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.

Your ‘Pawn Stop’ Add-On does bring you to Gold & Silver Pawn, but does not guarantee entry.

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).

You can tell that Kelly cares about Downtown Las Vegas, its history, and its resurgence. He clearly takes pride in the area and wants everyone to know how great --and safe--it is. We didn't have much time to stick around after the tour, but I can't wait to come back to Las Vegas and check out some of his many recommendations.

Las Vegas Lore! - Wherever I travel I make it a point to look for a walking tour. I love learning about the stories and factoids at the literal ground level. Usually tours like... read more this aren’t hard to findexcept in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is home to so many stories but it’s also home to constant innovation. It’s obsessed with the new. The fact that this tour exists shouldn’t be taken for granted - it should be sought and enjoyed by anyone who wants to learn where this city started and how it became the destination it is today. It’s literally one of the only ones of its kind and I am so thankful I got to take it! If you’re looking for vapid shops or celebrity restaurants stay on the strip. If you’re looking for the lore behind the lights - you’re in the right place! Please note: You will be walking! Wear good shoes. Also - it’s a tad noisy (however the guide uses a mic/headset system to combat this). Have fun!
