"Downtown" covers the area between Mainstreet and 9^th Street. In the early fifties developed parallel to the strip the gambling. In the old town you see besides small hotels and motels hotels and known casinos like the Plaza, Four Queens and Golden Nugget as well. Further you find in old town the railway station, the Greyhound-Bus-station, the police station, the post office and various administration buildings, the city hall and the Marriage License Bureau. So as Las Vegas Boulevard got importance by new hotels and casinos, the glamour of Downtown faded. This changed 1994, when the centre of downtown, the Fremont Street, grew to a pedestrian precinct, and made to a tourist attraction by a project of 70 Mill. Dollar. At the Glitter Gulch there are arranged the "Fremont Street Experience" light show every night.
