Fremont Street East Murals
Fremont Street East is a 15-block area full of murals and art installations. Since 2013 Las Vegas has hosted the Life is Beautiful Festival. The festival invites internationally recognized street artists to participate in 3 days of music, art, food, and inspiration. There are now over 50 murals to explore. Because art is commissioned, it is viewed as a collection and preserved. The area has been transformed from old abandoned buildings to hip restaurants, shops, and bars. The area is very easy to find, continue walking down Fremont Street past the casinos.
18b Arts District Murals
18b Arts District is an eighteen-block area of galleries, antique shops, thrift stores, and coffee shops. It is FULL of street art and you could easily spend an entire afternoon exploring all the hidden alleys. Remember you are in the desert; dress for warm weather and bring water. This is a popular place for photoshoots so you may need to wait for the perfect shot. Or, you could take a picture of the art behind the model and watch how quickly you are no longer ignored! Las Vegas Blvd runs through the area making it easy to get to by Uber or city bus.
