Fremont Street packed during March Madness weekend

Updated March 22, 2021 - 8:53 pm

Fremont Street Experience was lively and packed on Friday night, with masks seemingly optional for most people despite a sign saying they’re required.

There were dance battles, plenty of people dressed up as superheroes or historical figures, and, yes, a Joe Exotic impersonator (with a stuffed animal tiger by his side).

With people zip lining above, bars crowded and music blaring, masks were the only reminder that the COVID-19 pandemic is still here.
