Food Trucks Invade Downtown: East Fremont

July 10, 2011

Every second Saturday starting at 6pm downtown, off Fremont Street East, there is a street party going on featuring Las Vegas’ high end food trucks called Vegas StrEATS. It is a food festival bringing in upscale food trucks to the downtown area with a very unique blend of food, music and art.

The Vegas StrEATS festival opens at 6 p.m. and runs until 2 a.m. The food is delicious, affordable and there is no admission charge. Vegas StrEATS is held across the street from the El Cortez Hotel Casino on 6th street. The festival is a mix of Vegas locals, eclectic hipsters, artists and a few downtown tourists. It can take 15 minutes or more to get your food because everything is made to order, but it is well worth the wait. Also, there is nowhere to eat your food once you get it.  They set up 4 cocktail tables, but that wasn’t enough to support the large crowd and there are no benches or even walls to sit on. You can sit on the curb, which is not comfortable or the easiest place to balance a platter of sliders and fries. There were tents with various vendors selling everything from local art to costume jewelry, a DJ and graffiti artists creating works of art for the crowd.
