Head Honcho of Fremont Street Experience Steps Down to Be President of Strat

Cliff Atkinson is on the move again. Atkinson is stepping down as president and CEO of Fremont Street Experience (FSE) and will become president of The Strat effective Nov. 9, 2026. He started the Fremont Street Experience gig on Feb. 17, 2026. We contacted our downtown sources to try and unearth any drama around Atkinson’s move after just eight months and 20 days at the helm of FSE, but no dice. You’ll appreciate that pun more once we mansplain it.
