Old Vegas is somewhere everyone should tour at least once. Although the FACTUAL historic information was great, the random not related commentary from our tour guide, yielded a much longer tour than necessary. We stood outside the El Cortez for at least 20 minutes in the scorching listening to unnecessary ramblings. Additionally, the tour guide was not respectful of personal space. For those reading this review, I will say that the tour guide that received great reviews (Richard) was not the one that provided our tour.

I am so sorry for your experience. An injury prevented me from doing the tour and I asked another tour guide to fill in at the last minute. Lesson learned and I ordered a partial refund.

Richard was fantastic! He showed me so many details about the Fremont Street area that I would never have guessed. He was super knowledgeable, friendly and created a fun experience that I will share about with others.

Being English we knew very little about vegas and it’s history so was very interesting to do learn about it and do something that wasn’t typically touristy Richard knew his stuff in detail He even got down on his hands and knees in the casino to help look for my missing earring which was very much appreciated
