 | | On May 15, 1905, a railroad land auction held near what is now Fremont Street and Main Street, created the Las Vegas Township, and launched the development of a dynamic city whose essence would be defined throughout the century and beyond by free-spirited, free-wheeling entrepreneurs, speculators and characters of all varieties. |
 | | Famous for its fabulous neon, the Fremont Street Experience is also home to some of the most recognizable Las Vegas icons like “Vegas Vic,” which was erected atop the Pioneer Club in 1951. |
 | | A frequent backdrop for films and television and host to special events and concerts, Fremont Street Experience draws more than 16 million visitors annually to enjoy the light and sound shows, stroll the promenade, dance to live entertainment, sip exotic drinks, snack on shrimp cocktails and enjoy 63 restaurants and other hotel amenities. |
