Downtown Las Vegas: A world all its own
Historic Downtown Las Vegas combines vibrant, big-city energy, luxury living and the trendiest restaurants, bars and entertainment steps from residents’ doors. The downtown area has become popular with locals who enjoy a more relaxed pace than the tourist-heavy Vegas Strip. Downtown is located just north of the famous 4-mile Las Vegas Strip in the center of the Las Vegas Valley. While The Strip is known for mega-casinos and neon-lit resorts, Downtown claims the Valley’s second-most famous street, Fremont, plus art, medical and financial districts.
The economy, as most would guess, is held up by gambling and entertainment, but the new Zappos headquarters downtown, along with the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, has started attracting more medical and technology-focused businesses. “It’s a very interesting and exciting time for Downtown Las Vegas,” says Paul McGuire, Chief Marketing Officer for the Fremont Street Experience for eight years and a Downtown Las Vegas resident. Fremont Street Experience is a company promoting the downtown area and is owned by eight hotels and casinos. “We’re in the golden age, and the diverse offerings from all the investments made have really revitalized downtown. “It’s the eclecticness that makes it so amazing. It’s become this creative spot where people can dip their toes into nostalgia and history, while at the same time, it’s progressive and trendy with its breweries and restaurants.”

World-class dining, entertainment and art in every direction
Restaurant and nightlife options are limitless in Downtown Las Vegas. Enjoy a night out with friends at Carson Kitchen, a sleek, industrial space with a rooftop patio serving gourmet burgers, flatbreads and other small plates. Head to Velveteen Rabbit for craft cocktails in a funky space featuring vintage furniture and local art. Pizza joint Evel Pie satisfies with New York-style pie by the slice while paying homage to daredevil Evel Knievel with the most extensive collection of the icon’s memorabilia. For upscale gourmet dining, the list is nearly never-ending, but popular favorites are Hugo’s Cellar – Four Queens, the rooftop at Binion’s Steakhouse and Top of the World, a rotating New American restaurant on the 106th floor of Stratosphere Tower with panoramic views. “As far as restaurants, it depends on what flavor you’re looking for,” McGuire adds about the area’s diverse food scene. “At Four Queens, it’s an old-school vibe. Think Rat Pack Era. The maître d's are dressed in tuxedos, and every woman that dines there is given a rose, and it’s very romantic.”
Classic casinos like the Golden Nugget, downtown’s largest, and the El Cortez, a frequent winner of “Best Local Casino” by readers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, are good bets for all table games in the Fremont Street Casino District. After a night out, cure hangover blues at the breakfast spot, Hash House A Go Go. For more excitement, head to “a block that never stops,” a five-block pedestrian mall known as Fremont Street Experience. “It’s an entire city block dedicated to amazing entertainment,” says McGuire. “It started in 1994 with the idea that we needed to compete with the Strip.” Enjoy live music, endless table games at casinos and world-class restaurants in this entertainment district. When it comes to bars, McGuire says East Fremont Street is the go-to area. “ReBar is a cool dive bar, you walk in, and you can literally buy anything,” he says. “The couch you’re sitting on has a price; the marquee hanging on the wall has a price tag to it. I bought a slip-and-slide just because. There’s an eye spy aspect to it.”
McGuire says that Whiskey Licker Up, a revolving bar, and a rooftop bar at the top of Circa Resort & Casino are also both popular spots. “There’s a lounge at the top called Legacy Club, and the views are breathtaking around sunset,” he says. “You get unobstructed views of the entire valley.” Thrill-seekers will enjoy the SlotZilla Zipline, where they can fly like Superman between attractions 11 stories over the district. “It’s a replica of a slot machine that’s the largest slot machine in the world,” he says. “You’re flying by marquees that don’t exist anymore; you’re literally flying over history.” Or enjoy the dazzling Viva Vision light show on the 90-foot-wide screen, the world’s largest. In this district, residents will also find the Mob Museum and the Neon Museum, an outdoor piece of nostalgia that displays old signs from famous casinos and other buildings.
Of course, Downtown Las Vegas’ character isn’t just defined by gourmet eateries and lively entertainment venues. The Arts District is the epicenter of culture here. It offers 18 blocks of breweries, art galleries, murals, studios, vintage stores like Retro Vegas and unique places like the Cockroach Theater, known for its thought-provoking shows and Nightmare Toys, filled with horrifying objects, movies, creepy masks and more for the morbidly curious. “It’s blowing up like SoHo in New York City,” says McGuire of the Arts District. At the 61-acre mixed-use development, Symphony Park, residents will find a variety of retailers, grocery stores and medical facilities. The park is also home to The Smith Center for the Performing Arts and is adjacent to the 315,000-square-foot Las Vegas North Premium Outlets.

Luxury high-rise living downtown
While this walkable neighborhood isn’t overflowing with properties for sale, its options reflect the Vegas vibe – luxury, amenity-rich, and, of course, unique. “if you like character, certain design styles and are creative-minded, this community is your wheelhouse,” says McGuire. “Value is another reason people come here, and convenience is another aspect.” Downtown Las Vegas is mainly made up of high-rise condos built in the mid-2000s, but there are a handful of single-family, ranch-style homes built in the mid-1950s. Condos range from $215,000 for a 1,200-square-foot two-bedroom to over $700,000 for a 2,000-square-foot high-end condo and topping out over $1.2 million for a two-bedroom penthouse with art deco and contemporary designs. Condos boast parking, excellent security and panoramic views of the Valley and The Strip. The Ogden is a 21-story luxury condo tower near Fremont Street with spacious balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows. Pet owners enjoy the private, 24-hour pet park. A two-bedroom, 1,200-square-foot unit sells for close to $670,000. Encompassing an entire city block, a contemporary condo tower called Juhl offers one- and two-story units from 616 to over 2,500 square feet. Prices range from the low $300,000s to over $1 million, including amenities like an alfresco movie theater and a co-op working lounge. Most condos are within walking distance of nightlife, the ARTS District, casinos and dining options. As far as single-family homes, most are fixer-uppers ranging from $210,000 to $450,000. “The closer you get to Las Vegas Boulevard and Fremont, it’s cool lofts with great views, condos and apartments,” he says. “On the outskirts, there are homes in the Scotch 80s and homes that offer that hip midcentury modern look and feel.”

Historic and pocket parks
While its food and nightlife scenes are the area’s bread and butter, outdoor enthusiasts will find solace in several parks around the neighborhood. At Old Las Vegas Mormon State Historic Park, history buffs will find the 1855 Old Mormon Fort, the first permanent structure built in what would become Las Vegas. An on-site visitor center tells the story of the fort, and visitors can explore parts of the original structure, early pioneer artifacts, a wagon and a garden. Over at Heritage Park, residents can exercise on the walking path, have a picnic in its open space or admire the desert garden.

A hub for year-round events
Celebrations and festivals abound in Downtown Las Vegas. The First Friday Festival, occurring once a month, is a popular event in the Arts District with a variety of performances, art exhibits and live music. Fremont Street is also a hub for year-round events, like live concerts, regular dance parties and magic shows. “We have more free live entertainment than any place in the country,” says McGuire. “We have three permanent stages with live music that starts at 5 p.m. every night.”
McGuire adds that St. Patrick’s Day is one of the neighborhood’s biggest days of the year, along with Halloween, and Downtown Vegas is the official host for the city's New Year's Eve celebration. “New Year’s is the only ticketed event; all of the rest of them are free,” he says.

Community approach to crime
Crime does tend to be on the higher end, with a CAP Crime Index score of 7 out of 10, higher than the national score of 4. To combat high crime in the area, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has implemented initiatives like the Vegas SafeCam, a free service for businesses to register their video surveillance system. On the first Tuesday of every month, each area command center hosts an event so the community can meet with officers and express their concerns. On the weekends, the department instituted ID checkpoints and metal detectors in the Freemont Street Experience area to improve safety. And at the end of 2023, the department, the City of Las Vegas Marshals and the Freemont Street Experience partnered to open a new police substation in that area, complete with more squads on bikes patrolling to prevent crime.

A breeze to get around town
U.S. Route 95 and Interstates 215 and 15 provide easy access to the rest of the Valley, including the Vegas Strip, a 7-mile drive and Harry Reid International Airport, 6 miles away. While the neighborhood is walkable, public transit options are abundant. Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada operates over three dozen routes in the area. The Deuce double-decker bus system runs 24 hours a day, stopping at most resorts in all its blinged-out glory. Of course, the city also operates the Downtown Loop, a free shuttle hitting all the major attractions in the downtown area.
Residents of Downtown Las Vegas can easily commute using the public transit system.
