Must-See Spots: The Original Vegas Strip Walking Tour
Overview
Mostly indoors to avoid heat. All the good stuff is inside.
Hey everyone, I'm Jonathan. I love a good adventure and an ice cold beer. I developed this tour to showcase my favorite must-see spots on the Vegas Strip to those who don't want to waste time and money wondering around aimlessly not knowing where to go and spending $50 on a Pina Colada when right around the corner it could be $7. Places you should see/ know and not miss. Spots even the locals don't know or you might miss if venturing alone.
Some are traditional iconic spots, views, photo spots & some are hidden bars, speakeasies, where the food and drink deals are, happy hours and lunch specials. How to do quality on a budget. This isn't the type of tour where I have a flag, 50 people wearing headsets while I lecture you for 3hrs. Have fun, drink, gamble. You're in Vegas aka Disney for adults. Save that for Rome. If anything is in my hand, it's a beer.
Great for the first day of your trip so later you know where to go!

- The Vibe: This isn't a dry museum lecture. I'm not here to talk at you for three hours while you nod your head. We move, we engage, and we actually talk about the city. Not your typical walking tour like you did Rome. No headsets, or microphone or goofy flag. If anything is in my hand, it'll be a cold beer.
- The Pace: Slow walkers, we ain't got all day. And I'm not your personal shopper, watching you shop, unless you're buying me something. But, free to experience Vegas and grab a drink or a slice of pizza to-go, or spin on the slots!
- Physical: If you have mobility issues/ walking issues or any other sever medical issues... or a phobia of elevators, escalators, bridges or half-naked girls - not the right tour for you.
- Age Restrictions: Our route moves directly through active gaming environments and near lounges. All guests must be 21+ or accompanied by an adult, and valid ID is required if you want to grab a drink or gamble.
- Come Open-Minded: Forget what you think you know about the Strip from TV. Come with an open mind and be ready to see how the city actually operates.
- Photos: I enjoy taking photos so feel free to ask. No extra charge and you'll have many instantly.
- *Beyond the Strip:* I also run tours of Fremont St, the Arts District, and our Strip Bar Crawl (Bars Unknown).
