Description

Your Original Las Vegas adventure begins at the sight where the city was founded in 1905 - The Plaza Hotel & Casino. You will learn about Las Vegas’s humble origins as a dusty railroad town and discover how it transformed into the entertainment and gambling mecca of today. The next blocks will overwhelm your senses as you enter The Fremont Street Experience. This is a pedestrian mall and attraction that will put you underneath the world’s largest big screen – Viva Vision! This 1,500 foot canopied screen will amaze you, as the wild visual displays can be seen crystal clear day or night. While touring through these blocks, your guide will take you in and out of the fascinating casinos on Fremont Street. You’ll learn the history of Las Vegas through these properties and get to see attractions such as a shark aquarium swimming pool, the worlds largest golden nugget, former Rat Pack hangouts, the Mob Museum, the world’s largest sportsbook, and all the classic neon lights of Fremont! After exiting the Fremont Street Experience, your guide will take you into the lesser explored East Fremont District. Here you will tour Las Vegas’s most historic casino – El Cortez Hotel and Casino. This casino has a history of being owned by one of the Mob’s most notorious figures – Bugsy Siegel. Your guide will show you vintage Vegas in this casino, share stories of Mob rule, and you’ll see why El Cortez is on the National Register of Historic Places. Your tour will conclude at the centerpiece of the revitalized East Fremont District – Downtown Container Park. You will be guided through the 20,000 square foot outdoor entertainment complex built completely out of repurposed shipping containers and learn about the local side of Fremont Street.
