Emergency Arts building in the old Fremont Medical Center

The old downtown historic JC Penney’s department store opened on April 3, 1952 and was converted in to the Fremont Medical Center in 1985. It is now called Emergency Arts and it is the home to the Beat Coffeehouse and Records, Lola Pictures, and array of galleries, non-profits, start-ups and co-ops. The old Fremont Medical Center neon sign is still mounted on the building as seen in this photo.

Neon Museum with elements of Las Vegas' past referred to as the "Boneyard"

The Neon Museum in Las Vegas, features signs from old casinos and other businesses displayed outdoors on over 6 acres.

For many years, the Young Electric Sign Company stored many of these old signs in their “boneyard.” The signs were slowly being destroyed by exposure to the elements. The museum is slowly restoring the signs and placing them around the Fremont Street Experience.

Velveteen Rabbit on Main Street

Located off-Strip and off-downtown (away from Fremont Street) in the mist of the emerging “Arts District” at 1218 S Main Street the Velveteen Rabbit is a gem in the downtown bar scene. Super friendly staff. Craft cocktails. Amazing artwork. This is the place to be.
