Your luck ran out at Fremont Hotel & Casino? Don’t let the casino gamble with your personal injury rights.

There is a feeling that surrounds the Fremont Hotel and Casino that no other property in downtown Las Vegas can replicate. It is a sense of history, tradition, and classic charm woven into every corner of the building. Long before Fremont Street transformed into the glowing entertainment center under a neon sky it is today, the Fremont Hotel stood proudly at the center of the city’s growth. It represents a different era of Las Vegas, one filled with ambition, optimism, and the promise of becoming a world class destination.  

The Fremont Hotel and Casino has the same legal duties as any modern resort. Opened on May 18th, 1956, it became the tallest building in the state of Nevada at the time. Regardless of the history, nostalgia, and charm, guests  should be able to reasonably trust that the property will be safe, clean, well maintained, and secure. Unfortunately, this trust is not always met. When maintenance fails, spills go ignored, lighting is insufficient, security is overwhelmed, or when older building elements are not properly repaired, visitors can suffer serious injuries that could have been prevented. 

Our team at Shook & Stone understand the emotional and physical toll these injuries can take on guests. When a hotel or casino does not live up to its legal responsibilities, victims deserve answers, support, and the opportunity to hold the property accountable. 

 A Historic Hotel with Modern-Day Safety Obligations 

Although its history attracts thousands of guests every year, the Fremont’s age brings responsibilities that many visitors may not realize. Older buildings require more frequent inspections and more attentive upkeep. The plumbing, electrical systems, flooring, stairways, and ventilation structures must be monitored closely to ensure they remain safe for guests. Renovations must meet current-time building codes. 

Large crowds flow in from the Fremont Street experience, carrying food, drinks, and high energy. Even small oversights can quickly become dangerous. A spilled drink on polished tile, condensation near the entrance, or debris left near a slot machine can cause serious injury.  

Fremont’s position in the center of Downtown Las Vegas also means it faces unique structural challenges. Heavy foot traffic generated by the Fremont Street Experience places pressure on the entrances, exits, and transition areas that connect the hotel to the rest of Downtown. When these areas are not monitored properly, hazards may develop quickly. 

Even though the Fremont opened in 1956 its obligations under Nevada law are not diminished by age or nostalgia. Historical hotels are held to the same safety standards as any modern resort, in fact, because older properties have more potential for hidden hazards, they must be more diligent with inspections, repairs, and daily upkeep.

When Preventable Hazards Put Guests at Risk 

The most common types of injuries at Fremont involve slipping, tripping, or falling due to hazardous floor conditions. Wet floors near bars or entrances, worn carpeting in high-traffic corridors, uneven flooring transitions, or loose tiles can all result in sudden accidents. Dim lighting, a feature often used to create ambiance on gaming floors, can mask dangerous conditions. Faulty escalators, malfunctioning elevators, or broken handrails can create risks that catch guests completely off guard. 

Inside the guest rooms, age-related hazards may go unnoticed until an accident occurs. Loose carpeting, unstable chairs, defective bathroom fixtures, slippery tile floors, or leaking air conditioning units can transform a seemingly safe room into a serious danger. Hotel staff are responsible for inspecting these areas regularly and addressing maintenance issues promptly to prevent injuries to guests. 

Restaurants inside the Fremont also present significant risks. Whether guests are dining at Second Street Grill, enjoying quick meals at the café, or visiting any of the newly renovated spaces introduced during Boyd Gaming’s Downtown upgrades, every dining venue must maintain clean, safe floors and walkways. Spilled drinks, dropped food, and clutter on walkways must be addressed promptly. Kitchens must adhere to strict health and safety standards to prevent the spread of foodborne illnesses. Poor sanitation, improper food storage, or inadequate cleaning procedures can lead to preventable harm.  

Beyond the walls of the hotel and casino, Fremont is responsible for keeping exterior walkways and connecting paths safe as long as they fall under the property’s control. Poor lighting, cracked pavement, uneven surfaces, or inadequate signage in these areas can lead to serious injuries.

Security Challenges in the Heart of Downtown Las Vegas 

The Fremont sits directly under the canopy of the Fremont Street Experience, one of the busiest pedestrian entertainment zones in the country. Concert stages, bars, street performers, nightlife venues, and open-container alcohol policies attract massive crowds. These crowds bring unpredictability, and properties like the Fremont must prepare for it.  

Security incidents may include guest altercations, assaults, robberies, disorderly conduct, or intoxicated behavior that escalates quickly. The Fremont has a legal duty to provide adequate security inside the casino, throughout the hotel, and around its entrances and surrounding areas. This entails having sufficiently trained personnel on duty, maintaining functioning surveillance equipment, monitoring high-traffic zones, and responding promptly to disturbances. 

If security staff are understaffed, poorly trained, inattentive, or fail to respond appropriately, the property may be liable for negligent security. Nevada courts recognize that casinos located in high-risk environments, such as Fremont Street, must take additional steps to protect their guests. When foreseeable dangers are ignored, victims have the right to seek compensation for their injuries. 

We have extensive experience handling negligent security cases in Downtown Las Vegas. We understand how to obtain incident reports, surveillance footage, security logs, and witness statements that reveal whether Fremont failed to uphold its responsibilities. 

Premises Liability Law Protects Guests, Not Casinos 

Nevada premises liability law requires hotels and casinos to maintain a reasonably safe environment for their guests. If a property fails to correct unsafe conditions or warn guests about hazards, and someone is injured as a result, the property may be legally responsible. 

To prove premises liability, an injured person must show that:  

A dangerous condition existed. 

The property was aware of or should have been aware of it. 

The property failed to fix or warn about the condition. 

This failure caused the injury. 

These elements apply to slips, trips, falls, security incidents, room hazards, pool accidents, food poisoning, and any other preventable harm that occurs within Fremont or on property-controlled areas.  

The Fremont Hotel and Casino, like all Boyd Gaming properties, must conduct regular inspections, document maintenance, follow cleaning schedules, enforce safety procedures, and provide adequate security. If they do not, and a guest is injured, the property may be liable. 

Our team understands exactly how to investigate these claims. We analyze maintenance logs, staffing schedules, inspection records, security footage, and property protocols to ensure optimal performance. Our personal injury attorneys know how to build strong, evidence-based cases that demonstrate negligence.  

How an Injury at the Fremont Can Disrupt Everything 

Visitors come to the Fremont Hotel and Casino expecting excitement, entertainment, and a sense of community. Many guests are loyal patrons who return every year. Others come to Downtown Las Vegas for the first time to experience its vibrant energy. When an injury occurs, it disrupts far more than a vacation. It can leave victims with medical expenses, lost time from work, long-term pain, and emotional trauma. For older guests or those with preexisting conditions, even a minor fall can lead to severe complications. 

Victims often feel confused in the moments after an accident. Staff may downplay the incident, offer quick compensation in the form of discounts or complimentary items, or encourage statements that minimize liability. These tactics can harm future claims. Guests may not realize that even seemingly minor injuries can develop into lasting medical issues. 

That is why injured guests need immediate support and clear guidance. The property should never be the one to tell victims what their injuries are worth, how serious the hazard was, or whether they have legal rights. Only an experienced attorney who represents the injured person can give the answers they deserve.
