The Fremont Street Experience officially opened on Dec. 14, 1995; however the iconic street has a history dating all the way back to the start of the city itself.
Fremont Street actually got its start in May 1905 when businessman, entrepreneur and politician William Andrews Clark (who Clark County is named after) held a land auction for the construction of the railroad that went from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, according to the city of Las Vegas. At this time, there was no gaming on Fremont Street as it was considered a business district.
Fremont Street’s official website said the iconic street essentially birthed an even more iconic city.
