As you walk through the facility, you will learn about the current development of this neighborhood and get many recommendations that only the locals will know about.

Your guide will show you the best sights in this casino, introduce you to stories of Mob rule in Vegas, and you’ll see why El Cortez is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Our tour guide was extremely friendly and helpful. He was easy to find to start the tour and he offered all the parties in our tour directions to where we were headed after the tour ended! We even got complimentary souvenirs and I learned a ton about the history of Freemont street and hip places to check out today!!

We met Ron at containerpark and we turned out to be the only two in the group 😊 Ron took us through several hotels/casino’s and told us a bunch of stuff about them. When they were built, who were and/or are the owner and more interesting facts. Originally the tour takes 1,5 hours, but we were early so we got some extra time. Ron is a good promoter of the ‘old’ Las Vegas and we had a good time!

Perfect day. My 1st time in Vegas so sun and atmosphere was spot on! I am hoping to do this again in March with my work team! Only a few suggestions to…Ron walked entirely too fast and could not hear him because he was speaking forward…and needs to project voice into the crowd since it’s noisy everywhere.
