Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Kelly was very knowledgable and engaging, he made the tour interesting and amusing. Would highly recommend booking the downtown tour with him!
March 11, 2024The tour was so worth it, lots of great history shared about Las Vegas. The tour guide shared pictures, took us to see distinct aspects of buildings and helped us... read more discover parts of Fremont and downtown we probably would have never seen otherwise. We spent hours after the tour exploring on our own things our tour guide suggested experiencing.

A Beautiful hotel that will make the best of your stay. - 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... read more 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.

January 20, 2024FABULOUS - Wow! I cannot recommend this tour enough! Kelly (our tour guide) was so knowledgeable and gave so many great facts and information about Las Vegas and its history. The tour... read more was organised professionally and ran smoothly. You are given a headset to clearly hear the guide speak and his information is humorous, informative and diverse. The tour moves at an easy to follow pace, so those who walk a bit slower will cope fine. I loved learning about what’s behind the Vegas “façade” to uncover all the hidden gems! Highly highly recommended that anyone to comes to Las Vegas does this tour.

Downtown's Hidden Gems - We weren't sure what to expect when we signed up the night before the tour; we had hoped to do a downtown food tour but it sold out. However, we... read more are SO glad we were on this tour with Kelly, who has such a passion for the history of downtown and all of its hidden gems. It was great to see old photos and compare with current buildings, and also walk through some of them. Definitely recommend to anyone who wants to explore beyond the Strip!
October 31, 2023"A fantastic history of the 'old to new' Las Vegas!" - My wife & I booked this walking tour as we are very interested in the history of Las Vegas from its early beginning through the decades to the present day.... read more Many people associate 'Vegas' with 'the strip' - nothing further from the truth!! The 'City of Las Vegas' or as its known locally 'Down town' starts at the Stratosphere & runs much further North upto & past Freemont Street. We met our tour guide - Kelly at the Plaza Hotel on Main Street at the top of Freemont Street, our party of approx. 10 were then given earpieces attached by cable to a transmitter device so that we could hear Kelly speaking without him having to shout above the hustle & bustle of Down town Vegas! Kelly was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, & enthusiastic. There is so much to Las Vegas than you will ever know from there once being a train station behind the Plaza Hotel right down to the new Container Park in the Fremont East District. If you are into Vegas - not just for gambling then I can thoroughly recommend this walking tour - it lasts approximately 2 hours.

He told us all about the revitalization effort underway, recommended some hotels, casinos & restaurants and was just a great all-around resource. Next trip to Vegas we're going to escape the crush of humanity on the strip & stay downtown thanks to this tour.
October 15, 2023This tour was fantastic. Kelly’s knowledge and passion for downtown vegas is admirable. In and out of places along Fremont st coupled with the stories behind the facades. Absolutely do... read more this tour if you want to see the Real Vegas
