Each guest receives a lightweight wireless headset at the start of the tour. Your guide wears a small microphone, allowing you to hear every story clearly—even while walking, taking photos, or standing farther back from the group. There's no need to crowd around the guide or worry about missing anything in the excitement of Fremont Street.
For your comfort, each headset is cleaned and sanitized between tours before being issued to guests.
Public restrooms are available in all casinos however there are no scheduled bathroom stops on the tour. The tour will walk past a public restroom halfway through the tour if it is required. Public facilities are available at the tour conclusion in Downtown Container Park.
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. As there can be public alcohol consumption and costumed street artists/performers etc. that may not be suitable for children, we recommend our morning tour for children if there is concern.
Our morning and afternoon tours are open to all ages. Our FREMONT AFTER DARK evening tour is restricted to 21+. Valid ID is required.
Yes, wheelchairs and strollers are permitted although we will be navigating city sidewalks.
Your tour includes much more than a guided walk through Fremont Street.
Every guest receives:
- A knowledgeable local tour guide with fascinating stories, history, and insider knowledge of downtown Las Vegas.
- A lightweight wireless headset so you can clearly hear your guide throughout the tour, even while taking photos or exploring nearby.
- A fun and engaging experience with plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
- Our exclusive Downtown Dining tip sheet featuring some of our favorite restaurants, hidden gems, and local recommendations.
- Special offers and discounts from select downtown businesses available after your tour.
Our goal is to help you experience downtown Las Vegas like a local—not just during the tour, but long after it ends.
This tour stops outside of businesses and establishments to allow for discussion and viewing photos (if applicable) but has no planned excursions inside any establishments (with exception of the Union Station site, Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino and Downtown Container Park).
Tour does not visit Gold & Silver Pawn unless ‘Pawn Stop’ Extra has been added to purchase in which case your tour will end at the Pawn Shop where you will be free to browse and proceed to your next destination at your leisure. Consider browsing Pawn Plaza next door, the Harrisons new open-air retail center. Rick has been known to bartend at his new restaurant – Rick’s Rollin’ Smoke Barbeque & Tavern which has a 2nd fl. patio overlooking Las Vegas Blvd.
‘Pawn Stop’ Add-On brings you to Gold & Silver Pawn but does not include 'skip the line' entry. (Uncommon, but occasionally a 5 to 10-minute wait is possible)
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.
Our tours are limited capacity to help ensure a more personal experience with your guide who will be pleased to answer all your questions. You will be outfitted with a wireless, single-ear headphone with its own volume control, giving you complete control to ensure you hear every fun fact and story from your guide.
The tour does go inside the Plaza Hotel & Casino, Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino and into Downtown Container Park which is technically an outdoor venue. We have no planned stops inside any other establishments. 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).

Absolutely Worth It! - Absolutely worth it! This 2-hour guided walking tour of Downtown Las Vegas on Fremont Street exceeded our expectations. Our local guide brought the 7-block “walk through time” to life —... read more from its humble beginnings to Glitter Gulch and the impressive urban renewal story — with engaging stories and insider context. The wireless headsets made it easy to hear every detail, and the guide’s tips, restaurant recommendations, and coupons were incredibly helpful afterward. Fun for solo travelers, couples, or families, and a perfect way to discover why Downtown is a must-see Vegas destination. Highly recommended!
