The Las Vegas Downtown is not a place of megastory financial temples. Instead, it is a conglomeration of government buildings, carnival attractions, not-so-very-glamorous casinos, storefront shops dealing in souvenirs, and unclaimed pawn shop miscellany. Glitter Gulch is the heart of the area, with its neon-lit row of casinos and, since the mid-1990s, free entertainment in the form of the Fremont Street Experience. This nightlife zone is here to stay, but the Las Vegas leadership is also planning a legitimate downtown on 61 acres close to Fremont Street, which will reflect the status of Las Vegas as one of America’s richest cities.
