About
Winner of 'Best of Las Vegas 2017, 2018' and recipient of the TripAdvisor ‘Certificate of Excellence‘ four years running, Las Vegas Walking Tours will lead you on a 2-Hour guided tour to witness the neon spectacle of the world famous 'Glitter Gulch' for yourself. An oasis of adult-minded fun, Fremont Street is known around the world for its twinkling bulbs, colorful neon tubes, casinos, gambling, outlandish attractions, party atmosphere, and other amusements befitting the birthplace of a city known as 'Sin City'.
Grab a cocktail then meet your guide at the very point where Las Vegas began where you'll be outfitted with your own personal ear monitor with separate volume control to ensure you'll hear your guides every word. Historic photos, stories, and fun facts will lead you on a journey down Fremont Street that will take you from the very first days of Las Vegas, through the pinnacle casino years, to the excitingly new and revitalized 'Greenwich Village' of Las Vegas, Fremont East.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
- Union Station site – Where it all began!

Hear and see the live performers on 3 different live stages and be on Fremont Street as all the casino lights turn off, only to make way for a custom music video show on the 4-block long, 15 million pixel video screen in the sky.
Visit the "most amazing hotel pool in the world" (CNN Travel) and even take a picture of the Sharks while you're there! If sharks aren't exciting enough don't worry, we'll soon have you posing for a photo beside a 40 foot tall, FIRE-BLOWING PRAYING MANTIS! We're not kidding. Wrap up by having your picture taken with the famous $1,000,000 on display after your tour.
