I DO NOT..recommend staying..staying..in the Downtown/Fremont area. Poker and single deck Blackjack..hell yes!! Staying..no. Downtown is trying to compete with the Strip..losing it's charm of being slow, different, and unique.
They are doing construction all along the Fremont Street Experience..zip line all the way from L.V.Blvd to Main Street.
The Fremont Experience noise is loud in most of the rooms..except the Golden Nugget....way back in the tower rooms.
El Cortez to the East of Fremont..use to be quiet. Now 7th street to L.V.Blvd has bars and concerts..so the rooms in the El Co..are noisy.
Not sure why anyone would go to Vegas with any idea of peace, quiet and relaxation.
There're plenty of places to look for that on a vacation, but not Vegas, lol.
Oh, and the one time I went, we stayed at Ceasar's. It was nice.
