ResumoDowntown Las Vegas, the old city center, represents the history, culture,and heritage of Las Vegas. Casino Core is a district which function as a planned casino,hotel and entertainment district in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. With the development of Las Vegas as an international entertainment center,the old city center declined. In order to revitalize the declined downtown,the Street Experience,a project of public-private partnership between City of Las Vegas and the Fremont Street Experience Company,was implemented to try to attract tourists down to downtown area and compete with casinos along the Las Vegas Boulevard. With the addition of the Fremont Street Experience,this area came together as a compact, incorporating restaurants,special gift shop and supporting entertainment uses along the Fremont Street,with continuous active frontage from one end to the other. The design of the project transformed the idea of pedestrian shopping mall into an urban theater and made downtown a complete resort destination and a must-see attraction.
