Walk through a relatively low-key, tranquil, Italian-palace style resorts. We´ll see one of the most grand, oppulent palace-like lobby, crystal statues, and a second-floor stuffed with some of the best happy-hours and unique restaurants on the Vegas Strip!

A hotel & casino built for the owner’s wife, we’ll walk through a replica of Venice, Italy and one of the largest hotels in Vegas and the U.S! Beautiful hotel with Italian frescoes, hand-painted murals real Italian-marble.

We’ll also visit a relatively unknown second tower that’s a great escape from the crowds, one of the most beautiful tranquil lobbys you’ll see in Vegas and with a little French Michelin Star restaurant tucked away, hiding in the back. Great place if you want to eat at a world-famous celebrity chef without breaking the bank! Step out of Vegas for a second and be transported to Italy!

Part of the Venetian resort, The Grand Canal Shoppes are a series of shops and restaurants that meander along side a replica of a Venice Canal, filled with gift shops, pastry shops, restaurants with happy hours and lunch specials like 3-course lunch specials for $28, half-price pizza happy hour, $6 beers, $7 wine, $8 cocktails, chocolate shops. We’ll pass by the famous Tao nightclub & restaurant (one of the highest grossing restaurants in the U.S) all the while being incased in a shopping mall that makes you feel as if you’re in Venice. Great time to grab drinks of coffee while on the tour! Also show you some hidden views of St. Marks Square and spots others don’t know about.

Casino royale is absolutely not on anyone’s “must-visit” radar… unless, you’d like to have a little taste of vintage Vegas or a piece of Fremont Street on the Strip! This place looks like something out of your favorite Vegas mafia movie – dark, low-ceiling, smokey, cheap slots (and only slots), cheap food like 24hr Dennys, 24hr White Castle, $3 hotdogs and better yet, $3 beers all-day everyday! And a $3 atm machine, cheapest on the Strip!

Usually I’ll walk through Harrah’s to stay out of the weather if it’s too hot or cold outside. Harrah’s has a cake vending machine, pizza vending machine, it’s a gamblers casino but they have the Piano Bar with Big Elvis and nightly dueling Pianos so great spot if you’re into Piano Bars.

The only thing that excites me in the Linq is the Dunkin Donuts and they have a little casino within the casino called O’Sheas and O’Shea’s has an amazing frozen Bailey’s so feel free to grab one as we pass by! (No, I’m broke, I’m not buying!)

We’ll walk through the Linq Promenade a bit. It has a zipline, Largest Observation wheel in the U.S (Highroller) and it’s a street full of bars and restaurants which many do happy-hour. It’s like a Vegas version of Downtown Disney but with pot, cigarettes and alcohol. Minimal crying kids.

O´Shea’s is also the smallest little casino on the Strip. One slot machine, one craps table, one roulette table, they might have more beer-pong tables then card games. But a very lively fun time!

Next will slither through the Flamingo, the oldest hotel and casino on the Vegas Strip. Very pink, vintage photos, and a little wildlife animal habitat full of black swan, pelicans, and real Chilean Flamingos among exotic birds, ducks and massively mutant looking Koi fish. Quiet, mellow, trees, it’s like stepping into a little tropical oasis – in the middle of a casino… but they have Carlos & Charlies! So if you’re in a TexMex mood, outdoor bar and patio, $6 drinks in the morning and buy1, get 1, happy hour in the evening!

Usually if it’ too hot or cold, I’ll cut through some casinos to stay out of the “elements” which is what I do with Cromwell. Small boutique hotel, looks like one of those old dine-in Pizza Huts but smells like baby powder and regret and shame. Great air conditioning through.

Love the Grand Bazaar Shops at Horseshoe because this where the deals are and most people walk right by them. Lets just say, low-priced food, snacks, make your own donuts, chicken, BBQ, pizza, Mexican, burgers, gourmet hotdogs, $1 shots, or 2 mystery shots for $5 and my spot that does buy one get one drinks all day everyday! Think two beers for $8 and two cocktails for $17! Oh, and dollar waters!

We’ll cruise through the Bellagio for a few things:
1. The conservatory. It’s low hanging fruit that anyone can see but it changes seasonally and is always worth a stop! 9,000* real plants, smells amazingly fresh and seasonal, visually eye popping displays and better yet, it’s something that’s not a casino!

2. World’s “largest” chocolate fountain. Technically it’s not, maybe largest in the U.S but it’ still neat to see thins thing.

3. Then I’ll show you some good photo spots and vantage points to watch the Bellagio Fountain show, spots that have lesser crowds.

All I’m gonna say here is speakeasys, hidden bars and amazing food options. You’ll see when we get there!

Bougie shopping center. Just cutting through. Architecturally amazing, filled with designer shops, art gallery, and very energy efficient. This is where the future of Las Vegas begins. Ultra Luxury.

Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health
Suitable for all physical fitness levels
Mostly Indoors. I usually operate rain or shine or 120 degrees! Unless I’m in a bad mood, which I am all summer.
Not your typical canned big company walking tour. I won’t be herding 50 people herding big groups. No flag, no microphone, no headsets, I’m not giving a history lecture for 2 hrs. It’s small groups, more personal, more about the experience.
A little bit of everything – sightseeing, must-see spots, history, hidden bars, find food deals & happy hours, speakeasies, good views, photo spots. It’s about experiencing Vegas and enjoying yourself
No refunds – I’m like Evel Knievel, I get paid for the attempt!
Be on time. Like an airplane, I depart on schedule and there’s no turning back.
I don’t work for Viator (Tripadvisor). This is my full-time job. I’m self-employed. You like small businesses? Well I’m as small as they come… haha…
Book mornings or private for a more “G” rated family-friendly tour. My other groups tend to like drinking and gambling unless you don’t mind.
If you’re unsociable, untalkative, extremely shy, unengaging, don’t book! – all my bad reviews come from you guys. This isn’t for you.
Stop booking for your elderly parents! They never read the description and always expect a typical history walking tour.
This is in English and it’s a 2.5 – 3hr walking tour. Meaning, I speak English, and we walk for 2.5 – 3hr. You might lose some weight.
There’s a good chance I’ll have a beer on the tour.
I’m fairly informal. More of a casual walking experience then it is a traditional tour.
Don’t book 3 a.m! It’s just there for advertising visibility when I’m out of town. If you book 3 a.m, free money for me!
I love chocolate, beer and collect foreign currency. Bring me any of those and you’ll be in my nightly prayers and good graces
Rule #76 – No excuses, play like a champion
Oddly afraid of bridges and escalators? Not for you and good luck out there…
Out of Town No Tours Dec 24 – Jan 15 Don’t book 3am – if you do, free money for me. Thats your punishment for not reading.
