Could not disagree more. You get people from all walks of life, half due to tourism and half due to the residents and workers of the area. It just so happens that only a couple blocks from where the author speaks of is the highest concentration of law firms in the Las Vegas area. So you're got homeless people, service industry people, lawyers, startup guys, and tourists of all walks of life all mingling in the same area.
In fact, since Downtown/Fremont is by all measures a cheaper tourism area than The Strip, the diversity even in all the people just hanging out patronizing the businesses, hotels, and restaurants in the area is much higher than your typical tourist area.
I have no complaints. On any given walk from work to lunch in Downtown/Fremont, I can rub shoulders with poverty, the upper class, and everything in between. Half the people are on vacation and love to talk to you, the other half are people who winded up there in the first place specifically BECAUSE they're most likely from a unique mindset compared to most other Americans.
If you're looking for consistency and seeing the same thing day in and day out, Downtown LV is not the place.
