4-20 Excitement Abound

Elvis is still alive in Vegas

Have you ever spent an evening roaming around Fremont Street in Las Vegas? If not and you get the chance you really should. Fremont is a closed off for about four or five blocks, it is covered in some type of material that blocks much of the sun and at night things are projected onto this covering. During the daytime people wander  in and out of stores, perhaps purchasing something at a shop or from one of the kiosks in the center or maybe they do a bit of gambling in one of the smaller casinos. Very casual and relaxed. At night the place comes alive, music is pounding, Elvis is preforming, lights are flashing, characters like Michael Jackson, Captain America, and Iron Man are hanging out taking pictures with tourist for tips. In between providing drinks barmaids can be seen dancing on the bars. People are everywhere, some simply staring at all the sites while others might be dancing in the street or flying by 30 feet above your head on a wire. As the evening wears on more people are crowded in the same area and many of them have consumed large amounts of alcohol, everyone is having a ball, you have never seem more people simply having a great time. At the start of each hour a incredible light show choreographed to songs is projected above the entire street, people slow down to absorb this but when it ends everything once again goes wild. Larry and I spent a large amount of time last night strolling the street enjoying the experience, kept him up past his bed time. Fremont Street after dark should not be missed.
