Overview
Bright neon lights, music, multiple stages of music, zip lines, street performers and more, the Fremont Street Experience is a vibrant and quirky descent into another world. But hidden behind all the show and glamour are the fun and sometimes dark stories of the ghosts of Old Mob Las Vegas.
Get to see the fun, the nooks and crannies the typical tourist never sees - and the stories most people do not know. All brought to you by a former history teacher who loves all things Vegas. Those over 21 also get a chance at a free slot machine play for a chance to win some real money - and a complimentary photo of you with $1 million dollars cash!
Tours capped at 8 people. If you have a larger group, please let me know and I can arrange a completely private tour just for you.
Get to see the fun, the nooks and crannies the typical tourist never sees - and the stories most people never hear. Come away with how a tourist hotspot grew out of the hot and parched Mojave desert.

Steve Wynn’s early creations - Golden Nugget creation and seeing an actual golden nugget, rat pack stories and all things old Las Vegas!

Richard, the tour guide, was a walking encyclopedia on History about Vegas. He answered all our questions and was patient as we were 4 seniors. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about early Vegas. We were glad we chose this tour.

This was definitely a great walking tour, and a must if you want to know a little of the history of Las Vegas! Richard went through a heap of history and tales of old, which gave me a great insight into how this town became what it is today. The pace was comfortable and Richard was friendly and helpful. Add this to your list of things to do when visiting Vegas!

This was great walking tour. It was very informative and I leaned some interesting historical facts that I didn’t know about Las Vegas. My tour guide Richard was nice and very knowledgeable. If you want to know history lesson about Vegas then Richard is your guy. Overall, it was a good tour and I had fun.

We could not have asked for a better tour guide than Richard. He was patient, attentive, helpful, and, most importantly, bursting with invaluable information about the dramatic underbelly of Downtown Las Vegas. We did not expect such a personal and friendly experience, but that is exactly what we got with Richard -- a wonderfully gregarious history teacher (so you know he knows his stuff!). You can not find a better bang for your buck than this tour in all of Las Vegas -- and that should say something in a city renowned for its deals. Before you roam around on your own and miss the majesty of the can't-miss sights right in front of you, do yourself a giant favor and book this tour. Great for both first-timers and Sin City veterans.
