craft Kitchen, Steaks & Shakes, and so on. There’s a small but intimate sports bar area, and the updates also are reflected with the nice bathrooms. They truly did a great job updating this casino. It’s a cool vibe here, and you can see where it all started for Vegas with the history. SMOKING: It’s an old casino y’all. No matter how hard they try or have a non smoking casino area, it’s not going to work. There is a smoke odor period. If you get a non smoking room, the smoke smell is subtle, but it’s there. These original vegas casinos were built back in the day and they can do their best, but it’s just not going to remove the smoke odor all together. ROOM: Pros- I was impressed by the updates. It truly looks like what it does in the pictures on the website. You can check out the photos as pictures are worth a thousand words. The bed was COMFORTABLE, sheets and blanket were also comfy. I slept WELL. The bathroom has a nightlight built in so if you use the restroom in the middle of the night you won’t be blind in the dark. Decor is nice, very modern. Bathroom was spectacular, but it is a tad small but still great. Hot water comes out immediately. Plenty of towels ready for you. Cons- Not as clean as I like it to be honest. I pay attention to the small things so these may not bother you, but there was a couple of dried nuts left on the ground under the work desk, and a piece of a candy wrapper on the floor by the bed which makes me question the vacuuming. Also dust in crevices (not obvious places) and in the closet. The obvious thing for me was the hand prints on the window. They obviously don’t clean the room thoroughly, but it’s surface level cleaning where again, it’s not obvious until you get settled in and notice these little, but important things. TV cable has 25 channels or so only but I guess who is in Vegas to watch tv? Depending on where your room is, you can hear the fremont street experience when the music and digital music show goes on every hour but it ends at midnight. …
