The revitalised downtown mixes vintage storefronts and old-school casinos like the Rainbow Club with newer restaurants, bars and coffee shops under decorative arches. The events plaza hosts concerts, holiday celebrations and festivals through the year, giving the street a small-town feel that contrasts sharply with the Strip twenty minutes away. Come in the evening, when the patios fill, and look out for murals and plaques recalling the city's wartime beginnings.
