After gambling was legalized in Nevada during the 1930&#8217;s, Fremont Street quickly became the place to be.&nbsp; It was named the &#8220;Glitter Gulch&#8221; from all of the flashy neon signs that were visible from miles away.&nbsp; It was during the 1950&#8217;s that many of today&#8217;s oldest casinos like Binion&#8217;s Horseshoe and the Golden Nugget were built, not to mention other casinos that served as a front of mob activity. <\/p>\n<p>Today, you can stroll through memory lane by staying at the <strong>Golden Gate Casino and Hotel<\/strong> at 1 Fremont Street (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldengatecasino.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.goldengatecasino.net<\/a>), arguably the first hotel on the Fremont strip.&nbsp; When you visit today, don&#8217;t miss out on their famous shrimp cocktails for $1.99 &#8211; it is, after all, &#8220;the best tail in town.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/images\/articles\/vintagevegaslobby.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"El Cortez Cabana Suites\" title=\"El Cortez Cabana Suites\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"369\" align=\"left\" \/>If you&#8217;re looking the best hidden gem hotel in Fremont today, then check out the new <strong>El Cortez Cabana Suites<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elcortezcabanasuites.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.elcortezcabanasuites.com<\/a>).&nbsp; Opened in April 2009, the suites offer a chic boutique hotel experience with clean, well-styled rooms and personalized service from $55\/night.&nbsp; Located nearby downtown Las Vegas&#8217; growing artist district, it&#8217;s a great spot for those looking for low-key accommodations away from the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none;

Here, you can step back in Las Vegas history with a walk through this junkyard housing hundreds of old neon signs from casinos that have closed down or replaced their signs.&nbsp; For another equally offbeat tour, check out the <strong>Liberace Museum<\/strong> for a look at the &#8220;King of Bling&#8221; and his ridiculous and extravagantly designed pianos, cars and feathery capes. <\/p>\n<p>A night out on the town in old Vegas begins with dinner at <strong>The Golden Steer<\/strong> (308 West Sahara Ave.), known as the oldest restaurant in Las Vegas.&nbsp; Opened in 1958, it boasts red and black upholstered booths, classic chopped salads and filet mignons 5with peppercorn sauce on the side.&nbsp; The Golden Steer was home to the Rat Pack &#8211; Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin &#8211; not to mention Elvis, John Wayne and Gene Kelly.&nbsp; When you book a table, ask for the Elvis Presley booth &#8211; the best table in the house.&nbsp; Just don&#8217;t be fooled by its location an an old, run-down strip mall. <\/p>\n<p>To end your evening in old Las Vegas, be sure to check out the <strong>Jubilee!<\/strong> show at <strong>Bally&#8217;s Las Vegas<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ballyslasvegas.com\/casinos\/ballys-las-vegas\/casino-entertainment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.ballyslasvegas.com<\/a>) for some classic Vegas showgirl entertainment.&nbsp;
