We’ve heard Hotel Apache, like its sister hotel, Four Queens, won’t have a resort fee, so there’s that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n10. First Fremont Street Experience Canopy LEDs Arrive<\/h2>\n Fremont Street Experience, where we work in marketing as our day job (opinions are our own, as if that weren’t readily apparent), is getting a $32 million renovation of its Viva Vision screen. The canopy upgrade is a huge undertaking, and the first shipment of LEDs were recently delivered.<\/p>\nThese crates hold just 1\/16th of the LEDs needed for the Viva Vision upgrade.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe poked our camera into one of the crates to get a look at the new LEDs. The Viva Vision canopy renovation starts around May 6, 2019, and the upgraded video screen will debut on New Year’s Eve.<\/p>\nThese LEDs will give the Viva Vision screen seven times the brightness and four times the resolution.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe light shows at Fremont Street Experience will continue to play throughout the upgrade. Installation of the new LEDs will happen in the late evening through early morning in 150-foot sections (from the west end of the street, near Golden Gate, to the east, near White Castle), but the shows will play with little interruption.<\/p>\n
This Doesn’t Fit With the Rest of the List, But We’re Sharing Anyway<\/h2>\n We figured it was worth mentioning, Beauty Bar on Fremont East has closed and isn’t coming back. The entertainment venue didn’t go down without some drama, but the curtain has fallen for the last time on this beleaguered venue.<\/p>\nBeauty Bar opened in 2004, and was once co-owned by Corey Harrison of “Pawn Stars” fame.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWe trust our list satisfies your thirst for downtown Las Vegas updates.<\/p>\n
Downtown offers a distinct and idiosyncratic, to say the least, alternative to the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n
We do our best to keep you in the loop on all the latest news, mainly because it gives us an excuse to drink and gamble downtown more. We also love keeping you informed. But mainly the drinking and gambling thing. Just keeping it real.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
