Concierge.com's insider take:
There is a funkier, less hyped (and less expensive) version of Las Vegas on the Strip's less-developed north end, the cluster of buildings known as downtown. We don't recommend staying there, but it's worth an afternoon of gambling at lower minimums (25-cent roulette, $1 blackjack, penny slots) and a bit of an early-Vegas, Casino vibe. Grab a drink at the sexy new $20 million pool (with shark tank) at the Golden Nugget, and stick around for the hourly ten-minute light shows at the Fremont Street Experience. Twelve million lightbulbs create a massive oblong LED screen on the canopy hanging over the street, and the nightly shows (6 p.m. to midnight) are surprisingly entertaining. End the day with a cocktail in the emerging bar scene at Fremont and Las Vegas Boulevard. The Downtown Cocktail Room honors the fine art of mixology, and the Beauty Bar throws in a free manicure with your martini on Friday nights after 9 pm. Otherwise, cab it to Art Bar, a dive known for stiff drinks, sudden specials, and an easygoing crowd (1511 Main St.; 702-437-2787).
