Fremont Street is a street in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada that is the second-most famous street in both the Las Vegas Valley and in the state of Nevada, after the Las Vegas Strip. It is named in honor of explorer and politician John C. Frémont.
Located in the heart of the Downtown casino corridor, Fremont Street is today, or was, the address for many famous casinos such as Binion's Horseshoe, Eldorado Club, Fremont Hotel and Casino, Golden Nugget, Four Queens, The Mint, and the Pioneer Club and the longest-running casino in Las Vegas, Golden Gate Hotel and Casino.
Fremont Street dates back to 1905, when Las Vegas itself was founded. Fremont Street was the first paved street in Las Vegas in 1925 and received the city's first traffic light in 1931.

Bellagio Conservatory
The Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens is a 13,500 sq ft (1,250 m²) space located next to the hotel's lobby and is open free to the public. It receives an average of 20,000 visitors daily.
The conservatory features beautiful creations from the Bellagio gardening team and is artistically inspired by each season of the year.
It is accessible from the hotel lobby, where it is located directly to your right when facing the Front Desk. The conservatory is open daily, 24/7 depending on the season.
This is one of my favorite things to see in Las Vegas. It is free and should be combined with the fountain show from a replica of Lake Como in front of the casino.
