Treehouse at Downtown Container Park ©Downtown Container Park The Mob Museum ©Jeff Green Things to Do Downtown Have yourself a hot dog throwdown. Grab a straight-from-Detroit chili dog at the 24-hour American Coney Island at the D Las Vegas, then compare it to the gourmet dogs available just a few blocks away at Las Vegas’ own Cheffini’s , inside Downtown Container Park. Party like the cast of The Real World . The latest collection of strangers picked to “start getting real” did so at the mega-lounge, bar and hotel known as the Gold Spike . Dance the night away in the Living Room or experience over-sized games and live music in the Backyard . 1 3 2 Slide through sharks. At the Golden Nugget’s watery wonderland the Tank , you can ride a 30-foot-tall waterslide through an aquarium filled with sharks. Slide through a treehouse. Whether you’re young or just young at heart, you’ll enjoy the climb to the top of Downtown Container Park ’s treehouse and the fast, curvy slide back down. 4 Get romantic at Hugo’s Cellar . As old-school Vegas as it gets, the classic dining room at the Four Queens maintains the practice of handing a long-stemmed red rose to every female guest. 6 Sample famous foods. The buttery pancakes at Du-par ’s inside the Golden Gate are well-known and beloved, but if you’re looking for a real local fave, head over to The California Hotel for a bowl of Hawaiian-style oxtail soup from Market Street Cafe . Play at a historic address. El Cortez Hotel & Casino is one of Las Vegas’ longest continuously running casinos. Keep that in mind when you sit for a few hands of blackjack. Dig deep into local history. You could easily spend your entire day Downtown getting sucked into the compelling characters and events presented at the Mob Museum . Cool off at Triple 7. Main Street Station ’s restaurant and microbrewery was one of the original Las Vegas brewers, and it still produces some of the tastiest suds in town, at friendly prices. Sweeten up at the Fremont. The popular casino hotel has several delicious spots to visit, but Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is the place to be when you need a little something to make you smile between meals. 9 7 8 10 28 /// lasvegas.com CONTINUED ON PAGE 30 > ©Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory 5
