Freemont Street Experience
The Freemont Street Experience is a classic tourist trap in Vegas. You’ve gotta go at least once. So, we did. We got there a little early, so the light and music show had not started yet. We moseyed around and ended up going into the Golden Nugget to look around and eat dinner. If you have never been to Vegas, let me say this, you DO NOT want to venture off of Freemont Street itself, especially at night. It’s in the old part of Vegas and is not the best of neighborhoods. However, Freemont Street itself is pretty cool because it’s so different from the contemporary Vegas strip. The best part is a light and music show that takes place about every half hour on the ceiling covering most of the street. It has something like 12 million lights. There are lots of street vendors and artists outside of the casinos, gift shops, and eateries. So, we had fun checking things out. Here are a few of my snapshots from the night.
We drove to California just so Sabrina could say she had been there. We were disappointed to find that there was no sign telling us that we were in the state of California. However, we did get to take some pics of the Joshua trees in the Mohave Desert.
These were some pretty cool lights in the casino at the Golden Nugget
We saw this amazing street artist at Freemont Street. They created these fabulous works of art with spray paint in a matter of about 10 minutes. It was amazing to watch and we ended up taking a couple home. They have to stay high all the time because we have aired those paintings out for 2 days and they still stink!
The Stratosphere marks one end of the strip.

Next post should be an actual portrait session since we are through playing now and are hard at work scoping things out at the show. 8 hours of concrete walking and carrying lots of heavy paper and brochures will wear you out!
