Downtown Las Vegas Walking Tour - Night

Loved the history overview of how Las Vegas was created. Very interesting tour from Richard ( Las Vegas Historian). Story starts around 1905 and highlights include when gambling became legal (1931) to El Cortez hotel (1941) owned by mob owner Bugsy Siegel, Stories of Former Las Vegas mayor ( 2 showgirls and a martini glass ). Steve Wynn’s early creations - Golden Nugget creation and seeing an actual golden nugget, rat pack stories and all things old Las Vegas!

Overall good tour, very informative tour guide!!! Somewhat hampered by Covid unfortunately... ie. no fire praying mantis :(

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.

Tour guide did a great job detailing Vegas history and pointing out sights to see. A tour not to miss.

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!

Richard was amazing as our guide! He’s a real history buff and knows all about Las Vegas! The We enjoyed his great sense of humor and was so personable! We felt like we saw and learned everything on and around Fremont Street where Vegas has its roots! A+ on the tour and Richard!

Very informative walking tour. Walked at a comfortable pace. Guide knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. We had a group of 11 ranging in age 28 to 75

Richard was AWESOME! We all learned so much tonight! Took us to some great casinos my favorite was where we still had quarter slots. Great teacher on all things Vegas will go again. Thanks

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.
