Those are two different ways of ringing in the New Year. The strip is an open party where anything goes. Fremont street is an open air concert on three different stages. Admission is free to NV residents but non-residents pay $20.If you are a non resident and don t mind paying, then go to Fremont street.
Since LV changed the way the fireworks go off on the strip, I would say go to fremont street. The strip is so packed you can t even move and for a large portion can t even see the fireworks.There s no truth to the notion that the old people go to fremont street and the young people do the strip. I was there last year on the strip and it was just crazy with all the people packed in like sardines. Paying a couple of hundred to do a casino s nye s party with open bar and free food is the way I m going, Won t have to deal with the crowds.
