Is Downtown Vegas worth a Visit?

Here is an entire thread answering that question and I've included my remarks there also. If you are in Vegas for just a few days, you have to decide whether to journey to the downtown area which is older, with smaller casinos, but has a great canopy that connects them and a light show considered a tourist attraction. It is, however, a ride, sort of like going from Schenectady to Albany on a bus along Central Avenue. In between are seedy areas, wedding chapels, pawn shops. Well, check out this thread for details and opinions as you plan:

and if you crave more opinions, don't miss the link in one post that takes you to another entire thread with the same question debated over six full pages. It is like reading a book on Downtown.

Here is another long list of possibilities:

And if nothing downtown seems worth the trip, maybe the thought of a deep fried twinkie or oreo would motivate you:
