Fremont East District in Downtown Las Vegas
In 2006 the city of Las Vegas revealed plans to redevelop Fremont Street east of the Fremont Street Experience as an entertainment district. The Fremont East District offers an eclectic mixture of bars, clubs and cafes along Fremont Street from Las Vegas Boulevard to Eighth Street. The district continues one block north of Fremont Street to Ogden Avenue and one block south to Carson Avenue. In addition, beginning in February 2010, the city began waiving the $20,000 tavern-limited license origination fee for businesses locating within the district.
In the Fremont East District, you’ll be keeping good company with popular downtown venues such as Azul Tequila, The Beat Coffeehouse, Insert Coins, Beauty Bar, Downtown Cocktail Room, The Griffin, Maharaja Hookah Café, the Vanguard Lounge and more in the planning and construction stages. . Fremont East is one of the only areas which is non gaming, except for the El Cortez Hotel and Casino.

Blue Angel Motel Sign
The Blue Angel opened in 1956. The well known sign was designed by iconic Neon Designer Betty Willis. Betty who also designed the Fabulous Las Vegas sign. Willis was criticized for depicting the well endowed angel that now over looks the motel. At one time, the angel revolved and was surrounded by blue jays. The Blue Angel was inspired, fittingly enough, by the Blue Fairy in Walt Disney’s classic animated feature, “Pinocchio”. The Blue Angel closed in 2011.
