A great way to see the OLD strip and learn all about how Las Vegas got its start.

Jordan was a great leader and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. The education and history lesson helped us appreciate all the stories of the original strip. He was a really fun and entertaining guide. His iPad pictures were great!!

Great Time

We didn't buy a tour but did explore the Fremont Street. It was amazing. We had a better time in this area than we did at the new strip area. Lots of music and performances. The place was electric and a great time.
