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.

Jordan is a great guy, fun and knowledgeable on Vegas’ history. We were the only couple on his tour but it never felt weird. I imagine it would make his job harder with so few people but if it was I couldn’t tell. Jordan is A+ Pickup was an easy meetup at the Plaza Casino. It was about 115 out and Jordan did a great job keeping us moving in and out of spots to keep us cool. We had a great time and recommend this tour. The drinks were very good and each of the three bars offered a different charm. We were lucky enough to have had a singer in the last lounge we hit. It felt like what I thought Vegas used to be in there. There are too many things to mention that we would not have known or places we would not have tried if it weren’t for Jordan’s recommendations. Stop reading the review and book the tour!

We really enjoyed Jordan’s tour! He was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to 3 different unique bars that we would have never found ourselves.
