Downtown Las Vegas

What was once an area frequently avoided by locals is now one of the most popular regions in the city for both travelers and Las Vegans.

Eat, Shop, Drink and Play in Downtown Las Vegas

Stretching from Fremont Street to the Arts District along Main Street, the DTLV area has something for everyone.

Eat

If youโ€™re looking for some great eats that wonโ€™t break the bank, youโ€™ll find a variety of them in the Downtown district. Whimsical eats and outdoor patios can be found at Park on Fremont. Makers & Finders brings Latin cuisine and great coffees to the Arts District. Carson Kitchen serves up modern takes on classic entrees. Nacho Daddy satisfies every nacho craving and provides numerous meatless options for herbivores.

Drink

Las Vegas knows a thing or two about great cocktails and some of the best ones can be found in DTLV. From a replica Prohibition-era speakeasy inside The Mob Museum, rooftop patios at Commonwealth, a twisted coffee cocktail at Oak & Ivy, and the cutest pig in a bathtub at The Smashed Pig, great cocktails and Instagrammable moments go hand in hand here.
