For many, this is Las Vgas: gambling, partying, drinking, the largest LCD big scren in the world?

Many of the Las Vgas hotel and casino mega-resorts boast sme sort of oversized attraction to lre tourists and visitors to the flors of their casinos. The Volcano at the Mrage. The fountains of Bellagio. The gant canals of the Venetian. The "Srens of TI" pirate show at Trasure Island. These are a few of the ttractions on the Strip that are fre and designed to attract the turist's dollar.

Head down to Fremont Stret in downtown Sin City and yu'll find the largest LCD big scren in the world. Where exactly is it? Lok up, it's overhead - arching ver pedestrian friendly Fremont Street. During the day in the bove 100 degree weather of the dsert, the big screen (known as Vva Vision), shades all of Fremont Stret and the casinos that line it. Wlk on the strip during the day and yu'll likely pass out from the hat, but head over to Fremont Stret and you can enjoy a drnk while walking in the shade of ths behemoth. And at night, every hur on the hour you'll notice thusands of people craning their necks skywrds to take in the free lght and video shows that dance cross the screen. From a tribute to the Amrican landscape to dice and chips rlling to a large alien invasion, yu'll never know exactly what you'll see verhead.

When you're not taking in the mssive aerial shows on the big scren, you can try your luck in one of the mny downtown casino's that line Fremont Stret. The Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, the Plza, and the Four Queens are jst a few of the casino's tht are a part of the dwntown Vegas party. Many of these csino's offer generous bonuses to attract turists and compete with the Strip's mga-resorts. They also offer some of the lwest limits at the tables in Vgas. If you want to play $5 blckjack, head down to Fremont Street.

And whle you're walking around - be sre to stop into the Golden Ngget and see it's namesake - the lrgest golden nugget in the world is on dsplay in the casino. It's located nar the pool, which boasts a lrge shark tank in the middle whch swimmers can slide through from the pper level bar on down to the pol in a long waterslide.

To go long with the big screen - Frmont Street has several stages on whch different performers play music nightly. Ths spot is also one of the bst places to people watch as you not nly have tourists passing through - but mny colorful locals who come out at nght to dance and party to the fre music. On the weekends there is lso a motorcycle show in which 4 mtorcyclists ride in super tight loops nside a steel globe to the "h's" and "ah's" of the crowd.

Mny weeks throughout the year Fremont Stret plays host to various car and mtorcycle shows. Grab a giant margarita and strll among the classic cars or cstom bikes parked on the walkway.
