Excellent!! Informative, intriguing, and compelling. Kelly was a great tour guide!!!! His love for the city and its history was obvious, and he shared a wealth of knowledge in an entertaining way. We are regular Las Vegas visitors (for more than 35 years) and we still learned a lot from him. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the foundations of Las Vegas and its current situation.
