Our tour guide Johnathan was exceptional. He showed as the sights and was very informative about Vegas and thanks for showing us places we would never have thought of or found. We met a number of days later and the craic & tequila was ninety! 👌🤑🤣

Itinerary
Happy hours, variety of food, stretch your money without breaking the bank, high-end shopping, fine art, rare bookstore, sunlit atrium, tranquil, historical gondola, waterfall, luxury without the crowds and doesn't smell like pot.
largest hotel in U.S and 2nd largest in world. speakeasies and hidden bars, hand-painted frescoes and replicas, Venetian Canals, Piazza San Marco, hand0painted sky ceilings, secluded view points and lobbies, chocolate tasting, more happy hours and food and drinks deals, any photo spots and half naked 20 yr-olds running around in the summer. Usually doesn't smell like pot.
One of the last vintage and dive casinos left on the Strip. The food and drinks are some of the cheapest and a great spot for to-go drink. Cheap slots and atm machines along with the largest jackpot. The most unsavory characters linger here in the morning. Makes for great people watching.
Pass through one of the center-Strip’s most energetic live entertainment hubs. As we walk through this corridor, I’ll point out where to catch some of the best free live music on the boulevard—including legendary long-running lounge acts, dueling piano duels, and world-famous flair bartenders flipping bottles in an open-air street-party atmosphere. It's an awesome, high-energy spot to drop back into later in the afternoon or evening when you're looking for cheap drink specials and live classic rock or pop cover bands.
Not much here except drunk 20 yr old kids causing mayhem on the weekend but there's a very secluded hidden 70's NYC themed bar which you'll see if you book the weekend tour.
Usually more people playing beer-pong at night than actually gambling but we'll say it's the smallest little Irish themed casino on the Strip and honestly, there's really nothing Irish about it besides the name and the green, and I guess some shamrocks and Guinness. Known for their Frozen Baileys which for me is like a Wendy's Frosty with Baileys. Definitely recommend on a hot day.
Use to be a grungy sketchy alley to a parking garage and now it's full of great food and drink spots, food and drink deals and happy hours, bowling alley with live music, comedy club, shops, a great frozen Pina Colada and the 2nd largest observation wheel in the world. Party area at night and usually smells like pot.
Oldest casino on the Strip, by name at least. Built but a mobster from Brooklyn in 1946. Oddly there's a little animal habitat which they're all slowly dying off. Great food in here, party hotel by night. It's a blast back to the 90's which it's slowly losing. The garden is a great escape from Vegas. Also, rub the Buddha's belly for good luck then sanitize your hands 20 times.
No reason to go in here. They got rid of their happy hour and installed even worse carpet than when it was Cromwell. We only go in for air conditioning in the summer.
Funnest area on the Strip hands down. Great food deals everywhere. Live music, happy hours and just a fun clientele. Shawarma, gourmet hotdogs, NY pizza, Karaoke bar with 242 shots, and another 241 drink spot with the funnest crowd and bartenders. Make the ball in the basketball hoop to get a free shot at the bar. The Grand Bazar is the center of all the action especially at night.
really one of the first luxury resorts and pretention at it's finest. It's best when the front desk is giving out free champagne and wine to keep everyone in the hour check0in line from losing their minds. We'll see a Guinness World record chocolate fountain and the conservatory with changing seasonal floral displays. This is a must-see. I'll also show you some great photo spots, view-points and where to watch the Bellagio Fountains without the crowds.
A failed condo project turned into a resort. It's glitzy and glamoury, people tend to dress up more here at night. No bad food in this place and you might see some things you can't unsee when the pool party gets out. There are several hidden spots I have access to even when they're close that all my rip-off competitors either don't know about or can't/ don't take you into. If you don't like bars or to have a drink, well, that sucks.
White sterile walls and one of the most soulless pretentious spots on the Strip. If you have more money than you know what to do with, like, if you can afford a Tag or Richard Mille, this might be fore you. This is the future of Vegas Infront of our eyes. Oh, and a tree-house that's very phallic in shape.
A bustling Italian market from Torino. This is real Italian, not American-Italian... except without the Italian prices. But's it's something you won't find on the rest of the Strip and it's inside the only non-smoking casino.
If I'm not going into a casino or hotel, it's mostly because many of them are "hotel and casino" and that's it. There's really nothing inside that's like "oh, you got to see this". I'm not here to waste your time. I'm cutting to the chase and showing you the good stuff you should see and known and not miss.

We enjoyed every minute with our guide Jonathan. We have been to Las Vegas a number of times but with this tour we saw and experienced so many new places. He knows the hidden gems and secret bars on the Strip. We learned a bit of history while we were walking through each hotel and casino. Well worth the time!
This tour was absolutely worth it! We've been to Las Vegas several times and Jonathan showed us spots that that we never knew existed. He is very knowledgeable about the city, and it was interesting to learn about city history from decades past, and of the hotels as we walked through them. The summary sent after the tour of places we visited was perfect so that we could go back and visit later in our trip.
Jonathan grew on us and certainly warmed up as the tour went on—perhaps it was the energy of our group, but my overall impression was that the tour felt overpriced and, at times, Jonathan’s presence was a bit dull (tour was at noon on a Saturday). We did learn some interesting things, but overall, the tour fell short of expectations (and I have taken many tours). One way to make the tour more engaging would be to include pizza and/or drinks at some of the stops and advertise them as part of the experience, with participants covering the cost, of course. I think adding those elements, along with a little more energy from the guide, would make the tour feel more enjoyable, interactive, and worthwhile.
Jonathan was a great host! He gave me a great, behind the scenes tour of Vegas. I love discovering places like a hidden pizza joint and a speak easy. Jonathan is super knowledgeable and loves taking people to places you normally wouldn’t find without him. He also hits the highlights. Well thought out so don’t hesitate to book a tour with him:)
If you are trying to see the main spots of Las Vegas, this is perfect! We do not gamble and only had one night, this really helped us navigate the area!
A great way to see the highlights and some hidden gems of Las Vegas! Do it at the start of your trip so you have time to go back and check some of the stops out!
John showed us a number of highlights during our tour of several hotels on the strip, including several interesting hideaways. We loved the Conservatory in Bellagio and the Chandelier Bar in Cosmopolitan.
We learned some new things about Las Vegas and even went back to one of the restaurants and the Flight Club Jonathon showed us. It was a great tour! Especially if you’re not sure what to do in Vegas.
Jonathan our guide was great! He met us right on time at the Flight Club bar for an afternoon walking tour of the strip. We had teenagers with us and it was no problem, we were able to take in all the sights, bars and casinos of interest as well as Jonathan giving heaps of recommendations for places to eat and what to see while in Vegas. We were able to walk through and buy drinks and tasty treats to enjoy while walking along the strip and had lots of bathroom stops. A lot of our time was spent inside in the air-con too, which was blessing. The tour finished at the Cosmopolitan Casino after 3 hours. Make sure you wear comfy shoes, travel light, take some money for drinks and enjoy all the little bits of information you'll receive. Thanks again Jonathan, we had a ball!
The tour was a great way to learn about interesting places to go on the Strip. Jonathan was a wealth of information and answered all our questions. We enjoyed our afternoon with him. Even though Vegas was experiencing a record breaking heat wave, the walk was comfortable: we visited many different places but managed to be mostly indoors as Jonathan had promised.
Jonathan was great! He showed us so many things, and had so many details about each place. We learned a lot. Highly recommend taking this tour.
There is a decent amount of walking. Jonathan knew how to get around for sure. He was personable and had impressive knowledge.
This was the best money spent in Vegas!! Jonathan was an amazing guide who knew all the hidden gems of this very overwhelming city. I got to see not only the landmarks but some incredible little back streets full of food and activities that would be easily missed without some local knowledge. This tour set us up for our ‘what to do’ for the rest of our stay. Highly recommend!!
A great walking tour with several unique and special hidden gems. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and he give us an up close with helpful tips on places to fine snd happy hour ideas
This walking tour was fabulous offering insight to many hidden gems (bars/restaurants) that you would never find on your own. Our tour guide Jonathan was superb! Very knowledgeable and fun! I highly recommend
Jonathan knows all the iconic spots, plus some great hidden bars and the best places for cocktails in Vegas. He was right on time, extremely friendly, and made the tour fun and easygoing. Highly recommend if you want to see Vegas beyond the usual tourist path! 🍸✨
Friendly, knowledgeable, respectful accommodating - knows Las Vegas history well. Would definitely recommend
We really enjoyed this tour and were surprised by how many parts of the Las Vegas Strip we had never seen before (and we’ve been to Las Vegas before). The route took us through hidden corners, art installations, and unique spots that we would have easily walked past on our own. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the pace comfortable while sharing lots of fun details and stories. The experience felt well organized from start to finish, and it added a completely new layer to a place we thought we already knew. If you want a fresh perspective on the Strip and enjoy discovering things off the typical tourist path, this tour is absolutely worth it.
This tour with Johnathan was like being on a tour with a friend. He was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. I was solo, but my group was fantastic and we had a blast and saw all the sights.
Jonathan was super informative and engaging. We joined his tour on our first morning in Las Vegas. As we walked the strip from the Palazzo/Venetian to Eataly, Jonathan pointed out sights and restaurants, making suggestions for experiences that we could engage in, and sharing some of the Strip's history. There are so many things that we did - or avoided - based on his detailed descriptions and recommendations. We used Jonathan's tour to guide our week ... and had a wonderful time. I highly recommend taking Jonathan's tour.
Our small group, only my friend and myself, was given a personalized tour. We asked to stop for photos at the Wizard of Oz display in the Venetian. I’m sure this wasn’t on the list of scheduled stops, but Jonathon was willing to entertain any of our requests. He showed us out-of-the-way hidden gems and great happy hour finds. Can’t wait to go back and check it out when more time allows.
Jonathan was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, and we learned some of the history of the strip. We found hidden gems we never would have seen otherwise. He was funny, personable and very knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour.
Jonathan was amazing. He was very informative and friendly. Without his knowledge we would not have known about a lot of sights and history
Jonathan did a great job walking us around the strip, giving us some background about each of the buildings things. He just wouldn’t know if you didn’t have a guide. We also stopped along the way for a beverage and some of the best food in area.
My mother-in-law and I had a wonderful experience! Jonathon was an amazing tour guide and very knowledgeable. I also appreciated the open communication prior to our tour. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn some new things about Vegas - and the bonus is getting steps!
Super nice guide who was very knowledgeable. We learned from a locals perspective some great spots. We will definitely take his advice for the remainder of the trip.
What a cool tour! From learning about historical spots and hidden gems to stopping to take in the atmosphere and treats, there was a stop for everyone. Jonathan was engaging, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Would recommend!
A really great experience. This tour was very informative, we saw so much and learned some history about some of the most iconic Resorts/ Hotels on the strip. Jonathan our guide took us to some unique hidden gems as well as pointing out some nice places we could eat and drink without breaking our Vegas piggy bank! There are so many things to see. So put on your walking shoes and go enjoy this tour! Thank you Jonathan.
Jonathan was great! he has the knack to customize the tour to his audience and is super knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour. I went solo and was apprehensive but turned out great and learnt a lot. He also sent more details on email which I really appreciate. Did not feel like a transaction. Highly recommend!
Great way to see Vegas beyond walking on the streets. He takes you to places you would never know or see and also helps with great short cuts, so to get around Vegas easier! It is practical, and engaging at same time
This was a brisk walking tour of some of the casinos on the strip. We learned some of the history of the casinos and saw some of the areas in the casinos that we didn't know about like the flamingos at the Flamingo. We also found about where to eat that cost less than eating at the casinos. We wish we had taken this tour earlier in our visit to Las Vegass.
It is a great starting point to quickly get to know the Las Vegas Strip. Jonathan need all the hidden ways to move from hotel to hotel without having to walk under the sun. He also showed us some hidden and very cool bars.
Great insight into Las Vegas with our guide Jonathan. We started at the palazzo and meandered along the strip and finished at the Eataly at Park MGM.. he picked out some cool photos spots and gave us the full low down on the best spots and places to eat and drink… very knowledgeable and informative.. thanks Jonathan..
My husband and I did this walking tour the day we arrived. It was our first time in Vegas and we were able to see many things we would not have known about. Jonathan is very knowledgeable and a super nice guy!
Jonathan’s tour was a fantastic experience! I’ve been to Vegas many times and thought I knew the Strip, but he showed us so many hidden gems I had never seen before. I especially loved the tucked-away bars and secret spots in The Cosmopolitan, the fascinating history behind the hotels, and his great food and restaurant recommendations. Jonathan was sweet, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the tour. Highly recommend if you want to see Vegas in a whole new way!
I had a great walking tour experience with Jonathan. He showed us all the highlights of the Strip in just a few hours, as well as a bunch of hidden gems. He recommended good restaurants, bars, and shops - we even stopped for a delicious iced coffee. I got to see a lot of the things I had favorited in my Google Maps app! Highly recommend if you only have a day on the Strip and want to see it all.
Lots of walking but it’s worth it! You get to know all the shortcuts through the casinos to get thru them faster. Very cool. Jonathan was very knowledgeable about all the amazing happy hour deals at various restaurants. A tip - take Jonathan’s tour before you start to explore Vegas. He has so much good info. It will most def help you out
I did the “Must-See Spots Vegas Strip Walking Tour” with Jonathan, and it was a blast. He knew so much about the Strip’s history and hidden gems, and the way he told the stories kept it fun and engaging the whole time. Jonathan was easy to talk to, super friendly, and made sure I felt comfortable walking through the busy streets. He even helped me get some great photos along the way. For me, it wasn’t just sightseeing, it was an awesome, memorable Vegas experience.
Good informative tour Lots of off the track time places covered 3 hours packed full of interesting places and facts to take in
Good overall history of Vegas plus tips on food and restaurants! See all the main hotels and get a feel for the strip
A really enjoyable tour with Jonathon, a very knowledgeable guide. Lots of great walking, which I enjoyed, seeing many highlights along the strip. Great detail was pointed out along the way! For example, who would know the design background of The Venetian Resort entrance door handles; well Jonathon does! Can recommend this tour.
It was a great experience. We would not have known to maneuver inside some of the buildings to avoid the heat and still see iconic sites.
Johnathan was very knowledgeable about drink and food specials along the Strip! I wish we would have done this tour the first day we were in Vegas!
I did this tour about 18 months ago with my cousin and learnt so much. This time I travelled with my husband to show him the sights. The tour was just as good and I learnt new information. Even in 100 + degree weather Jonathan kept us cool by walking inside as much. This is a must tour if you need to get a sense of direction as well as things to see and do.
Jonathon tailored the walking tour to our interests, and led us through a maze of hotels, casinos, eating areas, gardens, water fountain set to music and floral displays. He has a quiet, easy manner, and is incredibly knowledgeable about his “home town”. You will get two jam packed hours on this tour - just make a booking. You won’t regret it!😊
the walking tour with Jonathan was a great way to start our trip. we walked from the Venetian to the south end of the strip . He is knowledgeable about the history of this vast place . All stops will help you find food and fun in Vegas. Thank you Jonathan. it was the highlight of our trip.
Good knowledge and lots of information, really interesting stuff, worth every penny… without the insight we would have missed so much!
Tour is mostly in doors so you don’t cook. You would never be able to find all the passage ways and secret sights on your own. Jonathan was knowledgeable and very willing to answer your questions.
Jonathon took us around the strip and showed us some night spots that only the locals know about. He spoke about the history of Las Vegas and the origins of some of the casinos. It was a fun and insightful experience.
