What To Expect

Sand Dollar Lounge

Your Fremont Happy Hour adventure will start in front of the Plaza Hotel & Casino. This spot is the birthplace of Las Vegas and from there your guide will take you to one of the most enduring live music clubs in the city. Once inside, you will be treated to a choice of cocktail or beer. While enjoying your drink, your guide will share Vegas stories from the city’s origin to mid-century Mob rule to what’s happening now.

Fremont Street Experience

After finishing your first cocktail, your guide will lead you on an enlightening tour of the Fremont Street Experience. Along the way you will pass by Block 16, which was the original red light district, gambling, and designated bar area in early Las Vegas. You will sightsee through the newest and oldest casinos on Fremont Street and view attractions such as the worlds largest sports book, the neon cowgirl Vegas Vickie and her counterpart Vegas Vic, a shark aquarium inside a swimming pool, and the worlds largest big screen – Viva Vision!

Downtown Cocktail Room

By this time, you will be ready for your next cocktail and your guide will take you through the back alleys of Fremont to the longest running craft cocktail bar in the neighborhood. Here you will get your choice of one of their signature drinks in an upscale, intimate, and secretive environment.

Casino at the El Cortez Hotel

From there we will head to one of the oldest casinos in Las Vegas – El Cortez. This casino is on the National Register of Historic places and will be forever tied to its former owners, the notorious Murder Inc. mobsters Bugsy Siegel and Meyer Lansky. Within the walls of the El Cortez, you will feel the history of old school Vegas and you will be treated to a beer at the vintage inspired Parlour Bar.

Downtown Container Park

With your drink in hand, your guide will then take you across the street to conclude your tour at one of the newer developments on Fremont Street – Downtown Container Park. This 20,000 square foot outdoor shopping mall and entertainment complex built using repurposed shipping containers is the perfect ending to your happy hour adventure. Before departing, your guide will be able to give you even more recommendations for places to drink, eat, and party in Las Vegas.

This was the highlight of our trip. We were celebrating my nephews 21st birthday. Jordan (our tour guide) was amazing. He had great knowledge of the history of Fremont Street and came prepared with photos and amazing facts. Everyone in my group had a blast and the ages ranged from 21 to 67. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get to know the real Fremont Street and have a great time.

If you’re heading to Koh Phi Phi, Scubar The Third Chapter should be at the top of your must-visit list! My girlfriends and I discovered this gem last month, and it was hands-down the best part of our trip. Here’s why you NEED to check it out: We started our evening at Scubar with some of the best cocktails on the island. Their signature drinks are crafted with tropical Southeast Asian flavors—think fresh pineapple, lime, and unique local ingredients. And they’re 100% vegan, which makes them not only delicious but also eco-friendly! The elegant, upscale vibe is such a refreshing change from the typical beach bars you see everywhere. After dinner, we came back, and WOW—the place had completely transformed into a lively club. The energy was unreal! The DJ played hip-hop and R&B bangers that kept us on the dance floor all night. It’s the perfect mix of sophistication and fun, and honestly, no other spot on Koh Phi Phi compares. Whether you’re a solo traveler, with friends, or on a romantic getaway, Scubar offers something for everyone. Start your night with expertly crafted cocktails and come back later to party and dance the night away. Its prime location in Koh Phi Phi’s nightlife hub makes it super convenient too! If you’re looking for the best bar AND club experience on Koh Phi Phi, don’t miss Scubar. Trust me, it’ll be the highlight of your trip.

While we appreciate all 5 star reviews, this particular review has been left erroneously. Our tour is located on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, this review has been left for a cocktail bar in Thailand.
