More touristy than Fremont Street east of Las Vegas Blvd, but if you're visiting town you've got to see it. It's the "original" Strip, now a pedestrian plaza and the best people watching I've seen.

Food Scene

People tend to say this bar reminds them of Harry Potter, and I think in the best possible ways. It's fully equipped with curved stone walls and fireplaces throughout.
