Our morning and afternoon tours are available for all ages but it is up to your discretion. Fremont Street is considered more of an ‘adult’ playground, especially as the day progresses. We do have children of all ages attend and enjoy our daytime tours.

It’s Las Vegas so it will be sunny and hot. You’ll be on your feet for upwards of 2 hours, so bring your sunscreen, wear weather/activity appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes. Bottled water is a good idea.
Nothing is provided so you’re welcome to bring a beverage (no alcohol) and snacks if you feel necessary. A bottle of water is recommended during summer months.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed in the Fremont Street Experience and would therefore prevent you from participating in the tour. Certified Service Animals are allowed.

If you have added the ‘Pawn Stop’ Add-On, your tour will end at Gold & Silver Pawn where you will be allowed to enter, browse and shop at your leisure (with exception during days of filming). Your ‘Pawn Stop’ Add-On does bring you to Gold & Silver Pawn, but does not guarantee entry.
There will not be time to ‘shop’ but we will have time on Fremont St. to grab a souvenir. Your ‘Pawn Stop’ Add-On will bring you to Gold & Silver Pawn where you will end your tour and your guide will proceed back to the starting location. A 5-10 minute wait for entry is typical but you will then be free to shop at your leisure (with exception to days of filming).

It is very hot in June so definitely recommend hat, sunscreen, water, etc. but our guide was very careful to keep us in the shade as much as possible so it didn’t feel like a death march the last few blocks.

The tour guide Kelly was amazing and he had lots of of useful information about old... read more Las Vegas as well as the new revitalization project that's been going on within Las Vegas! He has little radio ear-pieces that he gives to everyone so that we can hear him no matter where we are and it has adjustable volume too. He also had pictures, of which some he even took himself, of old Las Vegas or how buildings have changed in recent years. Even if this wasn't the first thing we experienced on our trip, my husband and I much preferred learning about Fremont Street this way than exploring it on our own.

Amazing historical tour - Just finished this tour of Downtown vegas. Spectacular! It really takes you into the past. The guide was exceptional and had so much knowledge of both past and present history.... read more He pointed out iconic points that were hidden but still visible, both in the casinos snd outside roads. Downtown vegas was seen in a whole new light and we are considering it as a holiday destination in its own right. There were points for toilet stops and it was not a solid 2 hours walk so is managable.
