Re: First time staying downtown in Vegas - advice
Golden Nugget is a nice hotel, I've stayed there a couple times. Try the Eggs Benedict in the 24 hr restaurant. Horseshoe and Nugget have good rooms, I think Four Queens has one, don't know what limits you're into but they tend to be lower downtown. Freemont Street Experience is cool. Tournaments are available.
There is a bus that goes to the strip frequently; costs like 2 bucks, stops at all the strip hotels. It leaves from the end of that walk area on Freemont Street; across from El Cortez. Lots of people take the bus and it's in a crowded area, so it's safe (IMO). Cab to the strip is 17 bucks.
