With the Strip expansion in the 1990s, the downtown area (which has maintained an old Las Vegas feel) began to suffer. The city made a concise effort to turn around the fortunes of downtown. The Fremont Street Experience (FSE) was built in an effort to draw tourists back to the area and has proven to be popular in that regard. The multi-level Neonopolis, complete with 11 theaters (managed by Galaxy Theaters, Inc.), was built to offer more retail opportunity and services. Many highrise condo projects have ... been underway as downtown is transforming into a livable neighborhood. Other promising signs emerged for the area.

Las Vegas is not called "the Entertainment Capital of the World" for nothing. From the beginning the town drew the Hollywood crowd to it's frontier style resorts with all the modern conveniences and gambling. At first the entertainment was limited to musicians or singers in lounges and dinner shows. By the mid-40's gaming was not enough and the hotels started to beef up their entertainment to lure the guests of other hotels into their casino. In 1944, the Last Frontier brought the first world renowned performer to appear at a Las Vegas resort, Sophie Tucker, star of Broadway, radio and screen. From then on the battle for marquis names on the Las Vegas strip began.

Las Vegas restaurants are one of the most enjoyable aspects of the Vegas experience. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the various restaurants located on and off of the Strip. Almost every hotel has a variety of different restaurants. The Venetian, for example, has world class restaurants like the "Delmonico Steakhouse" and the "Royal Star." The Bellagio dining options include the "Le Cirque" and "Michael Mina." The Mandalay Bay Resort has the "House of Blues" and the "Chocolate Swan." There are ... many buffets and other good deals to be found, which makes this town a surprisingly affordable place to eat.
