We're from the UK and visited LV a couple of weeks ago, I just wanted to thank you for all the tips you've givenin all your videos, it really helped us choose where to go (and where to avoid!) - in particular we weren't aware of the Chinatown part and had some lovely meals there, so thank you for that. We found Freemont a bit 'much' for us and didn't really enjoy that part of town to be honest - especially the big old lady with her t*ts out asking for money. But we did like Nacho Daddy at the end of Freemont. One little thing we found was that the regular margarita at the Filament bar in the Freemont Casino is literally the best I've tasted in over 30 years of loving the drink. Oh and Katy Perry was amazing!! Thanks again.
I love downtown! The live music and vibes are always on point. Circa is my favorite but what I love most is how downtown reminds me of how Vegas used to be.
I'm glad I stumbled across this. All the other TH-camrs ignore this area! Finally, someone did an informative video of that area. I remember it because of the movie "Cool World". Yes, the movie where Gabriel Byrne has sex with a cartoon of Kim Basinger!
The Lady Luck was our favorite place to go to. We got married in Vegas and stayed there all the time. Freakmont Street has changed alright, that's why we call it that. I do prefer it to the strip though. We now live here and love it. And can I say you are just so adorable.
I lived downtown for years and worked at the Plaza for 3 years. I am amazed how much it has changed. I am totally satisfied with what Norma has explained the changes.
Always love DT. Better class of peeps. Sunday night after the NASCAR race was a blast! Bands everywhere, knuckleheads from Tennessee playing craps while sunburnt and way overdrunk. Stuff like that.
We are coming in February, staying downtown at The Plaza so I appreciate you covering some of the cool stuff there! We got married in Vegas in 2015 so we will be celebrating our anniversary. 🎉😊🎉 Thanks so much for making cool, fun videos 🥰
I have stayed at Main Street Station Hotel and casino in the Fremont Street area, and I highly recommend it. The Mob Museum in the area is a must-see for anyone who loves history!
I remember Fremont Street from the 70's as a kid. My parents always had better luck there than on the strip so that's where we'd stay in Vegas. I have to admit, my luck has been demonstrably better in the downtown casinos. Your luck may vary, of course. Thanks for taking me a long, Norma!!
Norma, great video. All your videos are packed with info.. Been watching/subscribed since you first started and you really grew your channel to being one of the best that covers Vegas!
New member! one of the best video's you have produced, I have been marathoning all your old ones.They don't come close. Last 2 weeks really uped the bar. Excellent content
Thank you Norma !! The last couple times I was in Vegas - I skipped downtown. I do remember seeing Melinda and her magic show at the Lady Luck back in 1995. Times do change. Thank you so much again for all you do. Looking forward to Vegas on December 3rd !! 😅
Hi Norma, great video. OK, now I want to visit downtown again. I enjoy walking under the Viva Vision it's cool and like gaming at Circa. Those were some amazing rooms at the Downtown Grand. I still want to take advantage of the dinner deals at Tony Roma's one day. Visiting downtown is something I do occasionally because I enjoy the Las Vegas Strip more. Smooshed.
I had so much fun downtown Vegas. I recommend women wearing some type of fanny pack or a crossbody purse/bag. Don’t let it just hang off your shoulder. You need to watch your stuff. There’s some sketchy people down there. But it’s a lot of fun. Drinks are stronger and cheaper. I like to people watch.
Great video. Downtown has changed a lot and you explained it well. Visitors should definitely come and see the old casinos, totally different vibe from the Strip.
Great video and timely since I will be out there soon! That hot dog and PBR special at the Downtown Grand is a game changer because they had never had a quick easy snack option before. Between that and the new food court across the street, there are some nice additions. I am also looking forward to checking out those two new bars at the Plaza. Thanks for the tips!
@@benboyer3894 yeah, it’s all planned out. The casinos on the strip are in negotiations right now, which basically bullies them to come to a deal because they will lose so much money if they can’t operate during F1. Golden Nugget will be in negotiations leading up to Super Bowl since that is a very busy time for them, so you should be good for next month at the Nugget. They won’t even be negotiating yet.
Thanks again Norma! I’m still new to Downtown Vegas and only visited 3 times. The prices seem more reasonable and affordable. Next time I visit, I plan to watch your video again. It’s really helpful. I love the downtown vibe, seems more down to earth and laidback. I don’t have to dress to impress. I can get a nice hearty meal for dirt cheap. Get a few cheap beers from the souvenir shops. And a snack and I’m a happy dude. Good for people watching, free entertainment yo, lit! 🔥Take a bus on back to the strip and call it a night eh! But I’m down to walk from the strip to downtown, but maybe start early in the morning with pit stops, never tried it though. No I’m not Canadian. 😀
We love Fremontstreet! Halloween was great and the cocktails at the Carouselbar were delicious! Thanks for the awesome vlogs! Greetings from the Netherlands!
A trip to Vegas is never complete without a night on Fremont Street...assuming you stay on the strip. Back in the 90's we stayed at the tropicana and downtown was..rough is a good word. Throughout the 2000's though we wouldn't miss it. Nice vid, Norma!
Love the video, still haven’t been to Fremont yet but mostly definitely be goin next trip, all the fees can be a lil crazy, BUT LAS VEGAS IS THE NUMBER 1 PLACE TO SO MANY THINGS TO DO THERE KEEP U THE GOOD WORK NORMA, CAN WE GET A 24 hour LUXOR OR EXCALIBUR VIDEO
I love the live bands and entertainment on Fremont, and it's always a good time. I'm pretty chill though, so I've never actually stayed downtown. After seeing how quiet and away from the madness of Fremont St. the Downtown Grand is, I just might give it a try next time. Another thing I like is how all the casinos are smushed together, so it's so easy to get around. Thanks for all the helpful information. Really great job Norma!! 🌠
Love it, I've been to downtown Las Vegas and enjoyed it, though my favorite is the strip! You always come up with original ideas for these videos, can't wait for the next one 🙂 and, you're still very beautiful, always 🙂
This past weekend, my buddy and I came in for a cigar show at Resort World and stayed at The D for the first time. We had a great time. My wife and I usually stay at The Mirage. But The D was great I would recommend it for sure!
Also, if you get a Las Vegas Advisor coupon book, it has a coupon that takes resort fees out for up to five nights at The Downtown Grand! 😀 Hopefully the CHAT doesn't get SMUSHED on the next livestream. 😆
Glad to see this video. If you remember, this is when my wife and I met you in Fremont. In fact, Angie is playing video poker in the background when you are at the bar at The Grand. We love your channel.
We saw you on Fremont St filming this video! I wanted to say Hi but we were getting our caricature drawn! Lol I watched a bunch of your videos before our trip (it was our first time in Vegas!) Thanks for making these!
god i cant believe i been living here for 2 and a half years....and just met you here! daaaayum...and i was really thinkin about going back home to seattle....but now, hmmm...i think i'll stick it out for a while more :)
Another great and informative video. It’s very different than the Strip!! Also, Mob museum is cool especially the Speak Easy!! At least today you can read the comments!!!!😂😂
Great video as always Norma! We love staying both on strip and downtown. The Downtown Grand is one of our favorites. Very clean, quiet rooms. Carson Kitchen and Oscar's are the best restaurants in downtown.
Best time to go is at night to really appreciate the show up top. And the mob museum is a block away! Coming back December and like always, looking forward to it!
Been many years since I have been to downtown but your videos always make me want to visit. Especially with so many new attractions. And it hurts me to watch your wine video knowing you SMUSHED your toes on the door.
I remember being on Fremont Street in my first trip in 1986. It was bizarre then--it's even more bizarre now! Thanks for another great, informative video Norma. Wow, three videos in one week--counting your new Life of a Norma Geli video and your members-only video. Then, there's your livestream Monday. Keep up the great work! Just don't get smushed!!!
Uncle played 21 at the El Cortez when an atom bomb exploded. Went out on Fremont and watched it rise. The picture of the mushroom cloud is on the postcards! He then went back to the 21 table.
Right past the uber commercial Fremont Street Experience is a pretty decent part of Downtown, with some decent bars and eats. I'm also a big fan of the Arts District, altho this area does tend to go almost vacant on the streets once nightfall hits. The restaurants there still do solid business tho.
Excellent content and presentation of downtown LV. In your view. do the pros outweigh the cons of visiting/staying there? Opinion---which is worse, smushed line of words during a live stream or smushed toes opening a door? Just asking.
Muchísimas gracias Norma por todos tus videos, me han servido mucho para decidir a donde ir y que hacer. Sin dudarlo vi como 50 vídeos tuyos jajaja (te quedan muy bien btw). La próxima semana estaré por allá. Seguramente todo saldrá de lijo gracias a tía tips. (I know you can read Spanish so… hahaha) Saludos y un beso. Cuídate! 😉
Nice to see downtown get some love on here, I had a blast hanging out there last week. Had my birthday dinner at Oscar's and headed over to Hogs and Heffers, so much fun there. 🎂 🥳 🎉
Downtown is great! It's definitely not for everyone though. If your into partying, drinking, live music, ppl watching, street performers, etc than you will love it! Technically everything is a little cheaper there, however I have noticed since the F1 race was announced for Vegas, the drink comp minimums for casino bars has gone up and bartenders on fremont st are more strict about drink comps. It is totally awesome when they have well known bands playing live!
Norma , You also need to vet your places better.The Downtown Cocktail room is average at best.This isn't a troll post ,it's information your viewers would really want to know before going 1. A 20% service charge is added to EVERY bill 2. A 3% fee is charge for using a credit card 3.They do not include any premium liquor for happy hour,all house cocktails are made with cheapest brand of liquor 4. The "nosh" is limited to nuts/olives/pretzels/pickle on a stick.All from national food wholesaler The special on Beer/wine is decent ,but you need to be more critical for your viewers.Another warning to a place is sort of "phony happy hours".A downtown place that needs to have HH from open to 8pm every day is concerning to me. I've been there ,and enjoyed the atmosphere ,and reasonable drink prices ,but they lost me at the techno DJ music at 9:00pm. Sort of lost the "speak easy" vibe you mentioned. Speakeasy ,and DJ should never be used in the same sentence. I'd love to hear your comments
I think downtown is a better time than the strip if you know what youre doing and where to go. East Fremont is dope for bars snd restaurants. Sand Dollar in the Plaza and now Fat Cat in Downtown Grand are a good time with delicious cocktails and finishing the night off with Oxtail Soup at the California is a must. Thanks for the heads up on Joe's Special! 😎
I will be Sunday November 5 in Downtown Las Vegas, staying at the 4 Queens. I love Downtown. I'm coming to Las Vegas since 1977. The changes since then are incredible. I love your Vegas reports Norma. Great job.
Love love love Vegas, love Norma! Love Lydia and love all your content! Oh and I love gambling as you can tell by my channel! 😂 ❤ sending all the good vibes Norma!
Great video as always. The downtown district used to be so damn cheap, the casinos practically begging you to come in, giving you all kinds of little gifts (albeit mostly crap) and coupons just for walking through the door. There was a place that had huge shrimp cocktails in tulip glasses for just 99 cents! I bought a bunch and that was dinner. There was another place with 5 cent coffee too. No longer. Downtown seems to have followed the Strip's lead and has gotten expensive unless you're willing to stay at the heavily run down Four Queens. Maybe.
Ahh, those were the days... Minimum wage was $3.00 an hour, gas was .79 cents a gallon. But God forbid you can't get cheap shrimp cocktail for .99 cents 40 years later...😂😂😂
@@caj1119 served in a Libby's Model 5115 6.5 OZ ice cream sundae glass. They used small shrimp and if they liked you they would pack it down and give you a few more. The trick: order one with cocktail sauce and one without because they really ladled on the sauce. Damn, I'd pay $10 for one of them right now. Oh, Brand name saltine crackers on the side.
I wasn't able to go when you were getting those deals, but I was there last week and the minimum for craps was pretty much the same as the strip. Still a fun place to just see though.
I was just in Vegas this past week and stayed on the strip. I didn't get to visit Fremont/downtown due to time constraint. Hope to check it out the next time. Otherwise, Vegas was awesome!

How was the plaza?
I have stayed at Main Street Station Hotel and casino in the Fremont Street area, and I highly recommend it. The Mob Museum in the area is a must-see for anyone who loves history!
That last shot of you drinking the most over the top tropical drink in a thick winter coat is so hilarious!

Thank you for caring n telling the people not to stray to far from the main areas n to know their surroundings.another words stay safe.
"Is it summer yet?" I sooooooo get it!
I just recently started following you and i was wondering if you do this full time? I enjoy your videos by the way! 👍🏽👍🏽
I stayed downtown for the first time on my last trip in August. The D was super fun and affordable! I’m going to stay at Golden Nugget next month!
Hopefully we aren’t on strike!
I am so very hopeful the casinos pay up sooner then later 😬 F1 could become more of a mess then it already is

@@samsampier7147 it was sooo good I already stayed a 2nd time in March, the pool area is amazing!
Wow, did not even mention the El Cortez Hotel and Casino! Best Casino in downtown. Thanks for sharing!
They don't allow any kind of video cameras or smartphones. Probably why she left it out. I love it too, and stay there.

Great tour of what Downtown has to offer! Thanks Norma!
Another great video! Thanks Norma.
Downtown is so much fun. Great video as always!
Thanks Norma. Perfect timing cause I wanted to get into wine. Hopefully I find something I like. Have a great weekend
My wife and I are about to take our teenage son (15 years old) for our first trip to Vegas next month, your videos have been SUPER helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. Saw some familiar places as well as a lot of new places that I would like to go see on my future visits to Vegas.
This past weekend, my buddy and I came in for a cigar show at Resort World and stayed at The D for the first time. We had a great time. My wife and I usually stay at The Mirage. But The D was great I would recommend it for sure!

That's a great tip. 👍
How you score those?
@@fenner1122you buy it from them. They also report on resort fees and parking fees on their channel here. Binions has no resort fee.
Glad to see this video. If you remember, this is when my wife and I met you in Fremont. In fact, Angie is playing video poker in the background when you are at the bar at The Grand. We love your channel.
Way to go Norma I give you like because I enjoy it
We saw you on Fremont St filming this video! I wanted to say Hi but we were getting our caricature drawn! Lol
I watched a bunch of your videos before our trip (it was our first time in Vegas!) Thanks for making these!
The TH-camrs make it more fun here!
Thank you Norma for this great informative video
Fremont is the only place we stay now. We may venture to the strip for a few hours, but we spend most of our trip on Fremont.
Hi Chica new subscriber love your videos - I am going to Vegas next week I hope I can meet you and take a pic😊
Enjoyed the video Norma. So much work goes into your videos. Informative & entertaining. No “smooched chat” ha ha
NORMA another great video, THANKS FOR INVITING US ALOMG ON YOUR JOURNEY... always a class act, great job...😏
Whoa it’s really nice to show us at downtown… it is a very awesome! Thank you, Norma! 🥰
I go to Vegas once a year and have never stayed downtown but I will now! Thanks so much for this video
El Cortez is 21 & older too. 👍
I have been staying at The D and Circa. Favorite thing is the 3 different stages of free live rock bands on Freemont St. 🎉
god i cant believe i been living here for 2 and a half years....and just met you here! daaaayum...and i was really thinkin about going back home to seattle....but now, hmmm...i think i'll stick it out for a while more :)
2 bucks awesome thanks for the vid norma gonna get a hotdog yum new subsciber 😀
Winning on a Slot Machine downtown went out when they put in places to sit down beside in front of a Slot Machine, 1990's.
Another great and informative video. It’s very different than the Strip!! Also, Mob museum is cool especially the Speak Easy!! At least today you can read the comments!!!!😂😂
Norma, you ain't that old. Remember Freemont street with traffic! My my!
Thanks for doing something on downtown. We’re coming in December and staying downtown for the first time.
Great 📷 video Norma! Like Downtown Vegas! I didn't realize that there are so many affordable Food 🥑 Options! Definitely more Chill than the Strip!
I've watches a zillion videos preparing for my visit in December... but yours are my favorite!
Great video as always Norma! We love staying both on strip and downtown. The Downtown Grand is one of our favorites. Very clean, quiet rooms. Carson Kitchen and Oscar's are the best restaurants in downtown.
Uh oh. You told everyone about Aloha Specialties. LOL. Great tour!
hell yeah downtown Vegas my favorite you should do more downtown Vegas videos lol
Norma Geli back with another banger!!!
We stayed at the Plaza pre-COVID and our room overlooked Freemont which was super cool.
I love Fremont Street. That's where all the fun is at..
Wow You are getting better at every video 👏
Best time to go is at night to really appreciate the show up top. And the mob museum is a block away! Coming back December and like always, looking forward to it!
2 dollar pbr and hot dog looks great. I also like the whiskey and beer deal you showed. That mikes aperol with a 100 bill looked cool im ordering one.
Hope you had a Happy Halloween and stayed outta trouble, Norma. Sorry your comms got squished on Monday.
Damn I’m early for once after staying at work for OT lol. Keep up the great content 🤙🏽
I stayed at the grand and it’s awesome! I had a room facing Fremont and it wasn’t to bad

Fremont is the best thing in vegas, everybody love fremont.
Be there on Sunday at the Downtown Grand! Love Fremont!
Nice to see downtown get some love on here, I had a blast hanging out there last week. Had my birthday dinner at Oscar's and headed over to Hogs and Heffers, so much fun there. 🎂 🥳 🎉
Have stayed at the Golden Nugget the last couple of times going to LV, always had a good time.

Norma , You also need to vet your places better.The Downtown Cocktail room is average at best.This isn't a troll post ,it's information your viewers would really want to know before going
1. A 20% service charge is added to EVERY bill
2. A 3% fee is charge for using a credit card
3.They do not include any premium liquor for happy hour,all house cocktails are made with cheapest brand of liquor
4. The "nosh" is limited to nuts/olives/pretzels/pickle on a stick.All from national food wholesaler
The special on Beer/wine is decent ,but you need to be more critical for your viewers.Another warning to a place is sort of "phony happy hours".A downtown place that needs to have HH from open to 8pm every day is concerning to me.
I've been there ,and enjoyed the atmosphere ,and reasonable drink prices ,but they lost me at the techno DJ music at 9:00pm. Sort of lost the "speak easy" vibe you mentioned.
Speakeasy ,and DJ should never be used in the same sentence.
I'd love to hear your comments
I prefer downtown. The bars, atmosphere, walking distance between casinos and cheaper food and beverages make it a great place to stay.
I think downtown is a better time than the strip if you know what youre doing and where to go. East Fremont is dope for bars snd restaurants.

Ahh, those were the days... Minimum wage was $3.00 an hour, gas was .79 cents a gallon. But God forbid you can't get cheap shrimp cocktail for .99 cents 40 years later...😂😂😂
@@caj1119 served in a Libby's Model 5115 6.5 OZ ice cream sundae glass. They used small shrimp and if they liked you they would pack it down and give you a few more. The trick: order one with cocktail sauce and one without because they really ladled on the sauce. Damn, I'd pay $10 for one of them right now. Oh, Brand name saltine crackers on the side.
I wasn't able to go when you were getting those deals, but I was there last week and the minimum for craps was pretty much the same as the strip. Still a fun place to just see though.
Great video Norma i always stay in downtown. Love Aloha Specialties great food. Thank you for sharing and great info as well.
I was just in Vegas this past week and stayed on the strip. I didn't get to visit Fremont/downtown due to time constraint. Hope to check it out the next time. Otherwise, Vegas was awesome!
I might have to do downtown next year if F1 returns. Thanks Norma for the tip.
Love a wander around.
My friends and I love to play roulette at the four queens love their bar love how it’s open to the Fremont Street. It’s just a cool vibe.
Norma you should start a tour guide business. You know so much about Vegas. You do a great and fantastic job, keep it up.
