Walk historic Fremont Street, made famous by books, movies and television and hear of a known hangout of Dean Martin of the Rat Pack. Learn about the Fremont Street Experience light canopy and how it changed the face of downtown in the mid-1990s and sparked an unprecedented urban renewal that continues today.
