I live in Las Vegas. What you say might have true ten years ago. Fremont St right between Main and Las Vegas Blvd is actually quite nice and safe nowadays. They wouldn't be building high rise condo projects if it weren't.
The main advantage to the downtown properties is that you can actually walk from one property to another in a matter of seconds.
There's also the Fremont St Experience. A canopy over the "street" (closed off and filled in with sidewalks for a few blocks). On the canopy they have what is probably the world's largest video screen. Once an hour or so, there's a different show up on the screen. There's plenty of booths with fun stuff to see and buy.
Binions cafe probably has the best steak specials of any casino in town. Main St Station has just about the best buffet anywhere. Main St Station is a BEAUTIFUL place, as well.
