In downtown Las Vegas on Fremont street you will find Binion’s casino and hotel. This was started and owned by a gambling icon and mob boss Lester “Benny” Binion.

On the south end of Las Vegas in the South Point hotel you can find a statue of Benny Binion on a horse and at the feet of the horse is a plaque that reads, “Benny Binion one of the city’s founding fathers and the man who brought the national finals rodeo to Las Vegas.”

Street Performers in Las Vegas

Dave 2018-08-03

No matter if you are in Hollywood, California or enjoying the Freemont experience in Las Vegas there are a wild array of different types of street performers who are all looking to make some extra cash. Many just dress up as familiar characters from movies, others dress up as anime characters, while others just choose sexy costumes and take photos with passerbys. What was interesting about the ones on Freemont street was that there are circles on the ground and they seemed to stay within those circles. So it appeared to be predesignated spaces for the different performers.

The only question is, “what would you like to do first?”
