Glitter Gulch at the west end of the street got its name from its profusion of neon signs, and became a handy establishing shot, turning sights like the Fremont Hotel & Casino and the cowboy Vegas Vic into international icons. Fremont Street has not stood still either."

"In old downtown Las Vegas, Fremont Street is a pedestrian-only area with all kinds of unique sites.

Rooms have grandiose Versailles-inspired decor, while flamboyant suites come with whirlpool tubs, chandeliers or even a baby grand piano."

"PalazzoThe concept began in Hong Kong and the name honors a historic address in New York's Chinatown, but with a mix of style and substance, Mott 32 feels right at home in Las Vegas. The dining room, tucked away in the back of the Palazzo casino, is a bold, modern space with secluded corners and large, comfortable booths for added intimacy. The Peking Duck, wood-roasted in a custom brick and clay oven, is the specialty, but it's hard to overlook other elevated takes on Cantonese cuisine—most notably, the use of Iberico pork and black shaved truffles in the dim sum menu."

"Located at The Palazzo, this show-stopping Chinese restaurant from the Maximal Concepts restaurant group leaves a lasting impression with its Vegas-meets-Hong Kong decor (a neon duck and feather boa chandelier are just a few eye-catching accents). The real star however, is the applewood-smoked Peking duck, which takes 48 hours to prepare and is carved tableside. It’s no wonder that after less than a year in business, Mott 32 was awarded Strip restaurant of the year by local Las Vegas NPR-affiliated magazine Desert Companion."

"If Robuchon is the most elaborate and Savoy the most elegant of Vegas's great restaurants, Gagnaire matches them for the creativity of its cuisine, which is often as baffling as it is exhilarating. One look at his scallop carpaccio with Campari or mushroom broth zézette tells you that you're in the hands of the enfant terrible of French cooking. The years haven't dimmed Gagnaire's incessant search for astounding edibles and his Nebraska sirloin with escargot sauce and venison ice-cream provides a window into the intellectual curiosity that drives his talent."

Founded in 1958, this just off-Strip fine dining restaurant has a long tradition of serving wet-aged steak and classic Las Vegas accompaniments such as shrimp cocktail and oysters Rockefeller. For a special occasion, split the chateaubriand."
