The Las Vegas Arts District, or 18B in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada began as a city led development project in 1998 as an 18 block zone set aside to encourage artists and creatives to develop the neighborhood directly between the North Strip and Fremont Street. What you see today was funded by and developed through Project Neon, a grant initiative program.
The 18B district is a now a bustling area filled with street art, murals, and sculptures. Offering visitors a chance to stretch their legs and take in the sights and sounds of the city. The district is also home to many parks, green spaces, and public squares, providing a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of The Strip, and casino involvement is limited, it’s a really great place to catch a break from gambling.
