My recent visit to Fremont Street to witness the St. Patrick's Day celebrations paved way for me to check on the Las Vegas Neon Museum exhibit and the other side of Fremont Street called the Fremont East District.
The Neon Museum is a non-profit organization in Las Vegas with a mission "to collect, preseve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of the Las Vegas' international community." There are now a few restored pieces on public display along adjacent streets and the south side of the Fremont street. Checkout this link to see what signs are now available for viewing.
Going to the east side of the Fremont is the newly opened Freemont East District. In late August 2007, the city of Las Vegas completed a $5.5 million streetscape effort for downtown’s new entertainment district, Fremont East. These streetscape improvements were made possible through a public-private partnership by the city of Las Vegas and Fremont East property owners. The Fremont East District sits adjacent to the popular tourist attraction called Fremont Street Experience, which was visited by 18.7 million people last year. New non-gaming clubs, bars and restaurants are now starting to put up their businesses in this area. One establishment which attracted my attention is the Dont Tell Mama Piano Bar. I have read some of its reviews from the day it opened its doors to the public and it seems a cool place to chill out. I will tell you all about it once I get the chance to visit this piano bar.
