Downtown Las Vegas Nighttime Walking Tour

Excellent information and a great guide . There is great advantage for staying downtown, many hidden secrets.

We had a great experience with Kelly! His knowledge of the history of Las Vegas was excellent. We could tell his love and enthusiasm for this place in how he presented the history through engaging stories. He used historical photos to compare the then and now of the area which really brought the history to life. I'll never forget what the location of the original train station has become!! Thank you, Kelly, for a fabulous evening!

We loved hearing how Vegas was founded and the history of downtown’s revitalization! Our operator was fantastic providing ear pieces so we didn’t miss a thing. So much to see and do and we will definitely stay in the downtown area on our next trip! If you’re looking to visit Las Vegas be sure to check out some of the hotels there!

Great tour! We learned so much! It was a great pace and we visited more than was advertised. Well worth it!

The tour guide was amazing pointing out and detailing all the history of the famous Downtown Las Vegas, where it all started! The ‘Fremont After Dark’ is a tour for everyone, young and old, and with an extremely knowledgeable guide who was in complete control of the tour. Two hours did not seem long enough for this historical adventure!

Kelly was excellent, he was very informative & it was great with the history. It was also great that he had the photos of what it used to look like.

Kelly was an excellent historian and tour guide of downtown Las Vegas. This area is rich in history and a must to experience at night. He provides headsets so you have no problems hearing him while walking through the bustling Fremont Street area. The strip is one area of Las Vegas. Don’t miss out on the nostalgia of the downtown district. There is so much revitalization going on in this area that you don’t want to miss. Kelly’s tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Thank you again for sharing your knowledge of this wonderful part of Las Vegas.

You will not regret taking this tour! Kelly is a terrific guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of the area, and shows photos of Freemont Street, hotels, and businesses that he's talking about. Some date back to the 1940's and 1950's. Kelly answered all of our questions and took us to different areas, and inside businesses to give the history. Without this tour, regular tourists have no idea how much history is here, or what they are missing! It's amazing to see that some things have not changed much, and also how the area has been revitalized for the better. Before our trip, we had earned a lot of negative comments about how Freemont St. was not safe, but with the reitalization over the past several years, we did not feel unsafe or threatened at all. My husband and I were the only 2 in the tour group that night, so it made for a great, personalized tour. We even went back the next night to some of the casinos, and had a late steak and lobster dinner for $13.99. Highly recommend.

Interesting to discover this side of Vegas! Very informative fun evening. Tour guide was very pleasant and was passionate about showing off the history and revitalization of the Fremont area

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, so much history in downtown Vegas, defo worth doing this tour, we learnt lots.

I had the opportunity to stay at a rennevated 2 bed room ar the Rio hotel for 6 days the first week of February. It started with a very bad start at a downtown hotel and when I called my niece staying athe Rio for help in getting myself and my daughter out of the downtown hotel, We both walked into the room at the Rio and we looked at each other saying "My God I think we've died and gone to Heaven". The room was beautiful, it was bright and welcoming. There was a full floor to cieling to floor window on one complete wall facing the south, which was into the mountains.They were beautiful and at night the window was full of the Las Vegas gorgeous lights. The room itself was spacious. It had 2 Queen beds, the sitting room had a beautiful couch which made into a queen bed and also had a chase lounge. Infront of the couch we had a 55 inch tv. The bathrooom had a large closet, a largespace with a marble counter top a sink and to large mirrors before entering the bathroom with another sink and mirror with a walk in shower with bottles of shampoo, coditioner, and body wash. Besides there amenities the hotel offered valet parking with very kind and helpful attendents. This also included bellhops. The casino was bright and had many resturants that were reasonable priced with attendents who were friendly and helpful. the gambling area was also well lit, with numerus machines, the casino area was not smokey, people were friendly and not rowdy, Security was statoned by the elevators. This was a beautiful hotel and casino just a short walk to the strip. I would deffinately at the Rio again and will recommend to anyone I know traveling to Las Vegas. It also appeared to be family friendly as I saw many children with their parents coming and going from the hotel.

It was an amazing experience to walk through ‘Old Las Vegas’ where it all began. We had a super nice guide who told a lot of lovely details and knew a lot about the city. Downtown is even worth to explore than the strip is - and with the walking tour you’re getting a Downtown expert. Also you get valuable tips from your guide regarding restaurant, bars, hotel, .. (we tried 2 restaurant tips and it was delicious). Fully recommend this tour :)

Kelly was an amazing guide. He was full of history and information. The headsets were great! We were a little unsure of how downtown would be but we felt very safe and had a great time!

Very informative!!! Loved the tour!!!! Now I'm off to explore downtown with all my new information I learned

Awesome. Kelly was nice, professional & so knowledgeable. It turned out we were the only 2 for this historic tour. Special insights, hidden surprises & fun! Definitely worth the time & money. A great evening!

My fiance and I ended up getting a private tour which made for a great experience. This was actually the first thing we did when we got to Vegas so it was awesome to learn about the History of Vegas and some fun tips and tricks about Vegas as well. We loved our tour guide he was super knowledgeable and so kind. We stayed on the strip but the next time we come to Vegas we totally plan to stay downtown now! I would recommend this tour to everyone!

The tour is a must for anyone who wants to know the history of Vegas and the Fremont street corridor. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative.

One of the best walking tours we have done. Our host and guide Kelly was just perfect. Great pace, easy to keep up with. Great for education and history. Travel back to the roots of Las Vegas and right up to present day with the revitalization of downtown Vegas. One major plus is that Kelly hands out head sets so that we do not have to compete with surrounding noise. Put them on and just listen to our tour guide. Tour is also accessible for those with mobility issues. ( wheelchairs ) Thanks Kelly, will pass this on for sure. Murray and Cathy

This was such an enjoyable tour that the only thing we were disappointed about was not doing it sooner! There is so much now to see in Downtown Las Vegas that you end up wondering why you bother staying on the Strip. As our excellent guide Kelly said, the Strip spends $10m a month on advertising, so unless you take the time to seek out the revitalised Downtown and all it has to offer, you probably won't hear about it. It's such good fun here with great live music, bars, restaurants, casinos, hotels and museums, that we left saying next time we're in Vegas we will 100% stay here, probably at the Golden Nugget!

Excellent comms prior to meet up. Guide ( Richard) was very punctual. Really informative talk and insight into the history of Las Vegas. Showed us some amazing sights ! Fremont Street on a Saturday evening is unreal and so alive ! Had photo taken with $1,000,000😀😀. Richard was kind enough to finish the tour at the restaurant we were eating at. Would have benefitted perhaps from headphones as Fremont St is very noisy.

Kelly was very informative and an awesome host for the evening. Very informative and knowledgeable about the history of the downtown strip. Would DEFINITELY recommend!!

We so enjoyed our Freemont Street walking tour and our guide. He is a phenomenal wealth of Vegas history. Very interesting to hear about and see the old photos he provides of the hotel and casinos and all the heavy players back in the day. He gives you a little earphone that works wonderfully so you can hear everything he's saying over the music and street noise. This was one of the highlights of our trip. Do this tour and learn how it all began!!

My wife and I attended the nighttime walking tour last week. It was fun and informative. Our guide provided lots of history of how downtown has developed and changed (development often very quickly and without regard to preservation) along with key personalities that made it all happen. Lots of stories about risky land deals, big successes, spectacular failures, missed opportunities, and urban renewal. The nighttime tour competes with the noise and activity of Fremont Street, but the amplified, wireless earpieces help considerably. Lots of good tips on places to stay, east, ad shop. Highlights for us were the shark tank pool at the Golden Nugget and the Fremont Street east redevelopment area. We would highly recommend spending a few hours of your las Vegas trip on the tour.

On my last visit to Vegas, about 4 years ago, I had taken the day tour with Las Vegas Walking Tours. I loved the tour so much so on this recent visit, I took their night tour with a group of friends. Kelly was our guide again and he is fantastic. The night tour is just as great as the day tour. Either tour is a fun way to get to know the downtown area and history of Las Vegas. Kelly gives so much information that we would have never known just walking down the street on our own. It's wonderful to be familiar with a place you are visiting. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Las Vegas. It's really a must do!

I loved the Las Vegas Walking Tours with Kelly. I had some issues booking the tour - I did not fill out the application with the Go Pass properly and I thought I was going to miss the opportunity to do the tour. I was very pleased in how proactive the company was in reaching out to see if I still wanted the tour the next day. I love that this company is a family business and that when you call you get to talk to someone who can answer your questions. The actual tour was amazing. We walked through 7 blocks and got to know the then and now of downtown Vegas. Kelly makes this learning experience very interesting and knows how to keep the crowd engaged. He is funny, charismatic and very knowledgeable of the history of how Vegas came to be. I love his restaurant list and suggestions - I have so much more I want to do the next time I go back.

A+++ Loved it! We were completely unaware of the history, the revitalization and all that the downtown has to offer. Entertaining, interesting, fun. Guide Kelly was excellent, so personable and knowledgeable. Loved the old pictures that went along with the narrative/description of the casinos and the changes that have occurred over the years. We learned so much from this tour. I would recommend it to everyone! Jeanie

This was a fascinating tour of the history of Old Vegas and its revitalization. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and shared lots of hidden treasures.

My kids and I - ALL - totally enjoyed the walking tour with our guide Kelly! My kids are 11 & 14, so I was a little concerned that they were going to get distracted or tired with all the talking, (not to mention we walked through the very area of the tour the day before).. But instead the tour was great, and we all really got a lot out of it... learned some interesting history about the birth of Las Vegas up to the recent revitalization of Downtown, with tips and more. Thank you Kelly!

A two hour walking tour (minimal walking) of downtown Las Vegas where it all began. Kelly is a fast talker and you get a headset to listen to his seemingly endless knowledge of this specific area of Vegas. Lots of good suggestions from Kelly regarding restaurants and hotels, etc. We loved eating a pizza at Rock Pizza. The tour is in the Fremont Experience area of downtown. This tour isn’t about the glitzy side of Las Vegas. It was educational, enlightening, amusing and sobering.

Our guide was waiting right on time and began the tour promptly. He filled us in on so much historical information about the beginnings of Vegas and ended the tour 2 hours later, giving out vouchers for various places we passed along the way. This was money well spent.

We did this walking tour through the Las Vegas Explorer Pass. This is one great tour. Learned a bit about old Las Vegas. Kelly was our guide and he brought us back to old Las Vegas. He was fun and made the tour very interesting. Las Vegas is not just the Strip. Kelly gave us a lot of recommendations on what to see downtown and where to eat downtown. We recommend this tour highly and if you're lucky to get Kelly, all the better.

There was only us two on this downtown walking tour so it was quite private and personal. Although the guide (sorry can’t remember his name) must have done this tour so many times he was still very interesting with all the information. If I ever go back to Vegas I would certainly do this tour again. My husband isn’t into many social events but thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

We booked this downtown las Vegas walking tour in August expecting it would be really hot. It was warm but Kelly had create his walk in a way you are most of the time in the shade.Furthermore Kelly has done great effort to make it a really in depth tour with historical background without being dull or boring. We were fascinated by the stories how it all began and how it develops today. It is a shame that las Vegas government itself does nog embrace it's own history and try to keep of that what is left of it.If you visit las Vegas do not( only) focus on the Strip but start with this down town Las Vegas tour !

This tour is a great way to learn about the early history of Vegas and get tips on places worth visiting in downtown today. We booked the nighttime tour very last minute and got a private tour from Kelly, who was very easy going and full of interesting information. Headsets on this tour are a nice touch - Fremont Street gets pretty loud in the evenings, but you'll still hear everything Kelly has to say. I'd recommend booking this tour early on your trip: we took the tour on our last day, and didn't really have time to check out any of the places mentioned during the tour or use the coupons given to us afterwards. Even so, this tour was a cool experience and the definitely worth the price.

It turned out that 5 people cancelled so we ended up with a private tour of downtown. Guide was so knowledgeable about DT Vegas and he had a real passion for it. Learning the history and the little things was so interesting. It was cool to see things that you would never without an insider. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is in vegas. Get downtown and see it for yourself it.

<p>Lovely tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and brought Fremont Street alive!</p>

Kelly was a great tour guide. The headsets are a great idea. I am a professional tour guide myself so I know one when I see one and Kelly is excellent. Thank you for showing us the inside of Vegas, as stated before there is lots of really cool information and I would consider doing this one a second time!

We did the nighttime tour around Fremont Street and the surrounding area and it was both entertaining and highly-informative. Kelly is both very passionate about LV and it’s history, and also an entertaining guide with a sharp wit and humour. If you’re in Vegas you should check out this tour.

<p>This is singularly the best tour - seriously. Our guide was full of knowledge and we left with a wonderful and comprehensive understanding of the history of Old Town from its beginnings to it gentrification today. Do it - you will not regret this tour.</p>

Kelly is a wonderful tour guide with a passion for the history of Vegas. He gave us lots of insider tips too! Highly recommend this tour.

My girlfriend and I went on the tour last week. We ended up being the only ones on the tour somehow. Our guide, Kelly, was exactly where he said he'd be at the exact time when he met us. He was very informative and has a real passion for the downtown area of LV. He told stories and explained the history of the area, and even had pictures to help visualize what everything looked like back then. Most of the pics were taken from the exact spot we were standing, so it was very easy to get a visual reference. Kelly was great. Highly recommend this tour!

What an amazing tour! You should do this! Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. Kelly was an excellent guide. His knowledge of the history of Old Town Vegas was extensive. He showed us old photos of how the Fremont Street area looked in the past and then filled in the story with fun facts and hidden gems. He also explained how the revitalization began and how it is progressing. I'd bet that most people living in Las Vegas aren't aware of all the new things happening in the area. I should also mention that Kelly gave us earbuds to wear during his tour so that we could clearly hear what he was saying. The sounds on the street are really loud but we had no problem hearing his every word. He also gave us coupons to a number of shops in the new Container Park. This tour is definitely worth it.

I’ve been on many walking tours of different cities and without a doubt Las Vegas Walking Tour was the best one I’ve been on. Our guide Kelly was super informative and willing to answer any questions. His pride in downtown Vegas is evident. By the end of our stay in Vegas, my wife and I agreed the highlight of the trip was the walking tour.

A must if you come to Vegas. Kelly our tour guide entertained, informed us about Downtown Vegas. It was great to hear the history of Vegas and how it all started Downtown Vegas; and the rejuvenation of Downtown Vegas. The casinos were buzzing - you are more likely to take longer losing your money in Downtown Vegas than on The Strip. Food, accommodation is cheaper. There is a cool zip line that goes across two blocks; the Mob Museum and lots of bars. It is not seedy - it is well worth a visit and if you do, go on the Las Vegas Walking Tour (highly recommended) and don’t rush off to the Stratosphere. Stay and enjoy the atmosphere. The Deuce Bus runs from the Strip to Downtown Vegas. Thanks Kelly.

Take this tour. You'll learn about how Las Vegas turned from a parched piece of earth with no obvious reason to become a thriving city (hint: it involves rail transportation), how "downtown" has morphed from a place you just didn't go to a place that has destinations that only cool-kids-in-the-know can find (hint: it involves shoes), how to find butter-infused milk shakes, and other essential information. It's a slow, short walk, so anyone can do it, and there is a lot of fascinating stuff to learn. (Plus, we used one of the gambling tips to make a ridiculous return on a modest bet.)

My husband and I enjoyed our walking tour of Downtown Las Vegas. Our guide is such an advocate for the Downtown area and I'll probably never look at Zappo's the same way again (in a very good way I might add.) The headsets were brilliant because could hear everything our guide said above the street noise. Recommended!

<p>This was just the best!! The history of the old Fremont area - the rail road, and the new and up and coming Fremont area! Highly recommend this - the downtown Las Vegas definitely has a different flavor then the new part. Definitely a must on your list of things to do!!</p>

My new wife and I were recently fortunate enough to do the night time walking tour around Downtown Las Vegas. We were the only ones booked onto the tour so enjoyed a personal tour around the area. Our guide was passionate and clearly cared deeply about the history and future of the downtown area. The old pictures really helped the narrative of how the area has changed over the years. The two hours fly by but the walk is only a short distance so don't worry about covering a large area. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visitng Las Vegas, Downtown has alot more to offer than you think!

Kellyʻs tour was the bomb! This was only my second visit to Downtown Las Vegas and wow, I never expected so many interesting facts about its settlement and development, and the people associated with it all. Walking through the casino/hotels, like the Golden Nugget - to its pool and humongous shark tank was a real eye opener; I never would have known such an amazing environment existed behind the bling-bling facades on the street. Experiencing the revitalized neighborhood of Fremont East was a treat, and who knew that such a unique shopping area could be found in a place called "Container Park"? Instead of spending time and money at could-be-anywhere outlet shops, my "shop til you drop" friend could have had a field day just a few blocks away! There were lots of opportunities to ask questions and sit/take a break if necessary, so donʻt let any doubts about your physical condition stop you. Iʻve done many walking, riding, and duck-type tours in cities across the country, and this Nighttime Walking Tour was the most enjoyable and informative by far. My only regret is that we did not do this at the beginning of our stay!
