Address
707 Fremont St at the east end of Fremont East, marked by a giant praying mantis

A steel praying mantis towers over the gate, and after dark flames burst from its antennae. Inside is a courtyard of stacked shipping containers, each holding a tiny shop or bar, with a container playground in one corner for kids. It makes a calm stop when Fremont Street gets too loud. After 9pm it is 21 and over only.
