VSLive!'s Out on the Town in Old Las Vegas
Wednesday, March 12th

The Las Vegas strip is exciting, but have you experienced all that downtown Las Vegas has to offer? This is your chance to see the real Las Vegas (or "Glitter Gulch" as it was known for years due to all of the neon lights), from the first Vegas hotel (still operating as the Golden Gate Hotel and Casino) to the nightly Viva Vision show, you don't want to miss the "real" Las Vegas.

Join us on Wednesday night as complimentary buses run from our host hotel, the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, to the heart of old town Fremont Street (drop off and pick up will be at the Golden Nugget Rush Tower, 129 E Fremont St.). Take this opportunity to explore downtown Las Vegas’s vibrant nightlife, including its restaurants, the Fremont Street Experience, SlotZilla Zip Line, a Pedestrian mall, the Neon Museum, the Viva Vision show, casinos, and so much more. Viva Las Vegas!

Buses will depart the Paris Las Vegas Hotel (bus pick-up outside hotel reception) starting at 6:00pm and will run back and forth, roughly every 30 minutes, with the last bus departing Fremont Street at the Golden Nugget, Rush Tower at 11:30pm.
