A great way to see the main attractions in the center strip. - We got lucky enough to take two tours and had the same guide. It was informative, and since it was only us, personalized for us. For a first time to Vegas or was a great way to see the strip..

Very interesting and informative tour. - Richard was a very likable tour guide, one of the best I have had any place. I take walking tours everywhere I travel, stateside or overseas. He had us captivated by his stories and knowledge of Las Vegas. We were sorry we didn't include our husbands!! We hope to contact him to see him next January in Las Vegas.

Caesars Forum was the Highlight - Enjoyed this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history of Las Vegas and the development of the casinos on The Strip. He took us into and through Caesars Forum and the Bellagio. We ended up eating that evening at The Water Grille in the forum.
I would have liked to get a little farther up the strip to The Paris Hotel otherwise we were happy with what we saw. Everything is very close proximity and walkable for us seniors.
