Quoted from Cornelius:So Bryno, be sure to check out Downtown / Fremont Street. I hear they have a pretty sweet arcade that just opened there.
Yes, go downtown to see 'Old Vegas'. All the casinos are next to each other, much more walkable than the strip. Lots of bars on Fremont Street worth checking out. Uber/Lyft is your best way to get there from the strip. Cab rides are about $25 each way (I think). Don't waste your time on the bus.
Some of my favorites.
Atomic Liquors if you're into craft beer.
Pizza Rock
Cheap 2/4 limit poker at Flamingo
Ellis Island. This off strip casino is right behind Linq/Flamingo on Koval. Cheap brew they make themselves. Cheaper gambling limits. Restaurant is a great deal. Most will tell you to get the BBQ, I say the Metro Pizza stand is the right move. You will love or hate this place. I go multiple times every trip.
My pinball recommendations are in line with everyone else in this thread.
