We (me and wife) stayed at the Fremont for the weekend of Aug 8-10 before moving to the Stratosphere (see my other review) for Aug 10-15. We were visiting Vegas for our 21st anniversary. The price at the Fremont was half the Stratosphere for the weekend at $54 per night (Fri and Sat night).

The room was super clean - a little on the small side - but did have a full King Size bed and full bath - not much else fits in the room. But you know what - it was great for the few hours we actually spent in the room.

The staff at this hotel / casino are great from the Valet to front desk to cocktail waitresses and dealers - all super customer service. The check in at the hotel from car drop off at valet to our room took a whole 5 minutes and our check out was even quicker!! The drink service in the casino was better then any other casino we vistted this week (and we went to a lot!)

We had champagne brunch both Saturday and Sunday in the buffet - very nice buffet - one of the better ones we ate at. With 2 for 1 from hotel checkin the first day and comped 2 for 1 the second day we had champagne brunch with tip for less then $20 for the two of us.

Great $3 blackjack and video poker selection. Nice enough casino with a Dunkin Donuts in the middle for morning coffee.

But the best part of this hotel is its location - from our room to the middle of Fremont Street with access to Four Queens, Golden Nugget etc. took less than 3 minutes. Down the hall, down the elevator, short walk through casino and you are outside.

Anyways I think you get the idea - this place is great - we wanted to stay downtown for the weekend and experience Fremont Street without having to drive back to the strip at night - and we got a great treat. We may even stay here for the whole week on our next visit.

OK, I was looking for a cheap hotel to stay in advance of my travelling companion turning up to share on the hotel costs. I was also conscious that I needed this cheap stay over the weekend when Vegas is at its most expensive. The idea of staying downtown then was a brainwave to cover the weekend and then I moved to the Strip for fantastic midweek rates by which time my friend had appeared.

The Fremont was the perfect base for downtown. It was £30 / $60 for a Friday and a Sat in June and was just fantastic for the price. The place was clean and safe and right on Fremont St so you could nip down for the hourly light shows of an evening. The room was clean and tastefully if economically decorated. There was one Queen bed as there would not have been room for two beds and the room would have been fine for a couple - and was certainly roomy enough for one. The bathroom was small but roomy enough for two I would have thought - especially if one of you was in the shower! Btw, it was shower only, no bath. The room was spotless. Ice down the end of the hall. Safe in the room. I really couldn't fault the hotel. A brilliant bargain and I would recommend it whole-heartedly. Staff were very friendly.

I needed 1 night (a Friday) and booked with my Credit Card points so it was a free stay.

Very easy to arrive, they only have free valet parking so that was a snap. Check in at 5pm was also a breeze.

Room was very clean and bed was very comfortable. The safe had a missing key, called the desk and someone was there in 10 minutes. When he couldn't get the lock changed I went down and they gave me a new room.

All staff that we interacted with were very nice. I do not have one complaint.

Ate at the Buffet for brunch on Saturday with a 2 for 1 deal, the selection and quality were outstanding.

Will stay again.

Stayed one night at the Fremont on Friday June 13.
Since I was staying by myself, my room was small and had one double bed. Clean and comfortable.

The one thing I noticed, I had to reserve a smoking room for booking late. Did not think to try and change it upon check in. The room itself did not smell like smoke but my pillows did. Was tired and didn't do anything about it.

I really like how you don't have to walk far from the elevators to your room.

I don't really like to gamble in the casino here, it's fairly small.

I don't care for the food at the Fremont. The buffet is just ok and the food at the Lanai Express is awful (chinese food and shrimp cocktail). However, my sister likes the food at Lanai Express. Golden Gates has a great shrimp cocktail. Good prime rib at the 4 Queens and Binions. Also had a donut about 12:30 in the morning at Dunkin Donuts, it wasn't very fresh.

I still love the rooms here and the rates are great. There are other casinos and food close by.
