About the Casino

The Fremont is a Downtown Las Vegas landmark, having been in operation for more than 50 years since 1956. In a city that seems to delight in tearing down or remodeling its history, experiencing a bit of “old” Las Vegas is a welcome change from the occasionally over-processed palaces on The Strip.

Of course that doesn’t mean change doesn’t happen.  The owners of the hotel have announced plans to more than double the size of the property.  They will be adding 500 rooms in a new 32-story tower plus 22,000 square-feet of additional casino space and other new facilities. The rest of the hotel, which dates back to 1956, will get a makeover at the same time including the existing rooms, which will be made larger (reducing the number of them in the old tower). Everything should be complete by 2021.

Located on The Fremont Street Experience, a dazzling light and sound show, The Fremont casino area is small by Strip standards (only 32,000-square-feet) but it is jammed with just about everything you’d want – a nice mix of slots, video poker, and table games with relatively low limits – yes, you may be able to find $2 blackjack tables here.

As with most Downtown casinos, they’ve crammed a lot of stuff into a relatively small space so walkways are narrow and personal space is at a premium. Despite this they’ve done a great job keeping the place airy and bright so there is a very low claustrophobia level.

As with the casino, the rest of the hotel is small by comparison as well. There are only 447 rooms – many hotels on The Strip have 10 times that amount – but there are benefits to being in a hotel of this size. For instance you don’t have to don hiking boots and bring a bottle of water to make it from your room to the elevator. In fact, getting from your room to the front door or the valet parking can be done in a couple of minutes – something I defy you to do at one of the gigantic hotels.
