Fremont Street AP er

What kind of crowds could this fella amass on Fremont Street?

Could he compete with the costume crowd?

Or the fella playing the 5 gallon plastic pail?

I hate the crap on Fremont st. I remember
before the stupid canopy, when it was a
real part of old Vegas. Phooey on the
carnival stuff, get rid of it.

I agree that thing is dumb. But they needed to do something. It would've been cool if the went with an old Vegas theme downtown. With old cars, old signs everywhere, memorabilia, old resorted slots, old restaurants/diner. Added in some really good old vegas impersonators and acts. Perhaps a timeline change as you walk the length of fremont.

Casino employees could've dressed representing the different times. The could've sponsored different events where people dressed up for whatever theme they choose that day with contests. Old car shows, exhibits or whatever.

The best real hamburger in Vegas was at a small diner shop on fremont towards El Cortez its now some crappie place. No fancy burger crap just a inexpensive tasty burger and fries.`

I don't mind some tasteful street performers in designated places, but it's gotten totally ridiculous. Unfortunately the drunk people obviously enjoy it or their wouldn't be so many of them.

I really enjoyed that! Vegas has Fremont Street with it's performers, NYC has the naked body painters, New Orleans has a myriad of talented people on it's streets as well. These are all tourist destinations and these folks are giving the tourists what they want and expect.

Of course there's always that one, rare, bitter old man that will gripe about anything. You know the type. He would rather be sitting home waxing about the good old days while yelling at neighborhood children when their ball goes one foot onto his lawn.

The video you posted reminds me of a talented and entertaining group of street performers in New Orleans called Dragon Master Showcase. They usually set up in front of The Inn on Bourbon. I still call it that. It's a Four Points now.

I have my reasons for not posting links here but google Dragon Master Showcase for a good show. By the way, if you think casino dealers hustle for tips, you ain't seen nothin' until you've seen these guys. :-)

Methinks this young lady has the stuff to hit it big performing at FSE.
