We are locals and have been to Fremont St plenty of times. Playing tourist is always fun, you get to see things from another perspective. Our tour guide, Jordan was great! He pointed out a few things we had previously ovelooked. We enjoyed hearing the story of how Las Vegas came to be. I also enjoyed the stories about Benny Binion the Binion's Casino guy. Other big highlights... -Golden Nugget pool (it's an aquarium with sharks, in the pool, surrounding a water slide) *Love, love love this ❤ -The light show is amazing. -Slotzilla (zip line across Freemont Street) *Still haven't done this 🙃 Take this tour – you won’t regret it!

Kiki I think the drinking part is most peoples favorite part. Unusual locations and unusual cocktails. This tour is a little taste of Old Las Vegas. Glad that you like it.
