Downtown Las Vegas has a colorful history, and one of its most recognizable and beloved casinos is celebrating its 60th anniversary. Fremont Hotel & Casino opened May 18, 1956.
Fremont casino will celebrate its diamond anniversary every Thursday throughout the summer with kiosk games, dining specials, Slot Dollar drawings and a special commemorative gaming chip.
Fremont opened as one of the first high-rise hotels in Las Vegas. Boyd Gaming purchased the hotel-casino in 1985, along with its sister property, the classic Stardust.
