Every month First Friday takes over a small portion of the Arts District in Downtown Las Vegas, located around the area of Casino Center and Charleston. The art on display and being created encompasses a wide variety of styles. Food trucks, vendors for all kinds of products and performance artists are also wandering through the First Friday crowd, plus you can enjoy live music being played on a few stages. For those who are over 21, drinks can be purchased at several places. The later the hour, the rowdier (and more adult) the crowd gets. Limited parking is often an issue at First Friday, owing to its downtown location. Hitch an Uber or a taxi to avoid having to worry about where to park.

Las Vegas Local Expert
- Under 21 Clubs: "The "official" First Friday area is closed to traffic, so pedestrians can roam freely, but nearby Main Street (not closed to traffic) is also worth exploring for vintage stores, shops and restaurants."
- Best for Under 21 Clubs Because: Once a month the Las Vegas Arts District is the place for a street festival with food, entertainment and all kinds of art.
