Thunderbird Hotel

Nestled between the World Famous Strip and Downtown’s Historic Fremont Street, the coolest hotel in Vegas, The Thunderbird, is literally in the middle of all the action. Hidden among the antique shops and vintage-clothing stores, is the city’s emerging Arts District. Drive by it on any given weekday and you might not even notice pivotal landmarks like the Arts Factory. But on the first Friday night of each month, these streets take on a carnival atmosphere as 10,000 art lovers, hipsters, indie musicians and hangers-on turn it into one giant block party.
