Although an area older than the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas often is considered the lesser known and less frequented of the two hotspots as the glitz and glam of the Strip draws more attention worldwide. However, this downtown area that encompasses Fremont Street and the surrounding areas currently is undergoing a dramatic revitalization and is showing the world that it is no less amazing when it comes to variety and options for upscale dining.
The Las Vegas location of the nationally popular Chart House Restaurant can be found downtown in the new Rush Tower at the iconic Golden Nugget Hotel.
