…and size of the tower feels even more impressive when you explore the open air observation platform which is also available one level below the main deck. The Glass Floor, opened in 1994, causes much excitement – especially among children visiting. Only 1 in 3 visitors is brave enough to step onto the floor, even though it is supposed to be strong enough to hold a herd of hippos! The walk on the glass floor is a step too far for most!

Las Vegas Must See Attractions – Las Vegas Fremont Street Experience

…The centre of the action is The Fremont Experience. This is a massive open air roof screen that projects concerts and shows at night on the hour. All along the street are the original Las Vegas casinos. I had given the area a miss on many visits over the last few years as I felt it was getting run down, felt unsafe and was not worth going to.
