The exterior of Neonopolis next to Fremont Street.

Neonopolis is a shopping center in Downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. Located on Fremont Street at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard, the 250,000 sq ft (23,000 m2) complex features a mix of restaurants, entertainment venues, and shops. In keeping with the complex's name, it contains three miles of neon lights.[1]

History

[edit]

Plans for Neonopolis were announced in December 1997.[2] It opened on May 3, 2002.[3]

In 2006, Prudential Real Estate sold Neonopolis to a development group led by Rohit Joshi for $25 million.[4] Joshi undertook an abortive rebranding of the center as Fremont Square, but ultimately the Neonopolis name was retained.[5][6][7] After temporarily closing in 2010 for redevelopment, Neonopolis underwent renovations in 2011 and reopened with new tenants.
