39 years of life I've eaten ungodly. amount of pizza and can confidently. declare Pizza Rock at Downtown Grand to. be the best pizza by the slice spot in, all of Las Vegas go there eat pizza Savor the moment don't take it for granted the pwn Stars pawn shop can be reached from downtown Las Vegas via the. free downtown Loop shuttle that picks Riders up at several locations along, Freemont Street a free attraction the shop is a fun spot for fans of the hit History Channel show Pawn Stars to St in person in addition to traditional pawn. shop items some of which you've seen Bartered for on the show there's a whole, section of show memorabilia to peruse while fun to visit you'll want to note. that the stars of the show are rarely, there and the shop can get pretty. crowded there are two unique pool scenes, in downtown Las Vegas that anybody can, enjoy provided you pay a cover charge, the first Stadium swim at Circa is a, paradise for sports fans posting 143t 14, million pixel screen in addition to six. swimming pools that are heated and open, year round cover charges for stadium, swims start at $20 but can be more. depending on the day the second is the, tank at Golden Nugget which features a 200,000 gallon aquarium stocked with. fish and sharks as its centerpiece there's even a clear water slide that dissects it cover charges for the tank. start at $40 my favorite part of golden nuggets pool scene though is the $5, poolside tub craps game which is literal, Paradise while it costs money for people to come in and use the pool if you're. not staying at the hotel anyone can walk. off the street and gamble poolside for free and I recommend it while Fremont, street performers are more commonly a, nuisance than not bucket drummers performers do span the ability and. talent spectrum and there are often Musical dance or other acts that are. worth checking out throw some money in the bucket and enjoy a show or in my case throw some money in the bucket and watch these two dudes continue to stand still oops Heart Attack Grill is known for serving free meals to those weighing. in at over 350 lb but it's an oddity for. Slimmer patrons as well as you'll be, dressed in a hospital gown and spanked, if you don't finish your meal definitely, an experience unique to Las Vegas people, that flock to Fremont Street On Any Given night are a frighteningly. interesting subset of humanity and I. recommend you post up at a bar with a, view and do some people watching some suggestions include whiskey liquor up at bions which offers a bird's eyee view of. the madness below Plaza's new Carousel, Bar which is located near the casino, entrance and giv gives you a great. perspective of the masses Milling past and four Queen's patio bar which is. right next to one of Fremont Street. stages and positions you steps away from. passers by Zach bans the haunted museum, is a short ride from Fremont Street and, houses a collection of Zach's Oddities. in the old wingert mansion which is said. to be haunted no photo or video is. allowed inside but items you can expect, to see in the 30 plus room range from Haunted items dolls and boxes all the. way to tools of the trade used by serial, killers you know it's creepy you have to sign a waiver to get in and it's not scary like a haunted, house would be but people in my group. were really freaked out about the items, inside and lastly an honorable mention, and I know I said things to do on, Fremont Street besides gambling but I view this more as an arcade game where. you can win or lose a few quarters Sigma. Derby at the D is a vintage mechanical horse racing game that allows you to bet. as little as a quarter on simulated. horse races and it is so fun to sit back, chat watch the horses and sip a cocktail and if you don't have quarters they have, change machines right there hey thank you so much for watching hopefully I was. able to help you identify an item or two. to piece into your Fremont Street, itinerary if the video is helpful make. sure you subscribe to be alerted when, new content comes out.
