Las Vegas hotel's off the strip near Fremont Street?

Hello, I have been to the strip hotels a few times and now I would like to try something at/near Fremont Street. (never been there). Is the Golden Nugget near this area? Is the Fremont Hotel good? I will be staying Friday/Sat and going to the Bellagio on Sunday-Wed.



Also, are these hotels considered safe? I'm from a small town in FL, so I don't know much about these areas.



Any information would be appreciated.Las Vegas hotel's off the strip near Fremont Street?
Staying downtown is a good way to see how "Old" Vegas used to be. But don't wait too long to visit, it's about to change. Also, it's safe on Fremont Street where the hotels are. There's lots a security officers and police officers patroling 24 hours day and you're never far away from a casino. Good Luck and have a lot of fun!
Fremont street is in the downtown of L.V. It is way better than the strip. You don't need a car and it is pedestrian oriented.The light show each night is fantastic. Many nice hotel/casinos are there including the Golden Nugget. My favorite is Fitzgeralds. I know you will like it there. Good Luck!!!Las Vegas hotel's off the strip near Fremont Street?
The Golden Nugget is a good choice for a hotel located on Freemont Street between 1st ST and Casino Center DR.It was owned by the same company as the Bellagio and where Steve Winn got his start and is well kept up. You will enjoy the "Fremont Street Experiance" at night.I recomend the Friday night seafood buffet at The freemont hotel which is on the same corner as the golden nugget, And Hugos Celler resturant in the 4 queens.
In downtown I have stayed at the Plaza, Four Queens, and the Lady Luck. Of these, my favorite was the often overlooked Lady Luck. Its casino floor is nothing spectacular, but the tower rooms were clean, well-appointed, pleasant, and inexpensive. The Four Queens was OK, but there is no pool, the elevators are slow, and its parking garage is confusing. The Plaza has seen better days, and I think the rooms need to be redone. I've heard the Golden Nugget is nice and it was recently remodeled.
Downtown Las Vegas is a great area. It is "old" Vegas but very clean and not such a fast pace as the strip. The last time we were there we stayed at the Fitzgerald and found it very comfortable. Have fun!
