What to expect: All-you-can-eat buffets, a steakhouse, and around-the-clock gaming keep faith with downtown Las Vegas traditions. A good-size pool next to the street and adjacent 10-person spa furnishes 21st century pleasures. Small by Las Vegas standards, "The Fitz" contains just 638 rooms, but the casino measures a relatively generous 42,000 square feet. Amenity highlights: Three restaurants (a steakhouse, buffet, 24-hour cafe, McDonald’s, and a Krispy Kreme) offer dining options. Insider tip: Little noticed even by regulars, the hotel includes the only second-floor public balcony on Fremont Street, a 50-foot span providing clear views of Fremont Street Experience sound-and-light shows.

Under a vault of two million light bulbs, a four-block pedestrians-only stretch of downtown Las Vegas called Fremont Street Experience presents periodic sound-and-light shows from dusk to midnight. Other day-and-night entertainment on the street includes live music, classic-car displays, and holiday festivals. Like nine other downtown casino hotels, Fitzgeralds opens directly onto Fremont Street, creating a lively flow of pedestrian traffic. Beginning with magician Two Girls and a Guy, which combines music, magic, and comedy, the hotel offers entertainment Thursday–Monday evenings. Comedian Wild Billy Tucker is funny and outrageous. Steve Connolly's Spirit of the King is live Thursday–Monday evenings as well. All shows are performed in the second-floor showroom. Admission is complimentary with a one-drink minimum. Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in Fitzgeralds Showroom, there's A Tribute to The Drifters quartet. Admission charged at the door. The Casino supplies 42,000 square feet of slots, video poker, video keno, blackjack, craps, roulette, pai gow, Caribbean poker, 24-hour keno, and a small race-and-sports book. Club Fitz offers free membership cards that reward slots, video poker, video keno, and table games play with cash and/or comps redeemable for food and gifts. Members also receive express passes to Shamrock Café and Molly's Buffet and 25-percent discount and gift-shop Fitzgeralds logo items.
