The neon canopy hums like a restless sky as your guide leads the group under Fremont Street Experience. Heat from the pavement rises in summer; in the evening the lights make the crowd move like a tide. You stand where Las Vegas began to reshape itself — between restored neon signs, a reclaimed arcade of mid-century casinos, and the repurposed shipping containers of Downtown Container Park.
