Fremont East District

Well, I finally got some photos of the Fremont East District. For those of you that don't know, it's the couple of blocks on Fremont Street, east of Las Vegas Boulevard. Formerly, the Fremont Street 'area' ended there, at the east end of Neonopolis. A block east of Las Vegas Boulevard is the El Cortez Hotel and Casino, and a couple of blocks further is the Western Hotel and Casino. East of there are many derelict and defunct old motels. You can see photos of many of them on my web site at:

Before this new development, however, the area east of LV Blvd. was considered 'dangerous', especially at night. That was the perception, anyways. The City of Las Vegas decided to spif up the area, and, among other things, came up with some original 'retro', signage. Unfortunately, for now, there are a lot of vacancies, and one solid new development, the Griffin nightclub, with a cool neon sign (photo coming soon).
In any case, here are some daytime photos of the new signage. I'll post some of the night views soon.
