I love downtown! The live music and vibes are always on point. Circa is my favorite but what I love most is how downtown reminds me of how Vegas used to be.

As a local, and long time fan of Old Vegas: This was very well done!

I lived downtown for years and worked at the Plaza for 3 years. I am amazed how much it has changed. I am totally satisfied with what Norma has explained the changes.

I had so much fun downtown Vegas. I recommend women wearing some type of fanny pack or a crossbody purse/bag. Don’t let it just hang off your shoulder. You need to watch your stuff. There’s some sketchy people down there. But it’s a lot of fun. Drinks are stronger and cheaper. I like to people watch.

The Lady Luck was our favorite place to go to. We got married in Vegas and stayed there all the time. Freakmont Street has changed alright, that's why we call it that. I do prefer it to the strip though. We now live here and love it. And can I say you are just so adorable.

I just came back from 3 days in Vegas, been 3 times before and this fourth time was the worst. Freezing cold, strip was dead and quiet by 9PM, and EVERYTHING WAS A RIP OFF. Also all the drivers and locals were pissed off at the disruption of the F1. I paid $40 USD for 3 mile rides in Ubers. Vegas has gone downhill bad

Also, if you get a Las Vegas Advisor coupon book, it has a coupon that takes resort fees out for up to five nights at The Downtown Grand! 😀 Hopefully the CHAT doesn't get SMUSHED on the next livestream. 😆

Wow, did not even mention the El Cortez Hotel and Casino! Best Casino in downtown. Thanks for sharing!

I remember Fremont Street from the 70's as a kid. My parents always had better luck there than on the strip so that's where we'd stay in Vegas. I have to admit, my luck has been demonstrably better in the downtown casinos. Your luck may vary, of course. Thanks for taking me a long, Norma!!

I love the Downtown Grand! My sister-in-law stayed in the augmented reality room and we took advantage of a lot of their deals while she was there. 👍

That last shot of you drinking the most over the top tropical drink in a thick winter coat is so hilarious!

We are coming in February, staying downtown at The Plaza so I appreciate you covering some of the cool stuff there! We got married in Vegas in 2015 so we will be celebrating our anniversary. 🎉😊🎉 Thanks so much for making cool, fun videos 🥰

Norma , You also need to vet your places better.The Downtown Cocktail room is average at best.This isn't a troll post ,it's information your viewers would really want to know before going 1. A 20% service charge is added to EVERY bill 2. A 3% fee is charge for using a credit card 3.They do not include any premium liquor for happy hour,all house cocktails are made with cheapest brand of liquor 4. The "nosh" is limited to nuts/olives/pretzels/pickle on a stick.All from national food wholesaler The special on Beer/wine is decent ,but you need to be more critical for your viewers.Another warning to a place is sort of "phony happy hours".A downtown place that needs to have HH from open to 8pm every day is concerning to me. I've been there ,and enjoyed the atmosphere ,and reasonable drink prices ,but they lost me at the techno DJ music at 9:00pm. Sort of lost the "speak easy" vibe you mentioned. Speakeasy ,and DJ should never be used in the same sentence. I'd love to hear your comments

El Cortez is 21 & older too. 👍

I have stayed at Main Street Station Hotel and casino in the Fremont Street area, and I highly recommend it. The Mob Museum in the area is a must-see for anyone who loves history!

Thank you Norma !! The last couple times I was in Vegas - I skipped downtown. I do remember seeing Melinda and her magic show at the Lady Luck back in 1995. Times do change. Thank you so much again for all you do. Looking forward to Vegas on December 3rd !! 😅

My favorite part of Fremont from spring to fall they have free concerts from bands that have put out albums and now the plaza hotel and casino are having bands play at it's comedy club like dirty honey is set to play this November the G.A tickets are $30 bucks not bad better than the big strip would change

"Is it summer yet?" I sooooooo get it!

I stayed downtown for the first time on my last trip in August. The D was super fun and affordable! I’m going to stay at Golden Nugget next month!

Hi Norma, great video. OK, now I want to visit downtown again. I enjoy walking under the Viva Vision it's cool and like gaming at Circa. Those were some amazing rooms at the Downtown Grand. I still want to take advantage of the dinner deals at Tony Roma's one day. Visiting downtown is something I do occasionally because I enjoy the Las Vegas Strip more. Smooshed.

Downtown is great! It's definitely not for everyone though. If your into partying, drinking, live music, ppl watching, street performers, etc than you will love it! Technically everything is a little cheaper there, however I have noticed since the F1 race was announced for Vegas, the drink comp minimums for casino bars has gone up and bartenders on fremont st are more strict about drink comps. It is totally awesome when they have well known bands playing live!

Thanks again Norma! I’m still new to Downtown Vegas and only visited 3 times. The prices seem more reasonable and affordable. Next time I visit, I plan to watch your video again. It’s really helpful. I love the downtown vibe, seems more down to earth and laidback. I don’t have to dress to impress. I can get a nice hearty meal for dirt cheap. Get a few cheap beers from the souvenir shops. And a snack and I’m a happy dude. Good for people watching, free entertainment yo, lit! 🔥Take a bus on back to the strip and call it a night eh! But I’m down to walk from the strip to downtown, but maybe start early in the morning with pit stops, never tried it though. No I’m not Canadian. 😀

I took about 3 grand to last me a week for shows, gaming and food. Ended up hitting a slot machine for 6 grand on my first slot played. Just doing 20 bucks at $2.00 a spin. Needless to say i went home with 3k. And got to go to tons of shows, lots of great food and gifts for friends. They have some awesome trinket stores. A local put me onto some of the souvenir stores just 5 minutes off strip. Had much better deals then prices on the strip. I would go back again but definitely would budget a few grand. Just got lucky last time!

Right past the uber commercial Fremont Street Experience is a pretty decent part of Downtown, with some decent bars and eats. I'm also a big fan of the Arts District, altho this area does tend to go almost vacant on the streets once nightfall hits. The restaurants there still do solid business tho.

I will be Sunday November 5 in Downtown Las Vegas, staying at the 4 Queens. I love Downtown. I'm coming to Las Vegas since 1977. The changes since then are incredible. I love your Vegas reports Norma. Great job.

8:15 Please note that you mentioned free parking when eating at one of their establishments.And you have a picture of the PBR hot dog deal in the background. You need to spend $25.00 in order to get validated parking.A combo special won't do it

Have stayed at the Golden Nugget the last couple of times going to LV, always had a good time.

A trip to Vegas is never complete without a night on Fremont Street...assuming you stay on the strip. Back in the 90's we stayed at the tropicana and downtown was..rough is a good word. Throughout the 2000's though we wouldn't miss it. Nice vid, Norma!

I prefer downtown. The bars, atmosphere, walking distance between casinos and cheaper food and beverages make it a great place to stay.

hell yeah downtown Vegas my favorite you should do more downtown Vegas videos lol

2 dollar pbr and hot dog looks great. I also like the whiskey and beer deal you showed. That mikes aperol with a 100 bill looked cool im ordering one.

My wife and I are about to take our teenage son (15 years old) for our first trip to Vegas next month, your videos have been SUPER helpful. Thank you!

We stayed at the Plaza pre-COVID and our room overlooked Freemont which was super cool.

I love the live bands and entertainment on Fremont, and it's always a good time. I'm pretty chill though, so I've never actually stayed downtown. After seeing how quiet and away from the madness of Fremont St. the Downtown Grand is, I just might give it a try next time. Another thing I like is how all the casinos are smushed together, so it's so easy to get around. Thanks for all the helpful information. Really great job Norma!! 🌠

We love Fremontstreet! Halloween was great and the cocktails at the Carouselbar were delicious! Thanks for the awesome vlogs! Greetings from the Netherlands!

Love it, I've been to downtown Las Vegas and enjoyed it, though my favorite is the strip! You always come up with original ideas for these videos, can't wait for the next one 🙂 and, you're still very beautiful, always 🙂

Thanks for doing something on downtown. We’re coming in December and staying downtown for the first time.

Stayed in Rm 1 @ the Golden Gate. Small but historic! First hotel room in Vegas I suppose!

Glad to see this video. If you remember, this is when my wife and I met you in Fremont. In fact, Angie is playing video poker in the background when you are at the bar at The Grand. We love your channel.

Hello Norma when I lived in Vegas my roommate works at the Downtown Grand she has been there about 7 or 8 years.. if you went in the in the day maybe you seen her 😊

Thank you for caring n telling the people not to stray to far from the main areas n to know their surroundings.another words stay safe.

Downtown Henderson and downtown Summerlin as well are great

Thanks for the video. Saw some familiar places as well as a lot of new places that I would like to go see on my future visits to Vegas.

I remember being on Fremont Street in my first trip in 1986. It was bizarre then--it's even more bizarre now! Thanks for another great, informative video Norma. Wow, three videos in one week--counting your new Life of a Norma Geli video and your members-only video. Then, there's your livestream Monday. Keep up the great work! Just don't get smushed!!!

New member! one of the best video's you have produced, I have been marathoning all your old ones.They don't come close. Last 2 weeks really uped the bar. Excellent content

Love the video, still haven’t been to Fremont yet but mostly definitely be goin next trip, all the fees can be a lil crazy, BUT LAS VEGAS IS THE NUMBER 1 PLACE TO SO MANY THINGS TO DO THERE KEEP U THE GOOD WORK NORMA, CAN WE GET A 24 hour LUXOR OR EXCALIBUR VIDEO

I love Fremont Street. That's where all the fun is at..

Thank you Norma for this great informative video

NORMA another great video, THANKS FOR INVITING US ALOMG ON YOUR JOURNEY... always a class act, great job...😏

Norma, great video. All your videos are packed with info.. Been watching/subscribed since you first started and you really grew your channel to being one of the best that covers Vegas!

Great video and timely since I will be out there soon! That hot dog and PBR special at the Downtown Grand is a game changer because they had never had a quick easy snack option before. Between that and the new food court across the street, there are some nice additions. I am also looking forward to checking out those two new bars at the Plaza. Thanks for the tips!

Norma, you ain't that old. Remember Freemont street with traffic! My my!

Fremont is the best thing in vegas, everybody love fremont.

Thanks Norma. Perfect timing cause I wanted to get into wine. Hopefully I find something I like. Have a great weekend

The wifey and I always appreciate and look forward to your content

Hope you had a Happy Halloween and stayed outta trouble, Norma. Sorry your comms got squished on Monday.

Great video. Downtown has changed a lot and you explained it well. Visitors should definitely come and see the old casinos, totally different vibe from the Strip.

The KZfaqrs make it more fun here!

Downtown is best town. Love Fremont Street. Prefer it to the Strip. I love the walkability, volume of casinos, better gaming conditions, cheap food options, free live music and the overhead light show. It really is a gambling block party every night.

This past weekend, my buddy and I came in for a cigar show at Resort World and stayed at The D for the first time. We had a great time. My wife and I usually stay at The Mirage. But The D was great I would recommend it for sure!

Way to go Norma I give you like because I enjoy it

Another great and informative video. It’s very different than the Strip!! Also, Mob museum is cool especially the Speak Easy!! At least today you can read the comments!!!!😂😂

Best time to go is at night to really appreciate the show up top. And the mob museum is a block away! Coming back December and like always, looking forward to it!

Another great video! Thanks Norma.

Yep downtown is great! I did walk to the neon museum and I have to agree. I recomend against it.

Been many years since I have been to downtown but your videos always make me want to visit. Especially with so many new attractions. And it hurts me to watch your wine video knowing you SMUSHED your toes on the door.

You need to do a roadie video to the Napa Valley if you want to talk about wine! If you want to find out about wines, there's nothing in the USA like a visit to the Napa Valley!

I LOVE Fremont!! I LOVE TLC Properties (4 Queens, Binion's, Hotel Apache) - they've ALWAYS given me exceptional service, and the comps I've received from them were above and beyond ANYTHING I got on the strip - just for the feedback I left them! The tables and slots really DO seem to be looser than on the Strip. The staff are open and inviting. Security is quick and responsive. The restaurants are really good (Magnolia's, Evel Pie, Dirt Dog, Oscar's Steakhouse, Pink Box Donuts, and on and on...), and there's SO much to DO that in a 4 day stay, you may not even MAKE it to the Strip! The Mob Museum is so cool, and the Container Park, and Neonopolis (The Cat's Meow Karaoke, Indoor Go-Kart Racing, Bowling and arcade, and even a wedding chapel!) - One of the coolest places I've ever been to! But, and this isn't for EVERYONE, It's a stone's throw from Hogs & Heifers - the coolest saloon I've EVER been to! I was drawn into the place by one of the bartenders (all female) shouting at me, "Hey, B___H! Get your sexy A__ IN HERE"! Being Transgendered, I couldn't resist THAT siren call! The girls were brassy, bold, and SO much fun! I'm heading back up to LV in July - TLC has comped me 2 tix to the Mike Hammer Comedy show, drink vouchers, and a 'Ghost Hunting' kit. Yeah! I'm gonna be at Hotel Apache!! I LOVE Fremont Street!!

Winning on a Slot Machine downtown went out when they put in places to sit down beside in front of a Slot Machine, 1990's.

Downtown is so much fun. Great video as always!

My friends and I love to play roulette at the four queens love their bar love how it’s open to the Fremont Street. It’s just a cool vibe.

Downtown is the perfect hangout location to eat, play and stay. You can do cheap or splurge they have something for everyone down there. We love it down there. For some reason I'm a magnet for ketchup spills, everytime i have fries.

Great tour of what Downtown has to offer! Thanks Norma!

Nice to see downtown get some love on here, I had a blast hanging out there last week. Had my birthday dinner at Oscar's and headed over to Hogs and Heffers, so much fun there. 🎂 🥳 🎉

Agreed, Until F1 chaos is over……downtown is the place to be!!

FSE was completed before my first trip to Vegas, so I find it so strange to see cars on that part of Fremont in old movies and TV shows.

I've watches a zillion videos preparing for my visit in December... but yours are my favorite!

Excellent content and presentation of downtown LV. In your view. do the pros outweigh the cons of visiting/staying there? Opinion---which is worse, smushed line of words during a live stream or smushed toes opening a door? Just asking.

Whoa it’s really nice to show us at downtown… it is a very awesome! Thank you, Norma! 🥰

Favorite place in Downtown is the Griffin bar. Love the gothic style there.

California Hotel…. nicest staff & nicest visitors from Hawaii…. Mahalo, brada!

Uh oh. You told everyone about Aloha Specialties. LOL. Great tour!

Muchísimas gracias Norma por todos tus videos, me han servido mucho para decidir a donde ir y que hacer. Sin dudarlo vi como 50 vídeos tuyos jajaja (te quedan muy bien btw). La próxima semana estaré por allá. Seguramente todo saldrá de lijo gracias a tía tips. (I know you can read Spanish so… hahaha) Saludos y un beso. Cuídate! 😉

I was just in Vegas this past week and stayed on the strip. I didn't get to visit Fremont/downtown due to time constraint. Hope to check it out the next time. Otherwise, Vegas was awesome!

Fremont is the only place we stay now. We may venture to the strip for a few hours, but we spend most of our trip on Fremont.

I took my grandmother to Fremont street. It was so much fun! I am planning to going back to some historical significant hotel and sites.

Love a wander around.

My husband and I love downtown Las Vegas. We always stay at the Golden Nugget. Thanks for your vlog!

Great 📷 video Norma! Like Downtown Vegas! I didn't realize that there are so many affordable Food 🥑 Options! Definitely more Chill than the Strip!

I think downtown provides some of the value that you used to get on the strip. Yes can be sketchy at times but I do enjoy staying at the Golden Nugget

2 bucks awesome thanks for the vid norma gonna get a hotdog yum new subsciber 😀

Downtown sketches me out now. We have reservations for Oscars in December though!

Great 👍 tips 😊

Hi, wow its been 3 years the last time I saw one of your Vegas videos, I'm glad to see you again 👍

I have been staying at The D and Circa. Favorite thing is the 3 different stages of free live rock bands on Freemont St. 🎉

I go to Vegas once a year and have never stayed downtown but I will now! Thanks so much for this video

Norma you should start a tour guide business. You know so much about Vegas. You do a great and fantastic job, keep it up.

I think downtown is a better time than the strip if you know what youre doing and where to go. East Fremont is dope for bars snd restaurants. Sand Dollar in the Plaza and now Fat Cat in Downtown Grand are a good time with delicious cocktails and finishing the night off with Oxtail Soup at the California is a must. Thanks for the heads up on Joe's Special! 😎

Wow, so much to impact here. Moved here just about a week ago. Didn't know vegas had this much to offer. Thanks for sharing.
